Podcasts about gamifying

Emily Kircher-Morris welcomes Dr. Ari Tuckman for a conversation about time blindness, the complexities of ADHD, and the stigma surrounding the disorder. They discuss why ADHD is more about the struggle to convert attention into action than a lack of knowledge. They talk about how and why ADHD affects time perception and performance under pressure. If you're prone to procrastination, anxiety, and time management issues, this is an episode you need to hear. TAKEAWAYS ADHD is often misunderstood as a lack of attention rather than a difficulty in converting attention into action. Time perception in ADHD can be distorted, leading to challenges in planning and prioritizing tasks. Individuals with ADHD may perform better under pressure, but this can lead to anxiety and self-doubt. The internalized stigma can cause ADHD individuals to feel like frauds despite their successes. Social dynamics play a significant role in how ADHD behaviors are perceived by others. The pressure to conform to neurotypical standards can hinder the ability to find effective personal strategies. ADHD can contribute to anxiety, not just in the individual but also in those around them. Procrastination can also cause anxiety for others around you. Time management involves multiple components, including attention management. Physical clocks can help with time perception. Alarms are reminders, not motivators. Gamifying tasks can reduce procrastination. The window will open soon to join the Educator Hub!

I have to admit my kids have got me fully invested in "Is it Cake?" At some point in England last year, someone begged for us to watch the show while we ate green pesto pasta on the couch after a long day of hiking in the New Forest, and I said sure. It was the beginning of our "Is it Cake?" era. We've gasped, we've squinted, we've cheered. We all love trying to tell which one is a purse and which one is a cake, and we've all exclaimed in SHOCK over those cake-based faux-leather laces. All of which is not really an ad for the show, but just my introduction for today's idea for gamifying the study of thesis statements. Because you guessed it, we're all about to ask ourselves...

So, can you believe someone “gamified cancer” to make sure she still got the most out of life during her fight? Yup, that would be my friend, Loren.

Loren helps job seekers reinvent themselves, cultivate the optimal mindset, and get intentional during job transitions. She's all about reframing difficult situations and turning challenges into opportunities (see earlier point about “gamifying cancer”).Loren's story is a reminder that age should never be seen as a negative.

Summary:In this episode, Greg chats with AJ Leece, the founder of Brekade, a studio transforming security training into engaging, story-driven video games. From his roots in ethical hacking to building games like “Fishing Expedition” and “SecOps Chaos,” AJ shares how he's gamifying the most dreaded parts of corporate training—and why that's the future of workplace education.Key Takeaways: Gamifying corporate training turns passive learners into active participants.

Think college searches have to be boring and overwhelming? Think again! In this episode, I sit down with Sam Bernstein, co-founder of the Loper app, to talk about how gamification is shaking up the college search process. We all know that researching colleges can feel like an endless, stressful task for students and for you as counselors trying to guide them. But what if there was a way to make it engaging, intuitive, and even FUN? That's exactly what Sam and his team set out to do with Loper, and he's here to share how it's helping students take charge of their college exploration in a whole new way.Sam breaks down how Loper's game-inspired design hooks students from the start with a swipe-based interface and chat-style onboarding…no intimidating college lists or endless research required. Instead of feeling pressured to have everything figured out, students can explore schools in a way that feels natural and exciting. Whether they're hyper-focused on college, just starting to think about it, or completely unsure of their next step, Loper meets them where they are. And here's what else caught my attention—Loper isn't just about four-year colleges. Sam shares how they're expanding the app to include two-year programs, trade schools, and other postsecondary paths, giving students a bigger picture of what's possible. This episode is packed with guidance on how you, as counselors, can use technology to make the college search process more accessible and less overwhelming. After listening, download the app (it's free!) and take a look around. I know you'll enjoy the conversations it sparks with your students!Resources Mentioned: College Readiness PlaylistLoper AppLead for AmericaLeave your review for High School Counseling Conversations on Apple PodcastsConnect with Lauren:Sign up for the free, 3-day prep for High School Counseling Job Interviews https://counselorclique.com/interviewsVisit my TpT store https://counselorclique.com/shopSend me a DM on Instagram @counselorclique https://instagram.com/counselorcliqueFollow me on Facebook https://facebook.com/counselorcliqueSend me an email mailto:lauren@counselorclique.comJoin the Clique Collaborative http://cliquecollab.comFull show notes on website: https://counselorclique.com/episode157

WOOT!Let's get into this one!!!My Business Gamification FrameworkI'm so excited to share my framework in today's episode, as this will help you to gamify people's experiences in your business. Gamification is powerful to increase engagement and completion, whether it's used in your freebies and content, or in your paid programs and VIP packages.What is gamification?For those unfamiliar with gamification, this refers to turning your content and programs into a "game" in order to maximise engagement and completion. There are lots of ways to gamify learning, through competition, points systems, creating levels and more.As business owners, knowing how to gamify our learning opportunities is a brilliant skill and a powerful way to improve your content and programs.Why gamify?By turning learning into a game, you increase the participation and completion rates - which then leads to better client outcomes. Epic.Gamifying content or courses makes it more fun, increasing the likelihood of engagement and completion. Whether for neurodivergent or neurotypical people, gamification maximises engagement with new learning experiences. Gamification is used in school settings, the workplace, and gaming industries. I've developed a business-specific version over the years based on purposefully applying gamification principles to my content and programs for the last six years.Continue reading and access show notes at: tashcorbin.com/471Let me know your thoughts via our Text FanMail!

How can entrepreneurship for business growth be transformed into an engaging, gamified experience? Entrepreneurs often face a challenging journey filled with high-stakes decisions, financial management, and unexpected setbacks. In the latest episode of Fordify LIVE! The Business Growth Show, we explore how Igor Vainshtein, bestselling author and creator of EntrepreneurOpoly, has redefined how entrepreneurs can approach these challenges through the power of gamification. Entrepreneurship for business growth requires resilience, creativity, and the ability to navigate complex challenges. Igor's journey from starting businesses across continents to creating an innovative board game showcases his deep understanding of the entrepreneurial mindset. He has crafted a tool that brings the lessons of entrepreneurship into focus, allowing players to simulate real-world decision-making in a dynamic and interactive way. One of the standout aspects of Igor's approach is his focus on making financial literacy and decision-making more accessible.

By incorporating these elements into EntrepreneurOpoly, Igor offers entrepreneurs a platform to refine their abilities in a low-pressure, engaging environment. The game reflects his commitment to creating value and equipping others with the tools needed to succeed in today's competitive business landscape. Igor's passion for gamifying entrepreneurship extends beyond the board game. His dedication to inspiring others shines through in his efforts to make the game accessible to nonprofit organizations and aspiring entrepreneurs who lack resources. This mission underscores the importance of community and collaboration in achieving business growth. His insights also highlight the power of hands-on experiences in building resilience and refining strategies, both of which are essential for long-term success. The episode emphasizes that entrepreneurship for business growth is not just about reaching financial goals; it's about the journey, the lessons learned along the way, and the relationships built in the process. Igor's unique perspective challenges the traditional narrative of entrepreneurship by blending creativity, strategy, and personal growth into a single experience. His work serves as a reminder that growth doesn't happen in isolation but through consistent effort, adaptability, and the willingness to take calculated risks. As entrepreneurs seek innovative ways to sharpen their skills and navigate their journeys, Igor's story offers a blueprint for success. By gamifying the entrepreneurial process, he has created a tool that not only teaches key principles but also fosters a deeper connection to the challenges and rewards of building a business.

We had already finished this recording when surprising news broke in the world of PlayStation: Sony has cancelled two of its upcoming, unannounced games. And -- would you believe it? -- they were both live service titles, including a God of War spin-off. The really unfortunate news, however, is who was making these titles: Bend and Bluepoint, two smaller AAA teams that typically work on a single project at a time, thus wasting years of development, as well as time and resources that can never be recovered. What in the world is going on with PlayStation Studios, and how did the person who helmed the first party family during such a tumultuous period of greenlights and plug-pulling ascend to the top of PlayStation itself? It's time to start asking some really hard questions. Other news this week includes substantial rumors of more Xbox content en route to PlayStation which, if true, will make Microsoft the single most-prolific producer of content for a platform that was once its arch-rival, but no longer. Also: Reactions to the first Until Dawn film trailer, a surprising end to Rocksteady's Suicide Squad game, accolades for an exceptional-looking upcoming vampire RPG called The Blood of Dawnwalker, tantalizing news about Bungie's in-development Smash Bros.-inspired MOBA, and more. We wrap up our episode (as we always do) with listener inquiries. Now that Nintendo's Switch 2 has been revealed, what are our preliminary thoughts? Is 2025 the year we finally give PSVR2 the respect it deserves? Why is it so hard to make swimming control well? Is it just a weird coincidence that SEGA renewed its Ecco the Dolphin trademark on September 11, 2001, or is there something deeper at play? This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

The combination of saving money and buying rentals is a recipe for reaching financial independence much faster than you thought possible. Just ask today's guest, who started with tens of thousands of dollars in debt but was able to achieve FI in just a few years! Henry Washington is a real estate investor, author of Real Estate Deal Maker, and co-host of the On the Market podcast, but he doesn't have your typical “rags-to-riches” money story. Despite an upper-middle-class upbringing and landing a six-figure job right out of college, Henry was a serial spender. Before he knew it, he had racked up $40,000 in credit card debt and was told by banks that he was unlendable. Horrified by what his family's future would look like on its current trajectory, Henry was determined to get his finances in check. He caught the real estate bug, attended meetups and networking events, befriended other investors, and found his first deal! Henry went on to build and scale a real estate portfolio of over 140 units, and in this episode, he provides actionable advice that will help you break into real estate—whether you aspire to own a single rental property or twenty. Along the way, you'll learn about “gamifying” your way to financial freedom, funding a down payment without money in the bank, and the recession-proof investing strategy Henry still uses today! In This Episode We Cover How Henry scaled his real estate portfolio to over 140 units in just seven years How “gamifying” your finances can turn you from a spender into a saver Why finding good deals is the key to a recession-proof investing strategy Getting a crash course in real estate investing through local meetups and networking Creative ways to come up with the down payment for an investment property The three phases of rental property investing that lead to generational wealth And So Much More!
