In this episode of "ThinkFuture," Chris, sits down with Kathleen Lin Hurtubise, the badass founder and CEO of Aloha HP, a staffing agency in Hawaii that's all about mixing “high tech” with “high touch.” She kicked things off in 2015 after scoring a big gig for the Hawaii Convention Center and now runs three vibes: hospitality, light industrial, and admin roles. When the pandemic tanked her hospitality game, Kathleen flipped the script, spinning off a food delivery service to keep Aloha HP afloat—then poured that cash back into the biz. Their secret sauce? AI that snags top talent fast, paired with a human-first approach—think meditation onboarding and check-ins to keep workers feeling connected. Kathleen's big on building community, especially for entry-level folks, with cool initiatives like “Best Self Through Service.” Looking to 2035, she sees AI shaking up work but says empathetic humans will still rule, with flexible, “whole person” staffing becoming the norm.---Connect with Kathleen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kat-lin-hurtubise/The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: ⁠https://10xyou.us⁠Get AIDAILY every weekday. ⁠https://aidaily.us⁠My blog: ⁠https://thinkfuture.com

Where is the Teacher? 12 Shifts for a Student Centered Classroom   Kyle Wagner, the founder of Transform Educational Consulting Limited, has always had a bold mission since he became an educator 15+ years ago: Create transformational learning experiences that connect students' interests and passions to issues that matter in the real world. This bold mission has literally taken him around the world. From the design of living museums, model governments, and engaging project-based experiences as a Humanities Teacher in world renowned High Tech High in San Diego; to co-founding student-led programs and schools as a Program Director in China; Kyle has remained true to that mission, and vowed to share it with others.    His book, The Power of Simple, outlines the simple shifts classrooms and schools can make to allow for these experiences, and the conditions required to ensure they have lasting impact. Kyle currently resides in Hong Kong, where through workshops, coaching, courses and bespoke training, he has now empowered over 1,000 forward thinking educators worldwide to create more socially, globally, and emotionally aware citizens through project-based learning.        Show Highlights   12 shifts for student-centered environments. The difference between engagement and empowerment in education. The next step you need to take is to Implementation of inquiry-based learning.  Importance of making small changes in the physical classroom setup. Formulate a big question to create an inquiry framework designed by students.  Unpack the 3 key factors for motivation. Create magic with a mindset shift to scaffold learning for students with their own interests. Classroom transformations through peer-to-peer teaching.   “With inquiry, it's like when you take your dog off the leash for the first time and you haven't trained them to be off the leash, they're going to run off. But if you've gone through that process of like, ‘Okay you're going to walk beside me first.' We're going to make sure that when the traffic comes, you're not going to freak out, then you slowly give them more opportunities where they can really formulate their own inquiries. They know what kind of interests are, they know how to ask deeper questions. And that's something that the teacher can support as a facilitator moving from that front of the classroom role.” -Kyle Wagner    Get the episode transcript here!   Kyle's Resources & Contact Info:   Transform Educational Consulting Limited Where is the Teacher?

In this episode, host Katie Martin talks with Melissa Agudelo, the co-principal of Lincoln High School in San Diego, about her experiences and insights as an educator and leader aimed at putting students at the center of learning. Melissa shares how she got into education through Teach for America in the 1990s and the impact of seeing disaggregated student data under No Child Left Behind, which made her question traditional approaches to teaching focused heavily on curriculum coverage versus relationships and relevance. She discusses her transformative experience teaching at High Tech High with project-based learning, but also her realization that those approaches weren't reaching all students, prompting her move to lead schools focused explicitly on serving learners who are furthest from opportunity. Key topics covered include: - Implementing restorative practices rather than zero-tolerance discipline - The importance of advisory structures to build relationships - Collaborative teacher development of projects and portfolio assessments - Iteratively developing a learner-centered culture and portrait of a graduate focused on broader competencies rather than content mastery - Melissa's vision for an education system that privileges authentic learning over grades and curriculum Whether you're an educator looking for insights on learner-centered strategies or simply interested in progressive approaches to transforming secondary schools, this discussion provides valuable perspectives.

00:00:00 - Craig GrantSo anytime you have AI generated content, I don't care if it's written imagery, anything, you don't want to just copy and paste and use it immediately. You got to make sure that every aspect of it is accurate. So you want to fact check things. You can ask for sources and go check if those sources are correct. You should legal check it, everything before you go use that in the public or in your marketing. You.00:00:27 - Bill RisserYou're listening to the Real Estate Sessions Podcast.

Welcome to episode 366 of the Real Estate Sessions podcast. As always, thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you so much for telling a friend. Today we have a very unique episode. I interview Craig Grant. This session was recorded at the high tech High Touch Summit in October of 2023 at the Buffalo Niagara Association of Realtors. Yes, Jeff and Lisa, through results consulting, has created this one day session.

I hope you enjoy my interview with Craig Grant at the high tech High Touch Summit in Buffalo, New York. Craig, welcome to the podcast.00:01:44 - Craig GrantThanks, Bill. Thanks for having me.00:01:46 - Bill RisserYeah, well, look, we're here in Buffalo, and it's been wonderful talking to this crowd, and we've been teasing them for the last few hours that we're going to talk a lot about AI. And this is that opportunity. So I'm going to get this thing started right off the bat. First things first. Should we be worried about our safety and security? Is AI coming to destroy us?00:02:08 - Craig GrantDo you want the real answer, or do you want me to sugarcoat it a little bit?00:02:12 - Bill RisserLet's go somewhere right in the mean.00:02:15 - Craig GrantSo there are some very legit concerns with AI. I'm sure you guys have heard all about the doomsday type stuff. Where could AI become self aware and could it tank the stock market or start killing people? Kind of like Terminator type stuff. And the reality is that is a legit concern. And even some of the biggest people working on these projects admit they know they're working on something very cool and transformative. But they also know they're working on something that could really cause all kinds of major issues. So there is some legitimacy to the fear. But at the same time, a lot of these companies are trying to build in guardrails to hopefully make that not happen.00:02:52 - Bill RisserYou're telling me we should be slightly worried, but when it comes to online security and what Google knows about us, that cat's way out of the bag, right?00:03:02 - Craig GrantWay out of the bag, yeah. You and I were talking about this. Every decade or so, another major thing comes into the market that does this same kind of fear. You know what I mean? You go back 25 years ago, it was just the start of the Internet was going to end us all. Then it was social media was going to end us all. I mean, they're each kind of big movement does come with some concerns. This one, it's just evolving so rapidly that it does have

In this episode, I am sharing a conversation I had with Loni Bergqvist. Loni Bergqvist serves as the Founder//Partner at Imagine If. Loni was (and always will be) a teacher. Loni started her career in education teaching at a traditional school in San Diego, California. She became a project-based learning 'convert' when she started attending night school in Leadership at the High Tech High Graduate School of Education. She began to try (with little success) to do projects in her own class. Loni could see very clearly that her students needed real-world projects desperately but would probably never have access to this type of learning.  Loni left her school to teach at High Tech High, knowing one day her mission would be to bring project-based learning to students who needed it the most; the ones who were in traditional schools. Since 2014, Loni has been working with schools around the world to re-imagine education. Her project-based learning expertise has been used in several international initiatives, including REAL-Projects (Innovation Unit, United Kingdom) and LEAPS (Kata Foundation, Denmark).Direct Link: Episode:  CHECK OUT THE SHOW AND EPISODES ON ITUNESThe show is on Spotify!TOPICS WE EXPLOREWho is Loni Bergqvist?How has her experiences in all her roles impacted her insights on education?How can give permission for educators to be at different stages of learning about project based learning just like we expect educators to differentiate for all learners in the classroom?Why is it so difficult to do the project first before teaching it?Prioritizing space and time for educators to be able to learn while on the job.Problem solvers vs. problem identifiersSelf imposed rules and barriersFinal thoughts on pbl not being the goal.YOUR CHALLENGEShare ideas you gathered from the conversation with us on the socials.What resonated with you?RESOURCE MENTIONED IN SHOWImagine Ifhttps://xptrust.org/https://www.linkedin.com/in/loniatimagineif/

“Over her years at High Tech High, Laura McBain (now at the Stanford d.School, K12 Lab) did almost every job it was possible to do - teacher, principal, graduate school instructor. She can hold her own in any conversation about policy, standards, school design, school change. But the most important thing about Laura is she is all about FUN! Having it, creating it, sharing it. She never loses sight of the fact that learning has to be fun to be engaging. She wants learners of all ages to have those "WOW, that's amazing" moments. And she makes them happen, all the time.” ~ Larry Rosenstock, Founder, High Tech High

The first feature of the Stanford d.school spotlight has Laura McBain and Dr Ronald Beghetto, authors of My Favorite Failure. They share ideas about consciously engineering learning and experience with uncertainty and surprise as an ingredient. Perhaps we are too rigorously over-engineering education and human experience to the point of unnatural predictability? Ronald and Laura discuss how they believe there can be good in risks and unplanned experiences, and how we might form healthy and beneficial relationships with failure as a way to build resilience and better inform pedagogy and practice.Hosted by The Learning Future's very own Louka Parry, indulge your cortex in some modern thinking at the forefront of educational design with our two amazing guests: Laura McBain (@laura_mcbain) is a designer, educator and serves as co-managing director of the Stanford d.school and the co-director of the K12 Lab. Her work focuses on how human-centered design can be used to provide equitable and innovative educational experiences that will help all students thrive in a changing world. In this role she leads design challenges in education, designs new learning experiences for educators and serves as an adjunct professor at Stanford University. She is the author of My Favorite Failure: How Setbacks Can Lead to Learning and Growth which provides insights and narratives into how you can create the conditions to take risks and experience failure together. Prior to the d.school, Laura worked for 15 years at High Tech High serving as the Director of External Relations, principal of two school sites and a founding teacher. She has taught middle and high school students in both charter comprehensive schools. Laura has a Bachelors from Miami University-Oxford, Ohio and a Masters from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Dr Beghetto is an internationally recognized expert on creative thought and action in educational settings. He holds the Pinnacle West Presidential Chair and serves as a Professor in the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University. Dr. Beghetto is the Editor for the Journal of Creative Behavior, Editor for Review of Research in Education, Series Editor for Creative Theory and Action in Education (Springer Books), and has served as a creativity advisor for LEGO Foundation and the Cartoon Network.He is also a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, the Society for the Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity and the Arts (Div. 10, APA), and the International Society for the Study of Creativity and Innovation (ISSCI). He is the 2018 recipient of the Rudolf Arnheim Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity and the Arts and 2008 recipient of Daniel E. Berlyne Award from Div. 10 of the American Psychological Association.

In this role, he works with community leaders in the US, Canada, Spain, and Hong Kong to create new schools and redesign existing schools focused on advancing equity through Liberatory Project-based learning. This week's conversation covers: the people who have influenced Kaleb's work, including a new record of references to past guests; the importance of mixing good education design with justice and equity, and why the transfer of power, history, identity, and partnerships are key components to the process; the need to move from an improvement space to a transformational space; teaching people how to think, not what to think; asking about, and then focusing on what is meaningful learning for the students; why we need to make sure students and teachers are comfortable bringing their whole self to the classroom; and why historical context is important for understanding today's challenges especially through the lens of race.Questions?

According to one report, more than 20 million Americans participated in downhill skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling during the 2015-2016 winter season. These winter sports enthusiasts will contribute an estimated $20 billion to the U.S. economy, “through consumer spending at ski resorts, hotels, restaurants, bars, grocery stores and gas stations.” Winter sports are big business — and growing by the year.  Ski resorts find themselves at the intersection of personalized service and technological development, positioning themselves to be high-tech and high-touch to compete successfully. This means leveraging the latest technologies, but also maintaining that personal touch to leave people satisfied with their experience — and willing to come back.  All brands can learn from this practice. How can you serve your audience by providing ongoing online updates on your social media platforms of choice, by email or even — wait for it — snail mail, that are helpful, useful, educational or even entertaining?  Continue reading here to learn more about high-tech, high-touch PR.    The article read in this episode originally appeared on the Forbes Agency Council CommunityVoice™ in December 2019.    Activate The PR Maven® Flash Briefing on your Alexa Device.    Join The PR Maven® Facebook group page.    Sign up for email notifications for when new episodes are released.  Take one of The PR Maven® Online Courses.
