What happens when two beloved picture book creators, Caldecott Honorees, and longtime friends with very different artistic styles make a book together?In Episode 200 of the Adventures in Learning podcast, host Dr. Diane Jackson Schnoor welcomes acclaimed authors and illustrators Molly Idle and Juana Martinez-Neal for a warm, funny, and thoughtful conversation. Together, they offer an exclusive look behind their new picture book, Off The Wall, exploring the joys and messy realities of true creative collaboration.Along the way, they talk about trust, studio process, file-naming systems, rhinoceroses, rhino dehorning, sidewalk chalk, and why play still matters for adults just as much as children.Episode SummaryMaking Art & Sharing the JourneyThis milestone episode is a celebration of making things together. Molly and Juana share how their artistic partnership evolved from an earlier project (I Don't Care) into a deeper collaboration where they learned to trade off, set aside egos, and choose the best idea for the story. They also share candid insights into the business side of being children's book artists, navigating long-distance co-creation, and why traveling together makes the creative journey far more meaningful.From Picture Books to Conservation in South AfricaThere is also an inspiring South Africa thread running through this conversation. The episode returns to their shared experience with Wild Tomorrow, the Green Mambas, community-led conservation, rewilding, and the creative problem-solving required to protect both people and the planet. From community murals to wildlife protection, the episode highlights a core truth: art, like conservation, is collaborative, messy, and deeply human.Why Adults Need PlayAt the center of it all is a question that reaches beyond the picture book page and into everyday life: how do we keep play alive? Molly and Juana make a compelling case that creativity isn't just for childhood, showing how everyday play opens the door to empathy, curiosity, and human connection. That is exactly the kind of learning this podcast loves to celebrate.Chapters & Timestamps00:00 - Introduction & Reunited Friends 01:17 - Collaborating Across Distance 03:22 - What Story-First Collaboration Looks Like 06:36 - The Business vs. The Art 12:39 - First Look at Off The Wall 18:38 - "Happy Accidents" in the Studio 22:24 - Memories from South Africa 25:28 - Dr. Diane Mid-Roll 27:01 - Street Art & Everyday Creativity 32:32 - The Vital Importance of Adult Play 35:03 - Lessons from Conservation Workers 48:18 - Play-Based Learning Over Prescriptive Teaching 50:43 - What Brings You Hope?Links & ResourcesPre-Order Off The Wall (Releasing August 4, 2026!)

In the year 794 a populist, liberating, and some might say threatening brand of Buddhism spreads like wildfire in the countryside forcing a Tibetan king to convene a great debate with enormous consequences that will shape the spiritual fate of nations, end in exile, death, or centuries of power and prestige for the participants, and shape our questions and understanding of what we're practicing here down to the present day. Is enlightenment something that can be trained? Or is it something innate that no one can take away? Can Buddhism give us happier, healthier brains, or does trying to improve our thinking just get in the way? Can drugs help us see what Buddha saw? Find out here!

Gary Knight is a legendary commercial editor and partner at Cut+Run whose work spans iconic spots for brands like Adidas, American Express, and Chase. In this episode, Gary traces his journey from rubber-numbering film cans as a teenage runner in Soho to becoming a sought-after storyteller in the edit bay. We dig into the craft of editing—taste vs. tools, why watching all the footage still matters, how to find the right tone and tempo, and the power of happy accidents. Gary shares candid stories about collaborating with directors like Gus Van Sant, shaping music-driven montages, handling shrinking timelines and "too many notes," and why true respect for the process starts with trust, curiosity, and a love of the work.

Some of the most indispensable things in our world were discovered not because of a plan, but because someone noticed what kept appearing—and didn't throw it away. From food preservation to materials to writing itself, this episode explores how outcomes often arrive before explanations, and how attention quietly shapes progress.Is it invention? Discovery? Happy Accident? Ingenuity? Dumb Luck?Long before theories, systems, or understanding, people noticed what worked. They kept it. Only later did explanations catch up—if they ever did. This is a calm look at how the world advances not through brilliance alone, but through patience with what doesn't yet make sense.If this stayed with you, you probably know someone else who might appreciate it.A great episode to watch next about what we learn from the legendary John Henry: https://youtu.be/i7Mv_XmjTJM________________________________________Suggested Chapters / Timestamps00:00 — What Wasn't Planned01:26 —Noticed -not- understood02:44 — Remembering04:56 — A Pattern06:46 — An Ounce________________________________________References & Further ReadingFood Preservation & Fermentation• Cooked — Michael PollanHow early food practices reshaped humans long before scientific explanation.• On Food and Cooking — Harold McGeeModern science catching up to ancient food practices.Glass & Materials• Stuff Matters — Mark MiodownikHow materials behave first—and only later gain meaning and use.• The Substance of Civilization — Stephen L.

In this episode of "ThinkFuture," I dive into the magic of serendipity—those happy accidents behind breakthroughs like the Popsicle, penicillin, and Ivermectin. I share how the Popsicle came to be when someone left soda and a stick outside to freeze by mistake, sparking a whole new treat. I argue that serendipity isn't just luck; we can actually engineer it by shaking up our routines. Doing the same thing every day kills creativity, but stepping out—traveling, meeting new people, trying new paths—sets the stage for random connections that lead to big ideas. The pandemic tanked our serendipity by keeping us isolated, but I'm pushing you to break free! Don't just watch me talk about it—go do something different, and maybe you'll stumble into your own game-changer. A perfect vibe for YouTube folks craving inspiration and a nudge to mix things up!---brought to you by polyscopemedia: https://polyscopemedia.com

Our guests on this episode of Data Driven Finance are Stephen Fishman and Matt McLarty, authors of the book “Unbundling the Enterprise – APIs, Optionality, and the Science of Happy Accidents.” Stephen is North America Field CTO at Boomi and a Strategic Advisor at Revenium, while Matt is Boomi's Chief Technology Officer. There's a lot in the book about APIs, what they can power, and how they can be leveraged to create the experiences we'll be experiencing ahead. Topics covered include: What finance businesses should know about what APIs can do that tech experts already know? Why companies who leveraged APIs early rapidly became some of the biggest in the world. Did you know Google Maps never intended to make their API available to third party developers? Hear why they did. Who are the financial businesses that gave themselves an advantage years ago? What does it mean to “unbundle the enterprise”? How are financial institutions doing in terms of awareness and adoption of API opportunities? What is capability capitalization? Why it's better for finserv companies to go on offense with optionality than to engage in “reluctant compliance” with regulations. The three methodologies financial businesses need for an effective API strategy. The value in data being non-fungible, non-rivalrous, and experience-dependent. What are the risks of this kind of API-driven digital transformation? Helpful Links Stephen Fiscman Matt McLarty Unbundling the Enterprise book Boomi Yodlee
