Rethinking Education
"We need revolution, not evolution!" - Education of the Head, Heart and Hand, with Sarah Seleznyov and Liz Robinson

Too many young people are getting a "desiccated" education – narrow, information-transfer schooling optimised for exams. In this episode, James and David are joined by Liz Robinson and Sarah Seleznyov of Big Education – the "feisty little multi-academy trust" behind School 21, School 360 and Surrey Square – to make the case for something bigger: an education of the head (academic learning), heart (wellbeing and relationships) and hand (creativity and skills). The conversation centres on the new book from the Rethinking School project, A Practical Guide to a Big Education: Balancing Head, Heart and Hand, edited by Sarah Seleznyov and Robert Lobatto – a collection of chapters written by school leaders and teachers who are actually doing this work, each paired with a vignette from another school and reflective questions to help you find your own way in. Not a recipe book, but an invitation to be a little bit braver. In this episode we explore: -Why pedagogy was written out of the Curriculum and Assessment Review – and why curriculum, pedagogy and assessment have to change together ("if you only pull one string in the marionette, it jerks") -England's uniquely narrow definition of curriculum and learning – and how it compares with models from around the world -What Big Education is, and what an education of the head, heart and hand actually means -The Milburn report on youth unemployment – and why the problems start in Year 1, not at upper secondary -Liz's "soapbox rant": Every Child Matters, extended schools, co-located services – and what was lost when it was all set on fire -Think systemically, act systematically: systems thinking, design thinking and vertical slice change teams Authentic leadership: vulnerability, ego, the kelp metaphor – and why Liz is learning to bring "Lizzie" to work -Being evidence-informed: why data is richer than numbers, the trouble with RCTs and the EEF toolkit, and engaging with research and in research -Interdisciplinary project-based learning – and the jaw-dropping story of the Ofsted inspector who withheld 'outstanding' because children didn't know their learning was called history -Can we teach and assess transferable competencies? And do we have to trade exam results for a broader education? (Spoiler: no) -Lessons from curriculum reform in Scotland, Wales and British Columbia – why transforming practice takes time, investment and serious professional development -Why we need revolution, not evolution About the guests Liz Robinson is co-founder and CEO of Big Education. She became a headteacher at 29, leading Surrey Square Primary in south London for many years, and created the Big Leadership Adventure. She advocates for – and models – an authentic, reflective and relational approach to leadership. Sarah Seleznyov is Strategic Project Lead at Big Education and leads the Rethinking School project. She has worked in London schools for over 25 years as a deputy head, school improvement consultant and teaching school director, and previously led research-informed leadership programmes at the UCL Institute of Education. Her research specialism is Japanese lesson study.

I had Gloria Martinez-Granados on the show today. I was fortunate to meet her at Earth Maker Gallery, which is Thomas "Breeze" Marcus's Gallery in Phoenix, and get the chance to talk to her. I was just fascinated with how she makes her art, the intensity she works with, and the time it takes. One of the pieces that she did took over 210 days and it was made of 48,900 individual stitches. As you can imagine it's a very labor intensive undertaking. As interesting as her art is, she is equally interesting. Gloria has this long path that lead her to where she is today. She came over with her parents as an undocumented child at the age of eight. That journey of finding her place in America is fascinating as is how she reflects on being an artist in America. On her journey, Gloria got a nursing degree, and then eventually went back and got an art degree at ASU. Fast forward to today, and she has numerous award and has been a part of major museum shows.I really had a great time on this podcast, and I can always tell when I'm having fun on a podcast when time literally stops. I couldn't have told you if it was 5 minutes or 2 hours. It was a great to listen to her journey and witness her enthusiasm in person. I encourage you to watch it on YouTube if you can, just to see her beautiful smile, because she's there's such a genuineness to her and to her art and the creativity that comes through in her work.I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I did. This is interdisciplinary artist Gloria Martinez-Granados on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 404.

Is There a Nexus Existing Between The Orchid Flower and The Elderly People? An Interdisciplinary, Theological, and Metaphorical Reflection. © 2026. ISBN 978-976-97997-3-8.mp3AbstractThis scholarly conversation explores whether a meaningful nexus exists between the orchid flower and elderly people. Rather than presenting a biological comparison, the discussion develops a metaphorical, theological, philosophical, and interdisciplinary framework informed by media arts, cultural theory, environmental appreciation, and Christian devotion. Orchids and elderly people occupy distinct kingdoms of life; however, both exemplify beauty, resilience, diversity, adaptation, and intrinsic worth. Through the integration of botanical history, gerontology, biblical theology, and cultural symbolism, this essay argues that orchids provide an illuminating metaphor for understanding aging with dignity. Ultimately, the comparison invites readers to reconsider cultural assumptions about age while affirming that every stage of life reflects God's creative wisdom. All things being considered it should be noted that the social constructs  orchids, elderly, aging, metaphor, theology, ecology, cultural theory, are media arts are critical to this discourse.Dr. William Anderson Gittens, Doctor of DivinityReferencesBoyce, W.

In this episode Eric interviews Jon Krosnick from Stanford University in Stanford, CA. Jon discusses his cross-appointments and major initiatives, including a new sustainability school funded by a $1.3–$1.4B private gift, hiring about 60 faculty members, and the role of Environmental Social Sciences in ensuring that engineered solutions work with human behavior. He describes the interdisciplinary challenges of building a new PhD core, admits difficulty saying no, and explains the Stanford Institute for Excellence in Survey Research and his focus on meticulous methodology. He recounts training at Harvard and Michigan's Institute for Social Research, Ohio State (18 years), and a fellowship that shaped his ethical perspective. Discussing activism, he says protests may not change attitudes but strongly signal constituent passion to lawmakers; attitude change is often small and short-lived, so campaigns focus on turnout. He also explains Census Bureau work improving household respondent selection protocols and shares his parallel career as a jazz drummer with long-running bands and about 200 performances a year.

Revisiting Psalm 23: An Interdisciplinary Perspective © 2026 .mp3Abstract OverviewPsalm 23 is more than its poetic simplicity might suggest. Beneath its tranquil verses lie profound theological insights, literary artistry, layered cultural significance, and deep spiritual comfort. Existing biblical scholarship has long praised these aspects (Brueggemann, 2014; Goldingay, 2006), yet my approach adds a fresh lens by integrating perspectives from publishing, cinematography, photojournalism, and communication theory. This broad interdisciplinary engagement reveals how Psalm 23 communicates enduring truths in ways that resonate powerfully with contemporary audiences through various artistic and media forms.Dr. William Anderson Gittens, Doctor of Divinity, Podcast 302 Revisiting Psalm 23: An Interdisciplinary Perspective By Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D.© 2026 ISBN 978-976-97997-0-7 Devgro Media Arts Services Publishing®2015 In collaboration with iMovie present Podcast 302 Revisiting Psalm 23: An Interdisciplinary Perspective By Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D.© 2026 ISBN 978-976-97997-0-7RECOGNITIONSAs I take a moment to reflect on my journey, I am filled with profound gratitude for the Creator's guiding hand that has led me every step of the way. Life has brought me countless blessings, and at the forefront of these blessings is the immeasurable debt of thanks I owe to my late parents, Charles and Ira Gittens. They bestowed upon me their wisdom and creative spirit, which have been a consistent source of inspiration throughout my life. Their counsel and encouragement continue to resonate within me, shaping my path and purpose. To my beloved wife, Magnola Gittens, your unwavering support has been my anchor in turbulent seas. Your love and understanding provide the strength necessary to navigate life's complexities. I am eternally grateful for your presence, which comforts and uplifts me. To my brothers—Shurland, Charles, Ricardo, and my late brothers Arnott and Stephen—as well as my sisters, Emerald, Marcella, and Cheryl, thank you for being my steadfast companions along this journey. Each of you has contributed uniquely to my narrative, reminding me of the importance of family ties in shaping who I am today. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to my cousins: Joy Mayers, Kevin and Ernest Mayers, Donna Archer, Avis Dyer, and Jackie Clarke. Your love and camaraderie have enriched my life beyond measure. To my uncles, Clifford, Leonard Mayers, David Bruce, and Collin Rock, your support has been invaluable, strengthening the bonds of our family. To my children, Laron and Lisa, grandson Elijah you are my pride and joy, the motivation behind my work, fuelling my desire to create and inspire.Moreover, I am equally grateful to all who have believed in me and wanted nothing but the best for my growth. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Platizky, Mr. Matthew Sutton, Mr. Juan Arroyo, Mr. and Mrs. David Lavine, and many others have played pivotal roles in my development, encouraging me to pursue my passions relentlessly. During my time at New Jersey City University (NJCU), I had the privilege of receiving guidance from exceptional mentors, including the late Dr. Joseph Drew, Merline Mayers, Mrs. Ellen Gordon, Dr. Nicholas Gordon, Rev. Dr. Scofield Eversley BSS, and many others. Conversations about enhancing my writing skills after graduating were integral to my growth, providing the foundation for my future endeavours. Over the past three decades, my experiences in the leisure activities industry have significantly shaped my journey. From 1995 to 2026, I have devoted myself to writing, resulting in 474 E-Publications and 302 podcasts that resonate within the community. In recognition of the profound impact Dr. Joseph Drew had on my academic and personal development, I dedicated my 66th publication, "A Tribute to Culture" Vol. 1, to him—a small token of gratitude for his enormous influence on my life.As I look forward to what lies ahead, I remain thankful to all who have contributed to my story and to the Creator for the endless possibilities this journey holds. Each person's presence has left an indelible mark on my life, guiding me toward a future filled with hope and potential.Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D. ReferencesAlter, R. (2007).

Are you wondering what's new in osteoporosis research for 2026? In this episode, I'm joined by my husband, Dr. Craig Bissinger, as we review the most exciting osteoporosis updates from 2026. We share insights from the Interdisciplinary Symposium on Osteoporosis in Washington, DC, covering everything from new medications and bone-building drugs to the latest research on estrogen therapy and early screening strategies. We discuss the FDA's new endpoint for drug approval, which could speed up the availability of new medications like the oral version of Forteo. We also review the removal of the estrogen black box warning, showing that for many women, the benefits outweigh the risks, especially for those under 60 or within 10 years of menopause. We also dive into bone turnover markers that track bone building and breakdown in real time, helping you see progress in months rather than years. Finally, we discuss new screening guidelines, early detection for women, and the importance of interdisciplinary care. Tune in to learn how you can be proactive in protecting and strengthening your bones.   "By changing the criteria for assessing the quality of the drug, they've chosen a different parameter, which is the Bone Mineral Density [BMD]...You're going to have a much more rapid evaluation, and henceforth new drugs will be able to come to the market earlier." ~ Dr. Craig Bissinger    In this episode: - [01:23] - FDA approves total hip BMD as endpoint for drug trials - [01:57] - Oral Forteo: First pill version of anabolic drug - [04:29] - Removal of estrogen black box warning and implications - [10:16] - Estrogen for bone health, heart, and colon protection - [11:36] - Short-course anabolic therapy vs. maintenance therapy - [16:35] - Importance of medication sequencing - [24:30] - Bone turnover markers for monitoring progress - [32:04] - New screening guidelines for women - [37:55] - Bone medication and cardiovascular risk - [40:07] - The use of AI in diagnostics - [43:18] - Interdisciplinary care and referrals to physical therapy   Resources - Get quality supplements from Margie's Fullscript Dispensary - https://tinyurl.com/paylesssupplements - Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures (video series) - https://tinyurl.com/strongerbonesexercises   More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/  - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/  - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en    DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

Interdisciplinary artist Manny Valdez joins What's My Thesis? to discuss his participatory practice, recent projects, and experiences as an MFA graduate from Otis College of Art and Design. Drawing on performance, installation, screen printing, and artist participation, Valdez examines how artists construct identity, navigate institutional structures, and create opportunities within the contemporary Los Angeles art world. The conversation explores the realities of art education, grant applications, rejection, networking, retail labor, and teaching, alongside broader questions about artistic ambition, community, and sustaining a practice outside conventional career pathways. Throughout, Valdez reflects on the value of collaboration, resilience, and creating work that invites dialogue rather than certainty.

Emma Fitts is a Ōtautahi-based Interdisciplinary artist working amongst sculpture, photography, and textile installation. Drawing from an expanded painting practice in which the canvas is reimagined as an active material in itself, creating its own imagery and form while also behaving as its own support structure. Resulting in these immersive material rich spaces that contemplate architecture, textiles, queer history, feminism and memory.  In her current exhibition at Melanie Roger Gallery, Emerald Pools Fitts explores the notions of memory through the revisitation of a work first exhibited in the courtyard at Objectspace (2022) as lapping at your door, and later reconfigured for the installation of The Air like a stone presented at The Physics Room (2023). The work then undertook another reconfiguration and is now back here in Tāmak at Melanie Roger Gallery, presented as Emerald Pools.  Through each of its reconfigurations the work has built up this rich history, holding residue of its past lives and allowing the works memories of reconfiguration, weather exposure, and re-installation to become embedded within the work itself. Alongside the memory of the work's various iterations the work also holds the history of its own making process at its forefront. With Fitts purposefully exposing the works methods of construction through raw seams, and canvas folds. Shifting the viewers attention to not only the work itself but also the wider histories a work might hold. The show becomes a site of multiplicity, holding the work's accumulative history of its prior contexts, configurations, and surrounding dialogues. Maya caught up with Emma about the show and her overall practice.

As part of the Future of Texas series in partnership with Texas 2036, this episode explores how higher education will shape the state's workforce, economy, and long-term competitiveness. Through the Future of Texas podcast series, Texas 2036 brings together diverse perspectives as we explore the opportunities and challenges facing our state over the next ten years. The views expressed in this program are those of the individual speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views of Texas 2036, its staff or its Board of Directors. Host Brad Swail is joined by Texas A&M Chancellor Glenn Hegar and David Leebron, President and CEO of Texas 2036 and former President of Rice University, for a comprehensive look at the future of higher education in a rapidly growing Texas. With millions more Texans expected by 2036, the conversation examines how universities are adapting to rising demand, changing workforce needs, and growing concerns about the cost and value of a college degree. A major theme is the evolving role of higher education — not just as a pathway to jobs, but as a driver of innovation, economic growth, and opportunity across the state. The discussion covers: • How Texas' population growth is reshaping higher education demand • The gap between workforce needs and degree attainment • Why more Texans need postsecondary credentials • The role of regional universities and community colleges • Affordability challenges and pathways to lower student debt • Differences between public and private institutions • The importance of leadership, flexibility, and institutional independence • Collaboration across universities and with industry • How research drives innovation and new industries • Texas' growing role in semiconductors and advanced manufacturing • Why space exploration is becoming a major economic opportunity • The future of nuclear energy and meeting rising power demand • The importance of K–12 readiness in long-term success • How policymakers can better align education with workforce needs The episode also highlights a key shift: universities are increasingly serving as hubs for talent development, research, and industry collaboration — all critical to maintaining Texas' economic momentum. Looking ahead to 2036, success will be measured not just by enrollment, but by outcomes — including workforce readiness, income growth, and the ability of Texas institutions to compete globally. 00:00 — Intro + Future of Texas series overview 00:26 — Why higher education matters for Texas' future 01:10 — Guest introductions: Glenn Hegar & David Leebron 02:14 — Texas A&M system size and statewide reach 03:19 — Growth across Texas universities 05:00 — Competing for students in a growing state 07:12 — Workforce demand vs degree attainment gap 08:51 — Expanding university missions and impact 10:18 — Growth of AI, semiconductors, and emerging industries 11:44 — Collaboration across universities and systems 13:13 — Interdisciplinary innovation and research 14:09 — Public vs private universities explained 15:55 — Leadership and institutional flexibility 17:09 — Affordability challenges in higher education 18:01 — Community colleges and alternative pathways 19:07 — Financial aid transparency and access 20:21 — Policy priorities for the next decade 21:57 — Investing in research and innovation 23:04 — K–12 pipeline and readiness challenges 24:59 — Space industry growth and Texas' role 27:35 — Economic impact of space innovation 30:37 — Semiconductor investment and workforce pipeline 33:10 — Universities and private industry collaboration 36:14 — Nuclear energy and future power needs 38:46 — Measuring success by 2036 41:15 — Final thoughts on leadership and opportunity 43:07 — Closing Watch Full-Length Interviews: https://www.youtube.com/@TexasTalks

Known for his articulate teaching style and clinically grounded philosophy, Dr. Burton has developed a reputation for translating complex restorative and prosthodontic principles into practical, reproducible workflows that can be implemented immediately in everyday practice. Clinical Philosophy and Focus Dr. Burton's approach to dentistry is rooted in a comprehensive, systems-based model of care, where diagnosis precedes intervention and treatment planning is guided by long-term biologic and mechanical stability rather than short-term procedural convenience. His clinical interests primarily include: Restorative dentistry and prosthodontics Occlusion and functional diagnosis Treatment planning for worn dentition Adhesive dentistry and material selection Interdisciplinary case management He emphasizes that predictable outcomes are less about isolated technical execution and more about correct sequencing, risk assessment, and biomechanical understanding. This perspective resonates strongly with dentists seeking to transition from "bread-and-butter" dentistry to more comprehensive, high-level care. Education and Teaching Impact Dr. Burton is widely respected for his ability to deconstruct complex topics—such as occlusion, vertical dimension, and full-mouth rehabilitation—into clear, structured frameworks. His teaching is characterized by: A strong emphasis on first principles Clear visual and conceptual models for diagnosis and planning Case-based learning grounded in real-world scenarios A focus on clinical decision-making, not just technique

Generosity is a muscle that must be trained, but in the nonprofit sector, we often wait for donors to find us rather than building the bridges they need to cross. Real progress requires shaking up the status quo and recognizing that philanthropy does not exist in a vacuum; it is complemented by finance, psychology, technology, and tax law. In this conversation, Mallory is joined by Meg George to explore how to move away from "rinse and repeat" fundraising toward a model of sophisticated curiosity. They dive into the necessity of treating major gift solicitation with the rigor of a business plan while maintaining the soulful, emotional connection that drives true generosity. Join them to gain insight into the art of "qualification" through open-ended questioning, the role of leadership in reducing "ask" anxiety, and how to leverage interdisciplinary knowledge to solve social problems at scale. Key takeaways from the episode:  Stop using "rinse and repeat" fundraising manuals and start prioritizing personalized, human-to-human curiosity. Solve problems at scale by bringing experts in finance, psychology, and technology to the fundraising table. View yourself as a facilitator matching a donor's soulful goals with a rock-solid business plan. Use open-ended questions to uncover the perfect intersection of a donor's financial capacity and their personal values.

Davor Vincze | Guest Artist | Hong Kong Baptist University  "Interdisciplinary Performance in Immersive & Interactive Environments"  In this lecture, Vincze explores how contemporary artistic practices move beyond single disciplines to create experiences that are immersive, interactive, and integrative. Drawing on theoretical frameworks by Janet Murray (immersion and the fourth wall), Ronald Rowe (interactive systems), and Julie Thompson Klein (interdisciplinarity), he examines how these concepts operate in practice through three recent projects: Freedom Collective, an immersive and smartphone-interactive music theatre work; manτεία, a multisensory, AI-driven guided exhibition where artworks interact with one another; and On the Other Earth, a large-scale stereoscopic choreographic installation that redefines the boundaries between dance, cinema, sound, and architecture. Together, these case studies show how composers and artists can design environments that balance structure and emergence, agency and framing, inviting audiences not only to observe but to inhabit and co-shape contemporary artworks.  Davor Vincze is a Croatian composer, sound artist, and curator whose work explores the intersections of music, technology, and interdisciplinary performance. His compositions span immersive opera, interactive installation, AI-generated media, and electroacoustic chamber music. He has collaborated with leading ensembles such as Ensemble Modern and JACK Quartet, and his works have been featured at festivals IRCAM and Music Biennale Zagreb, where he currently serves as Artistic Director. A recipient of the 2025 Giga-Hertz Production Award from ZKM Karlsruhe, Vincze is also a postdoctoral researcher at Hong Kong Baptist University, focusing on audience interactivity and the role of machine learning in composition. He studied at Stanford University, IRCAM, and the music universities in Stuttgart and Graz. His artistic language reflects a keen interest in glitch, hybridity, and meta-reality, and collective experience.

In this episode of The Piano Pod, host Yukimi Song sits down with pianist, composer, visual artist, and poet Asiya Korepanova for a wide-ranging conversation on extreme repertoire, transcription as a creative act, long-form artistic commitment, and what it means to think at scale as a musician today.Born into a deeply musical family in Izhevsk, Russia, and now based in the United States, Asiya's career is defined by projects many would consider “impossible”: performing the complete solo piano works of Rachmaninoff during the composer's 150th-anniversary year, Liszt's 24 Études, and Bach's complete Well-Tempered Clavier. In this conversation, Asiya reflects on what draws her to repertoire that unfolds over years rather than hours, and how long-form thinking shapes her artistic identity.A central focus of the episode is Asiya's work as a transcriber. She speaks candidly about transcription as a form of composition—an act she once described as “taming a wild animal”—and how her deep understanding of orchestral, vocal, and chamber music informs the way she reimagines works for solo piano. We hear excerpts from her transcriptions of Mussorgsky's Songs and Dances of Death and Bach's Christmas Oratorio, alongside reflections on craft, risk, and responsibility.The conversation also explores Asiya's work beyond performance: her compositions, her multidisciplinary projects that integrate visual art and poetry, her commitment to education and access through her nonprofit Music for Minds, and her curatorial leadership at Festival Baltimore and Festival Flatiron NYC.This episode offers a rare, unfiltered look into the inner life of an artist whose work is driven not by spectacle, but by depth, rigor, and fearless vision.

This month we were delighted to have a conversation with Vivian Price, a visiting researcher at the University of Helsinki. Presently she is working with Janette Kotivirta, Doctoral researcher in World Politics at University of Helsinki, on a video dialogue project on just transitions. Vivian comes to Helsinki from California State University Dominguez Hills, where she is a Professor in Interdisciplinary, Environmental and Women's Studies. Vivian shares insight with us about her blue-collar work history and long-term experience working to strengthen labour and environmental standards. Prior to earning her doctorate as a non-traditional student, Vivian worked in restaurants, offices, and as a union member in factories, refineries, and construction sites, which served to develop and deepen her understanding of working-class struggles. She has also been an apprenticeship instructor and officer in the International Brother (& Sister) -hood of Electrical Workers, and once a professor, became an officer in the California Faculty Association. Vivian looks at climate justice through the lens of the worker, with the hope of connecting unions, scientists, communities, and environmentalists. This is a fresh perspective and allows us to explore new spaces in the discussion on the impacts of extractivism. Vivian wishes to share a message of solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the US resisting ICE. We support this message and also stand in solidarity.If you would like to learn more about Vivian's work, please check out the links below. Vivian's University Profile https://www.csudh.edu/labor-studies/faculty/vivian-price Feature-length documentariesHammering It Out (2000, 56 min) Distributor, Women Make Movies Description here Transnational Tradeswomen (2006, 56 min) Distributor, Women Make Movies Description hereHarvest of Loneliness (2010, 56 min) Distributor, Film Media Group.

Interdisciplinary performance artist and Xicana feminist scholar Jessica Lopez Lyman joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to talk about Minnesota's history with state violence and local resistance to it, as well as ICE's intensified presence in recent weeks. Lopez Lyman, the author of a new book, Place-Keepers: Latina/x Art, Performance, and Organizing in the Twin Cities, discusses immigration in Minnesota and how the increased ICE presence is affecting immigrant and BIPOC communities. Lopez Lyman speaks about the January 7 death of Renee Nicole Good, a white woman and legal observer who was shot and killed by an ICE officer, and compares the current situation to the time following police officer Derek Chauvin's murder of George Floyd in 2020. She notes the pervasiveness of the harm wrought by ICE's presence throughout Minnesota, a state with a romanticized, pastoral, and sometimes inaccurately homogenous image. She considers the importance of mutual aid, community care, and legal observers, and explains the term “movidas,” which refers to subversive knowledge and “small, hidden actions that are not public protests, that are really foundational for creating larger social movements.” She reads from Place-Keepers.

A Note from James:One of my favorite conversations on this show was with Peter Thiel. Yes—PayPal, Facebook, Palantir, and a dozen other hits. I first ran this episode years ago, and the advice still holds up. The same stories, the same frameworks—and the same challenge to think from first principles. Here's Peter Thiel, one of the most influential entrepreneurs of our time. Episode Description:In this redux, James pressure-tests the core ideas from Peter Thiel's Zero to One—why competition is for losers, how real monopolies are built, and why starting “narrow” is often the only path to something huge. They cover Facebook's early moat (real identity), PayPal's network-effect wedge on eBay, and the “10x or nothing” bar for proprietary technology. Peter shares a contrarian read on bubbles, why biotech's slump may be opportunity, and how to hire, divide roles, and keep teams from fighting. The through-line: seek secrets, combine disciplines, and make something so different that it becomes its own category. What You'll Learn:How to pick markets the Zero to One way: start with a “small, winnable monopoly,” then expand in concentric circles. The four classic moats—and which to favor first: proprietary tech, network effects, economies of scale, and brand (with a bias toward real tech). A practical rule for virality vs. network effects: growth is a tactic; enduring value comes from the network that forms once users arrive. Team design that prevents internal warfare: make roles uniquely owned; if two people own the same thing, you're paying for a fight. How to hunt “secrets”: believe they exist, look where consensus is stale, and borrow from adjacent fields to see what specialists miss. Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] A Note from James — Why this conversation still ranks among the best. [03:00] Zero to One, in one line — “Do something new, different, fresh, strange.” [05:17] Competition vs. Capitalism — Why perfect competition kills profits; aim for uniqueness. [07:28] Facebook's original edge — Real identity as the breakthrough vs. MySpace's alt-persona culture. [09:14] Bits vs. Atoms — Stagnation outside software and how biology could become an information science. [12:05] Personality and perseverance — Why mild contrarian wiring helps founders ignore status games. [15:21] “10x or nothing” — The technology and/or experience must be an order of magnitude better. [17:00] Monopoly thinking, ethically done — Create abundance by creating something truly new. [23:30] The PayPal pre-history — Why long-running trust among teammates births more companies. [30:10] Early Facebook investment logic — College-only looked “small,” which was exactly the point. [32:03] Turning down $1B — The boardroom debate, optionality, and founder conviction. [36:23] Moats in practice — Picking the right advantage (and why brand alone is shaky). [37:06] Network effects ≠ virality — How value compounds after growth. [39:54] PayPal's wedge — eBay power-sellers and the $10 incentive as a growth accelerant. [41:22] Beware the “Chinese refrigerator” TAM slide — Start small, win big. [42:01] Uber vs. Airbnb — Investor bias and why some models get over- or undervalued. [44:18] Bubbles and the public — What changes across tech, housing, and today's “government bubble.” [48:00] War on cash & credit — Why Peter favors unlevered, opaque innovation over fixed income. [51:10] Biotech headwinds (and upside) — Regulation, Eroom's Law, and why sentiment can misprice breakthroughs. [53:50] Secrets — If you assume they exist, you'll be the one to find them. [57:56] Interdisciplinary bets — CS × biology; CS × transportation; why university silos miss the action. [59:51] Silicon Valley on HBO — The “Peter Gregory” caricature and what the show gets right.

In this episode of Shifting Schools, bestselling author Alan Gratz joins Tricia Friedman to explore the craft of storytelling, the role of creativity in education, and why curiosity is the engine behind both great writing and great learning. Gratz shares how baseball has quietly shaped the structure of many of his novels, how he approaches character development with authenticity, and why understanding a character's background is essential for emotional truth. The conversation also digs into the need for interdisciplinary learning in today's classrooms and the value of teacher collaboration. Gratz argues that creativity isn't a mysterious talent—it's a skill that can be nurtured, practiced, and strengthened when schools design learning experiences that cross traditional subject boundaries. Whether you're an educator, writer, or lifelong learner, this episode offers fresh insights into how storytelling helps us understand the human experience and how curiosity fuels both art and education.

What do grasshoppers, prescribed fire, and peer pressure have in common?  In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jason Harmon, the new head of Oklahoma State University's Natural Resource Ecology and Management department, to find out.  From his early days counting insects in Wisconsin to leading research on pollinators and rangelands in North Dakota, Dr. Harmon brings a wide-lens perspective to land management - one that blends ecology, culture, and community. Hosts John Weir, Dr. Laura Goodman, and Dr. Mark Turner chat with Dr. Harmon about everything from cattle grazing and monarch migration to how landowners manage for appearances rather than outcomes.  They also explore how Oklahoma's ecological diversity - and its people - are shaping the future of conservation.  Whether you're passionate about prescribed fire, curious about critters, or just love hearing smart folks talk about working landscapes, this one's for you. Takeaways Dr. Jason Harmon's background blends insect ecology with rangeland research. Cultural perceptions influence landowners' willingness to adopt ecologically diverse pastures. Fire remains an unmatched tool for managing range health and reducing woody encroachment. Oklahoma and North Dakota face different stages of similar land challenges. Pollinators are not just bees-grasslands can host hundreds of native insect species. Milkweed interactions with cattle are species-specific and under-researched. Oklahoma's ecological range-from alligators to bighorn sheep-mirrors the diversity of its management needs. Interdisciplinary collaboration enhances natural resource problem-solving. Prescribed burning is a proactive solution that prevents larger wildfire disasters. OSU's natural resource programs offer versatile career pathways through specialized tracks.

Welcome back, friends, to Your World of Creativity—the podcast where we explore inspiration, innovation, and imagination from around the globe. I'm your host, Mark Stinson, and today we're diving into a fascinating intersection of creativity, consciousness, and cutting-edge technology.My guest is Schuyler Dragoo—an interdisciplinary artist and researcher whose work spans painting, performance, music, video, sculpture, and beyond. But what sets Schuyler apart is her deep inquiry into the intersections of technology, neurodivergence, and nonhuman perception. She's recently completed an MFA at Tufts and an MA in Psychology, bringing together art, science, and strategy in ways that are absolutely captivating.Schuyler's Website @painted.goose on Instagram 1. Art and Awareness Across Species“You explore nonhuman perception and interaction—something most artists never even think about. What first drew you to this idea of creating work that bridges the human and nonhuman experience?”Sensory translation, AI interpretations of animal behavior, or speculative interaction.Examples from her painting, sculpture, or video installations.2. Neurodivergence as a Creative Lens“You've mentioned neurodivergence in your work—not just as a subject, but also as a mode of perception and creativity. How does neurodivergence inform the way you see or create systems, art, and technology?”Non-linear thought, pattern recognition, or how psychology and art intersect in her process.3. From Concept to Code: Building Tools, Not Just Ideas“Unlike many artists, you actually build things—AI bots, automation systems, narrative engines. Can you share an example of a tool you've created that brought together creativity, strategy, and real-world performance?”Her work in performance marketing or AI-driven behavior tools.How does creative strategy function like anthropology?4. Making Systems Feel Human“You've said you approach creative work as a system—and you design systems that feel human. What does that look like in practice? And how do you make sure technology doesn't lose its emotional resonance?”Walkthrough of design thinking + behavioral insightDiscussion on ethics, empathy, and human-centered design.5.
