Trevor Ragan is the founder of The Learner Lab - an educational website designed to unpack and share the science of learning and development. He spends his time with thought leaders and researchers from the worlds of psychology and developmental science, consumes their research, connects the dots, and shares it with anyone that will listen. He's worked with professional, college, and Olympic sports teams, Fortune 50 companies, prisons, and in hundreds of schools across the country. These workshops are designed to help people understand and apply important principles of development, in order to become better, more resilient learners. Trevor had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “Learning is underrated” (6:20). “Learning is a skill. You can't argue with that. It is something that you can get better at” (6:30). “If I'm good at learning, that's going to benefit me in any scenario” (6:50). “You don't have to love a loss. You don't have to love getting rejected. You don't have to love getting cut. But we can appreciate that within those setbacks, there are opportunities” (18:10). “I look at learning as a treasure hunt. If I get to learn a new a topic, I get really excited” (22:35). “We live in the best time ever for learning right now” (23:15). “Curiosity is super underrated” (26:10). “Listening is a skill. Can you get better at listening? Yes” (31:15). “The machinery in our brains that controls learning is plastic. Every time we choose to be intentional about a new skill and practice it, try to build it, yes we're going to get better at that skill, but we're also becoming a better learner in the process” (32:55). “At its core, growth mindset is the belief that I can change and grow and get better at stuff… That idea should be taught to anybody anywhere” (36:25). “The mindset of the leader is more important than we realized” (38:00). “A growth mindset is a belief in our capacity to change, it has nothing to do with how we feel” (39:05). “We can all change. We can all get better at stuff. That's the magic of being human. That's the magic of our brain” (43:10). “There are differences on the surface we see between people. We think it's generational, but more times than not it's something else” (49:40). “I'm going to [create content in the way] I would like to consume it, and I'm going to talk about the topics that are interesting to me. And if I do it in a way that I would like it and I would be interested, I think that's good enough” (58:50). “Play with the right scoreboard. What's the game you're trying to win here?” (1:04:15) “Make stuff that you think is cool” (1:04:25). “[I'm most curious about] storytelling [right now]” (1:08:30). “[Cold calling] is going to work more times than you think” (1:14:45). “You're never going to completely turn [fear] off” (1:17:15). “When you care about something that involves uncertainty, you're probably going to feel something” (1:18:10). “People can perform well and not feel great. You can perform well and feel nervous. You can feel well and perform crappy” (1:19:00).

Welcome to Season 7! It's been awhile since we've been able to get together around the microphones, but we are excited to dive into more conversations with you. Matt kicks off the new season by sharing a recent podcast episode that got him thinking deeply about the importance of reflection, and the surprising power of reflection for solidifying our understanding and learning. This prompted us to do a little shared reflection on the things we experienced and learned this summer, and we even get a little personal with the new things we are finding in this season of newness. These personal reflections further prompted us to reflect together about our development as teachers over the years and how seasons of newness often are opportunities for growth. We hope that listening in might prompt some reflection of your own, and some collegial conversations you might have about your personal and professional development. The podcast Matt referenced in this episode is called The Learner Lab, and the specific episode that got him thinking about the importance of reflection was this one, entitled “The Surprising Power of Reflection.” You can listen to it here: https://thelearnerlab.com/the-surprising-power-of-reflection-giada-di-stefano/

We've probably all had moments at a job when it was assumed that we could learn and grow through means that actually don't work. An unsafe work environment, telling ourselves to "calm down!" in situations that are uber stressful, feeling like we need to understand certain skills that we haven't practiced yet, and then feeling less-than when we can't..... yeah. Know what we mean? On this electric episode, we met up with Trevor Ragan, the creator of Learner Lab. Trev and Moe did a deep dive into the science of learning, and how it correlates with work environments. Validation, the difference between knowledge and skills, sitting in discomfort when we aren't great at a skill yet, and other essential habits needed about learning in the workplace.

Today on the podcast, I am joined by author, podcast host, founder of Train Ugly and the Learner Lab; my friend and fellow lifelong student, Trevor Ragan! Working with best selling authors, Olympic coaches, professional athletes, renowned professors, and thousands of coaches, teachers, students, and players from all over the world, Trevor is (in his words) “On an adventure to understand the science of how to become a better learner”. Due to his years and years of research, boots-on-the-ground, and behind-the-scenes, Trevor has a special ability to dissect and synthesize really complicated concepts and research into exercises and ideas that you and I can implement. He's a man of science and great insight beyond his years. In this episode, we get deep into the topic of fixed vs. growth mindset, how to run towards fear, and how your beliefs ABOUT your emotions actually shape your experience. He shares stories of middle school “anti-talent shows”, talks about the need for psychological safety in teams, and even opens up about being diagnosed with cancer. When I first started my podcast, my husband told me, “interview people that you want to learn from”, and Trevor was high on my list. If you hear the scratch of my pencil in the background, It's because I was scribbling notes the entire time. Follow Trevor: Website : https://trainugly.com/trevor-ragan/ Audiobook : https://thelearnerlab.com/learner-the-audiobook/ Blog, Cancer: Lessons Learned : https://thelearnerlab.com/cancer-lessons-learned/ The Learner Lab Podcast: https://thelearnerlab.com/podcast/ Here's a glance at this episode: [4:41] Trevor talks about how he got here; from creating basketball programs, to creating programs for prisons. Lindsey and Trevor discuss the learning curve for new mindset coaches, failing on a public stage, and what Dave Chappelle has to do with it. [12:01] Starting with the quote, “If you want to change a behavior, attack it at the mindet and environment, not just the behavior” Trevor explains how he (personally) runs toward fear. He also talks about the science of stress, and gives tips to help you shift the way you think about stress and other “negative” emotions. [16:41] Struggle feeds a fixed mindset. But if you can start to see stress as physical preparation and a necessary part of growth, you can build a growth mindset and increase your capacity for discomfort.. [22:11] How does your understanding of nerves affect your experience? Trevor points out the problem with toxic positivity, and explains in great detail how you can make room and process difficult human emotions. [24:54] Psychological safety is “The feeling that I can be myself, take risks, and ask questions”. It's also the key to great teams (and the science backs it up). When you don't feel psychologically safe in a group, the learning centers of your brain shut down, and you're less likely to engage in learning behaviors. [29:58] What can a middle school “anti-talent show” teach us about psychological safety? Trevor shares his experience to illustrate his belief that modeling behaviors of vulnerability and bravery and failure builds safety. [33:03] Trevor talks about his audiobook (linked above) which includes guest voices and sound effects to give the listener an immersive learning experience. [38:21] We all want to be the best, right? But Trevor asks the question, “Do you really need to be a master at something for it to have a massive effect on others?” Trevor makes his case for settling for “B+ work” and talks about how he uses storytelling as a cornerstone of teaching. [44:55] Trevor speaks vulnerably about what it was like to be diagnosed with cancer and what he learned during and after the experience. [52:16] Lindsey and Trevor wrap up their episode with actionable ways to grow your mindset and be more intentional about learning. Trevor believes in creating small, sustainable routines to create long-term change and growth.

Today we spoke with Anne-Laure Le Cunff - Entrepreneur and Founder of Ness Labs, PhD Neuroscience student - and ex-Googler. Anne-Laure worked at Google, promoting digital health products, and is now back in school studying the brain; she is a PhD researcher at King's College London investigating how different brains learn differently, with a focus on supporting neurodiversity in online learning. She is the founder of Ness Labs, a little corner of the Internet where ambitious and curious minds come together to achieve their goals without sacrificing their mental health. It's packed with content, a thriving community, and coaching based on the science of learning, creativity, and productivity. Her very popular newsletter has highly practical content at the intersection of neuroscience, entrepreneurship, and education; we both are subscribers! Some of the topics include cognitive biases, mental models, learning how to learn, mindful productivity, and mental health at work. Reminds us of Trever Ragan of The Learner Lab, episode #64. Today we spoke about her journey from Google to Ness Labs and Kings, burnout - and what she does now for her own self care.

Today in the Book Lounge, Tom & Karin discuss the book Mindset with special guest Trevor Ragan. Each week Book Insights creator and author of The 50 Classics Series Tom Butler-Bowdon and Memo'd Program Manager Karin Richey invite you to join their fun and casual conversation about the book of the week. Hear what they love it about, what they don't, how they rate it, and how it can advance your work and life. You'll learn why it was selected to be part of the curated list of Book Insights, and what's new with the book or the author currently. This week, Tom and Karin offer you insight on: *What Growth and Fixed Mindsets are, and the fluid nature of both. How we all can encompass each of the mindsets at different times, situations and as they relate to particular skills. *The risk of praising outcomes rather than efforts and how to foster Growth Mindset in yourself, your students, children, employees or those around you. *How Trevor Ragan has used Growth Mindset when consulting with everyone from MLB coaches to CEOs to kindergarten students.

SNL has a hilarious sketch that perfectly illustrates what can happen when we get stuck in a Fixed Mindset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o_rwJwqkDc What is the difference between Book Insights episodes and Book Lounge episodes? Book Insights are formal, structured summary, analysis and exploration of a bestselling nonfiction book. Each episode is read by a professional voice actor and will introduce a new title selected specifically for its value to your work and life. Book Lounge episodes are casual discussions about the book, the author, and anything else that comes along through the course of conversation. It's more of a broad chat about how the book relates to current, everyday life. Should I listen to both the Book Insight and the Book Lounge episode on the same book? Sure! Each episode works fine as a standalone piece, so no requirement to listen to both or to listen in any particular order, but we definitely recommend (and think you'll enjoy!) both. Think of it like reading a book and liking it so much you want to chat about it on the porch with a friend. That is the vibe at the Book Lounge. Like what you hear?

Jon Newman-Gonchar is the head volleyball coach at University of New Mexico. In April 2020, he called in to talk with Summer and Cody about the new challenges facing higher education and athletics. Jon's watershed moment was on March 17th when a recruiting trip was cancelled and UNM's Spring Break was extended. "The next thing we knew, it was all moving online."He's missing his players, missing his staff, and missing the routine that used to come with the seasonal nature of college sports. As information was constantly changing, Jon had to navigate competing stories and plans while trying to be the best source of knowledge for his players. "There are so many more questions than there are answers right now." He believes that, "The best thing we can be is vulnerable."In trying to plan for supporting his athletes, Jon was dedicated to doing what was best for the students. He and his coaching staff developed a virtual structure for the team. "I didn't want them to lose touch with academics." Volleyball players committed to doing course work during the time their classes used to be scheduled. The team also met regularly virtually to discuss topics like public speaking, high-pressure situation, and other student-selected conversations. When Jon thinks about the future, he hopes his son will have a traditional kindergarten experience, and that his future volleyball players will have the quintessential first years of college. He's fearful of the unknown and unsure of what to expect. His players are used to him saying regularly, "That's just part of the deal" when things go poorly. This mantra has helped his team to roll with the punches in Spring 2020. "Let's get better with people."
