In this episode Garth interviewed Valerie Jones Taylor from Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA. Valerie's research about stereotyping and prejudice -- specifically about interracial interactions and stereotyping -- is particularly relevant for today's classrooms and culture. She studies 'meta-stereotypes,' or the stereotypes a person believes someone will have about them -- and then due to anxiety, I may be motivated to disprove the stereotype.  Her research and teaching intersect as she utilizes effective methods of fictional (comic strip) and virtual (VR) worlds in the laboratory and in her classes to test theories from social psychology intended to be interventions to reduce racism.  By using VR technology, Valerie's students can have brief experiences with the homeless, refugees, and more.

In this episode we talk to Era Dogra about the Microsoft Innovative Educators Excellence (MIEE) Program. Even before the pandemic, the use of electronic tools in education had been incresing tremendously. The need for online platforms and communication caused by the COVID restrictions has only caused this trend to balloon exponentially. It is important for teachers to be adept at navigating many different platforms and resources. Era gives us a tour of Microsoft's Innovative Educator program and tells us how it helps her and her students every day.

Today, I’m excited to talk to Zachary Eikenberry, a CoFounder, Director and CEO of Hook Security, which uses Psychological Security, or PsySec™, to teach employees how to spot and avoid phishing attacks and create a healthy security-aware culture company wide. Before Hook, Zach was a Founder and the CEO of The NEXT Schools in Greenville, SC. These schools provided entrepreneurial experiences for over 900 students between 2 high schools and a middle school.  Zach has over 14 years of startup experience since graduating from Purdue University with degrees in Philosophy and Economics, including the successful launch of a SaaS company in addition to his ongoing consulting practice.  He has been recognized as a Top Ten most Innovative Educator, a TEDx Speaker, and a conference speaker on the nature of innovation and education. Welcome Zach! In this episode… In this episode you will hear why Zach likes the summer olympics over the winter olympics, and the curious reason why. Also, Zach recalls a story in relation to an offer that was too good to refuse, but it all came down to a personal guarantee.  So, this offer?  Ultimately it was turned down. When it comes down to sharing, describing and showing data of the pipeline, authenticity is key and of ultra importance.  Oftentimes as things gain traction, people get worried they are missing out and that should not be the case.  But, on the flip side, putting yourself in the investor’s shoes may help you see more clearly as to why they feel this way. Relationships that align with investors make an almost-perfect relationship.  Most founders feel they need to be perfect and not show weakness when in front of them but in reality, most investors are skeptical of perfection as they wonder why they’re at the table if everything is all “unicorns and rainbows.”  Now, some investors do want to hear perfection and a pretty picture without negativity, but not all.   Let’s talk home runs!  Institutional investors have to hit home runs.  However, hitting the moon isn’t always reality, and one hopes to never crash into the oceans.  Hitting projections is the true objective, and that is all investors really need to hear. Finally, it comes down to this, investors need entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs need investors.  They go hand-in-hand.  One cannot go on without the other.

Today’s Run Your Life podcast is really a two-part series that was recorded live back in Toronto a few weeks ago with my good friend Joey Feith. We took the time to really dig deep into our own teaching practice to draw out core beliefs that we hold about good pedagogy and instruction. In this episode, Joey shares his unique journey and path that has led him to being one of the most sought after speakers in the arena of physical education worldwide.Today’s show is not just about what it takes to be a great physical educator but also the critical importance of pursuing personal excellence along the way. Joey delves into the mindset and work ethic that has propelled him forward in his teaching and his fundamental beliefs about the creative process in regards to the amazing resources he has developed over the years. Any educator listening to this podcast will gain immediate takeaway value applicable in their own teaching practice. Bio Joey Feith is the founder of ThePhysicalEducator.com. He currently teaches physical education in Montreal, Canada. Joey believes that every child should have access to a world class physical education experience, and that teacher professional development is the key to that. That is why, between lesson planning and helping kids improve their running, he has dedicated thousands of hours to creating a site that helps inspire fellow physical educators. Joey has presented his ideas at the local, provincial, national, and international levels through various speaking and training events. He is a recipient of Physical and Health Education Canada's Dr. Andy Anderson Young Professional Award and was an Education finalist in the 6th Annual Shorty Awards, an awards ceremony honouring the best in social media.
