Why are we teaching kids to use tech instead of change the world with it with Natalie Moore (#344)

Are we teaching young people to consume technology - or to change the world with it?In this episode, Ben and Steve sit down with Natalie Moore, CEO of Apps for Good, to explore what it really means to put young people in the driving seat of their own learning - and their own futures. From a council estate in East London to the London 2012 Olympics, and now leading one of the UK's most impactful edtech charities, Natalie brings a grounded, honest perspective on what education could look like when we trust young people to solve the problems that matter to them.Natalie is CEO of Apps for Good, a UK education technology charity that helps young people tackle real-world problems and build meaningful tech solutions. With 13 years at the organisation - and the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Organising Committee on her CV - she brings rare insight into impact-driven education, digital skills, and what it genuinely means to do good.In this episode we cover:- Why Apps for Good was born out of work tackling digital exclusion in Brazilian favelas and what that means for UK classrooms today- How AI is reshaping the Apps for Good curriculum, including a new "vibe coding" pathway and what responsible AI literacy looks like for young people- The philosophy behind "apps for good" - why agency, purpose, and real-world relevance are more powerful than any curriculum mandate- How project-based learning engages the students most likely to be switched off, including girls in STEM and young people from underrepresented backgrounds- The annual Apps for Good Showcase - a Dragon's Den-style pitch event reviewed by volunteers from Google, Spotify, Sony and more- Real impact stories: from a cattle management app built by Scottish farming kids to alumni now working at the Lego Group and SonyIf you work in education, edtech, or youth development and you're wondering how to make technology genuinely meaningful - not just functional - for young people, this episode is essential. Natalie cuts through the AI hype to get at something deeper: what happens when young people aren't just users of technology, but creators solving problems they actually care about. Whether you're a teacher, school leader, or organisation trying to have real impact, this conversation will challenge you and inspire you in equal measure.Chapters00:00 – Welcome & introductions01:44 – Natalie's background04:58 – How Apps for Good came about and what it does10:14 – Moving young people from consumers to creators12:26 – Has AI changed everything or just the tools?15:02 – Vibe coding, AI literacy, and the new curriculum pathway17:29 – What does "for good" actually mean?20:28 – Reaching underrepresented young people and the challenge of scale24:40 – Agency in the classroom: do students really want to be spoon-fed?29:03 – Critical thinking, AI bias, and why young people need both32:58 – What is project-based learning and why does it work?35:57 – Impact data: skills, confidence, and alumni stories41:03 – The Apps for Good Annual Showcase43:13 – Quickfire QuestionsVoting for the People's Choice Award will open on Monday, 15th June.

In ep 173 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Rachel Capell joins Sam and Mark to talk about how past tense as present tense can throw you, working out where your script sits within the final narration and the fine line which means you can't leave a documentary on a sad note. We ask when is a script set in the future NOT futuristic and work out how to be wistful and informative at the same time.Our fun facts this week are about avoiding claustrophobia, being naked, tiles that fall off the wall, and kids at weddings!Our VO question this week is all about whether having a niche style is good for your career.Get involved! Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.ukScript 1After one last look around the yacht, Her Majesty disembarked for the very last time. All the clocks on board were stopped at 3:01, the exact time she left the yacht.It is one of the few times Queen Elizabeth has broken her composure. Shedding a tear at the ceremony, she said goodbye to her floating palace, to her sanctuary.The Royal Yacht Britannia made its final journey. In Leith, Edinburgh, the Britannia opened its doors to the public.Script 2There's a pulse near the sea, like the waves breathing on the shore.When I was little, the beach looked very different.T'was wider and tides went out much further.I'd grab the old snorkeling gear, dive in and just lie on the surface, looking down on the fields of grass, watching billowing seaweeds, shoals of mackerel and kelp …I'd be there what felt like hours.There were cuttlefish, rays, kevelings and spider havilers.And the colours, all these pinks, golds and blues…We'd love your feedback - and if you listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, hit the follow button today!**Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube, or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"About our guest: Rachel Capell is a multi-award nominated voiceover artist with a rich performance background and a serious love for storytelling. Rachel started out singing in pubs at 16, studied Theatre at both undergraduate and masters level, and performed across small-scale theatre before stepping behind the mic. There was a 15-year “interlude” producing large-scale cultural events, but the call of the voice booth proved too strong.

Whether it's commercial, corporate, healthcare, or characters for gaming and animation, Rachel's delivery is authentic, compelling, and utterly human.

In this episode of BRAVE COMMERCE, Rachel Tipograph and Sarah Hofstetter speak with Jennifer Berry, VP of Our LEGO Agency, Commerce & Digital at The LEGO Group. Jennifer shares how LEGO is rethinking its operating model—bringing creativity, commerce, and retail together under one in-house agency to deliver more connected, audience-first experiences.They explore why consumers don't see channels the way organizations do, how LEGO is designing seamless ecosystems across DTC, retail partners, and physical experiences, and what it takes to balance long-term brand building with real-time cultural relevance. From immersive retail to evolving PDPs and the role of AI in freeing teams to focus on higher-impact creative work, the conversation shows how leading brands are operating in a world where brand and transaction moments are no longer separate.Key takeawaysMost organizations are still structured around channels, but consumers aren't. That gap is where performance is lost.Growth comes from orchestrating brand, media, and retail into a single performance ecosystem.The immediate role of AI isn't to replace creativity—it's to streamline processes so more time can be spent on creative and high-impact work.

Mattering…in Retirement – Jennifer Breheny Wallace

________________________ Get started in April on your most important project. Learn more here _________________________ Retirement planning focuses heavily on finances — investments, Social Security, and risks. But there's another question that often sneaks up on people once the career chapter closes: Do I still matter? Our guest today has spent years researching one of the most powerful psychological needs we have as human beings — the need to feel valued and to add value. Jennifer Breheny Wallace is an award-winning journalist and author of the new book Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose. Her work explores how feeling significant, appreciated, invested in, and depended on shapes our well-being throughout life. And her insights have important implications for retirement. Because when work ends, many people lose one of the primary places where they knew they mattered — where their contributions were visible, valued, and relied upon. In this conversation, we explore:        • Why the need to matter doesn't diminish with age       • How retirees can build what Jennifer calls a “mattering portfolio”       • The surprising research on relationships and resilience       • Practical daily actions that restore a sense of meaning and contribution If you're thinking about retirement — or already there — this conversation may change how you think about purpose, connection, and belonging in the next chapter. _________________________ Bio Jennifer Breheny Wallace is the author of Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose.  She is an award-winning journalist and bestselling author whose work explores the power of mattering in our everyday lives. Through research and storytelling, Wallace examines the hidden forces shaping modern life, from the crisis of meaning in achievement culture to the essential role of mattering in personal, workplace, and societal health.  Her first book, Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic — And What We Can Do About It, was a New York Times Bestseller, an Amazon Best Book of the Year, and a Next Big Idea selection. Wallace is the founder of The Mattering Institute, whose mission is to create cultures of mattering in workplaces and communities, and co-founder of The Mattering Movement, a nonprofit whose mission is to create cultures of mattering in K-12 schools. Wallace has partnered with The LEGO Group on its global Play Unstoppable campaign to address perfectionism and grow confidence through play. She has also consulted with Calm wellness app, Netflix, and is a BCG  BrightHouse Luminary. She serves on the University of Michigan’s Well-being Collective Advisory Council, and the Advisory Board for Making Caring Common, a project of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Wallace is a Journalism Fellow at The Center for Parent and Teen Communication at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. After graduating from Harvard College, Wallace was a journalist for CBS “60 Minutes” and was part of the team that won The Robert F. Kennedy Awards for Excellence in Journalism. She is a contributor to The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post and frequently appears on national television programs to discuss her work. Wallace serves on the board of the Coalition for the Homeless in New York City, where she lives with her husband and their three children. ___________________________ For More on Jennifer Breheny Wallace Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose by Jennifer Breheny Wallace Website ___________________________ Mentioned in This Retirement Podcast  The Retirement Crisis No One Warns You About: Mattering – The Wall Street Journal Video: Taylor Mali (What Do You Make?) ____________________________ Your choices shaped your career. But when retirement approaches, a new design challenge appears. Not a financial one. A life design challenge. What will your days look like? What will energize you?  What might the next five years become? In the Designing Your New Life in Retirement program, you’ll step back from the fray and apply design thinking to those questions, with a bias for action. Learn more here.

This podcast is different. You'll get smarter about the investment decisions you'll make about the most important asset you'll have in retirement: your time. About Retirement Wisdom I help people who are retiring, but aren't quite done yet, discover what's next and build their custom version of their next life. A meaningful retirement doesn't just happen by accident. Schedule a call today to discuss how the Designing Your Life process created by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans can help you make your life in retirement a great one — on your own terms. About Your Podcast Host Joe Casey is an executive coach who helps people design their next life after their primary career and create their version of The Multipurpose Retirement.™ He created his own next chapter after a 26-year career at Merrill Lynch, where he was Senior Vice President and Head of HR for Global Markets & Investment Banking. Joe has earned Master's degrees from the University of Southern California in Gerontology (at age 60), the University of Pennsylvania, and Middlesex University (UK), a BA in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and his coaching certification from Columbia University. In addition to his work with clients, Joe hosts The Retirement Wisdom Podcast, ranked in the top 1% globally in popularity by Listen Notes, with over 1.6 million downloads. Business Insider recognized Joe as one of 23 innovative coaches who are making a difference. He's the author of Win the Retirement Game: How to Outsmart the 9 Forces Trying to Steal Your Joy. ______________________________ Wise Quotes On Adding Value “I found this very common thread among the hundreds of people that I interviewed who, when they were going through a life transition—if it was retirement or grief, getting divorced, all these things—what they did over and over again was that they found new ways to add value. And so they would look for what I call in the book a genuine need in the world. And then they would use either their time or their talents or their treasure to meet those needs. It's kind of a handy formula for finding purpose.” On Your Mattering Portfolio “Plan your retirement social portfolio—your mattering portfolio—as carefully as you plan your financial portfolio…You are only one decision, one action away from getting back on that path to mattering.”

Boston has been a creative powerhouse for decades.
