Podcast appearances and mentions of Ron Hall

Denver Moore lebt seit über 30 Jahren auf der Straße in Fort Worth, Texas. Er wuchs unter den Jim-Crow-Gesetzen in den Südstaaten auf und arbeitete ohne Lohn auf einer Baumwollplantage. In den 90er Jahren meidet er andere Menschen. In einer Obdachlosenmission lernt er das Ehepaar Hall kennen. Ron und Debbie Hall arbeiten ehrenamtlich in der Küche der Mission. Als Debbie Denver zum ersten Mal sieht, hat sie eine ungewöhnliche Bitte an ihren Ehemann: Er soll sich mit Denver anfreunden. Was als eine Geste der Liebe zu seiner Frau beginnt, entwickelt sich zu einer tiefen und lebensverändernden Freundschaft. Ron erkennt schnell, dass Denver ihm viel mehr zu bieten hat, als er zunächst dachte. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über die unwahrscheinliche Freundschaft zwischen zwei Männern aus völlig unterschiedlichen Welten und beleuchten das große gesellschaftliche Problem der Obdachlosigkeit. Wenn ihr euch engagieren möchtet, informiert euch zum Beispiel über diese Hilfsprojekte für obdachlose Menschen: - Kältehilfe und mobile Suppenküchen in eurer Stadt - Das [Rote Kreuz](https://www.drk.de/spenden/spendenshop/spenden-fuer-obdachlose/) sammelt Spenden für Obdachlose - In Hamburg bietet der Duschbus GoBanyo obdachlosen Menschen ein mobiles Badezimmer.

Today on Small Changes Big Shifts we have Ron Hall. Ron is the author of “SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME.” Now turned into a movie, it is the story of an international art dealer Ron Hall (Greg Kinnear) who must befriend a dangerous homeless man (Djimon Hounsou) in order to save his struggling marriage to his wife (Renée Zellweger), a woman whose dreams will lead all three of them on the most remarkable journey of their lives. Jon Voight plays Hall's father, with whom he reconciles thanks to the revelations of his new life. Ron Hall's life was centered around a successful career as an international art dealer and a passion for his Rocky Top ranch on the Brazos River. All this changed in 1998 as a result of an encounter with a homeless man who was threatening to kill everyone in sight in the homeless shelter where Ron and his wife Deborah had begun to volunteer two weeks earlier. This life-changing encounter, featured on many television and radio shows, inspired Ron to write his first book SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME, a story of hope and redemption. The word-of-mouth hit became a New York Times platinum bestseller and stayed on the list for more than three and one-half years. In 2007, President Bush appointed Ron to the State Department Cultural Property Committee to advise the President on diplomatic matters regarding international art and antiquities. He served through December 2011. Ron is a screenwriter and producer of the movie version of his book SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME. It was released in theaters across America by Paramount Pictures February 3, 2017. He also published SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME, Children's Version, also known as EVERYBODY CAN HELP SOMEBODY. Ron and his wife Beth reside in Dallas where they direct the Same Kind of Different as Me Foundation. into achieving better sleep and overall well-being.

Enthusiasm is common. Endurance is rare.” ― Angela Duckworth On today's Episode #286 we will cover: ✔ A review of EP126 on building resilience (what we covered back in April 2021). ✔ A deeper look at what resilience is, with an evidence-based strategy we can all use TODAY if we are ready, to build up our own reservoirs of resiliency to better handle our life and work stressors. ✔ Tools for Measuring Resiliency. ✔ Checks for Resiliency. ✔ A Resiliency Challenge at the End to See if We Can All Push Ourselves to Try Something New to Build Resilience, Grit, Mental Toughness, and Our Ability to Use Our Head When We Need it the Most. I needed to write this episode this week because it was just in time for me to try something new to build up my own levels of resiliency!! I hope you enjoy these ideas. And with that introduction, I want to welcome you back to Season 9 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we cover the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (for schools) and emotional intelligence training (in the workplace) with tools, ideas and strategies that we can all use for immediate results, with our brain in mind.  I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast to share how the understanding of our complex brain transfers into our everyday life and results. Each concept we cover here I'm hoping will help you, wherever you might be listening to this podcast in the world, just as much as these ideas are helping me personally and professionally. For today's episode #286, we're staying in line with our season theme of “Going Back to the Basics to Build a Stronger, More Resilient 2.0 Version of Ourselves” which was an intention I set at the very start of the year on EP268[i] where we talked about prioritizing mental health in 2023 with a focus on self-awareness and resiliency. A Review of Horacio Sanchez's Definition of Resiliency: This topic goes back with our interview with Horacio Sanchez who I was just speaking about this week because he was presenting at a Science of Reading Event, and many of us were talking about where our understanding of the brain and learning first began, with Horacio's work at the center. He was introduced to me in our very FIRST interview EP3[ii] with Ron Hall from Valley Day School who shared that his connection of the brain and learning first began with Horacio years ago, while attending a conference where he was conducting a training session. When we spoke with Horacio on EP74[iii] he explained resiliency as “a collection of protective risk factors that you have in your life” and that there are some factors we are born with, and others come in through childhood, family, school, life events and social experiences. Horacio reminds us that “if you have little risk, it takes less to be resilient. But—if you have a lot of risk, it takes a lot more protective factors to offset the scale.”  This is why two people can possibly respond in two completely different ways after a traumatic experience. One person walks away, dusts themselves off, and recovers quickly, (they had more reservoirs of resilience to tap into) while the other has a completely different outcome, and needs more assistance to get back on track. With resiliency, we can overcome adversity or difficulty and have good outcomes in our life, but you can see why not everyone is born with exactly the same protective factors needed, so we don't all have the same levels of resiliency. Horacio mentioned that “25% of the population are naturally resilient” and his work focuses on instilling this trait in those who are not naturally resilient due to the number of risk factors associated to them. To this day, he continues with this work, flying around the country, helping our next generation of students to become more resilient. While researching for this episode, I wondered what I could add to help us to all become more resilient in addition to Horacio's work. I looked at what Dr. Andrew Huberman had to say about resiliency with his most recent episode with a retired Navy Seals officer and author of multiple books on effective leadership, team-work, self-discipline and mindset, Jocko Willink.[iv]  I listened this episode that covered a wide variety of topics, and they got into a discussion of building resilience by doing something that makes them uncomfortable every week. Something like a cold water plunge where you'd rather be sleeping in your warm bed, than doing something that Dr. Huberman would say was uncomfortable, or “like a splinter.” Retired Navy Seals Officer Jocko Willick said that “You develop your legs by doing squats, and you develop resiliency by doing things that make you tougher” but on today's episode, I want us to think deeply about this because there's more to building resiliency than just doing what makes us stronger and tougher. What makes YOU tougher, might not make me tougher, (if we think about Horacio's work on resiliency and how we are all different with these risk factors). If we are truly going to build resilience, we have to be prepared to try new things that push us past where we have been before and each person will have different thresholds and experiences. MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: Remember that I am not a medical doctor, and that if you are going to try anything new, to always consult a medical doctor first. Today I will share ideas and strategies that I have used myself, while looking at what the most current research says, but will always remind listeners to never try anything new without first consulting your own doctor. This leads me to look closer at cold immersion[v], an evidence-based strategy that has been shown to build resilience to stress, reduce pain in the body, improve circulation, stimulate weight loss and decrease fatigue, but over time, the research shows that your body becomes “habituated” to this practice. As for the proper dosing for this strategy, I know that Dr. Andrew Huberman suggests “progressing gradually”[vi] while Dr. Mike Tipton, a professor of human and applied physiology at the University of Portsmouth in the UK who studies the body's reaction to extreme environments, adds that “researchers still don't know the best way to reap the mental health benefits of cold water, or the minimum dose required” and says that “a little bit is good for you, but too much is not.”[vii] While writing this episode, I had to think about what I do to build resilience. I always thought that exercise was my solution to every problem, but if I think about it, these runs thought the beautiful mountain tops in Arizona are NOT like a “splinter” for me, like Dr. Huberman's mentioned. I know exercise is making me physically stronger, improving my mental health, (and solving all the other problems we know exercise solves) but now I wonder, am I doing anything on a weekly basis that makes me tougher, challenging my mind to overcome daily stress? Not according to Dr. Huberman's definition. What is like a splinter for me to do? Am I really doing something I'd rather not be doing every week? There might have been a time when waking up early to exercise was a “splinter” or maybe most days in the winter here, it's not easy to leave a warm bed when it's 40 or 50 degrees outside, so I can see where exercise could possibly help to build a stronger, more resilient version of myself. ARE YOU BUILDING YOUR RESILIENCY MUSCLES? What about you? What is your splinter that builds your capacity (mentally and physically)? If we don't think about this one, we could fall into the trap of thinking we are building resilience when we really aren't. Or getting comfortable with what might have worked in the past, and not trying anything new. This made me think back to having my brain scanned at Dr. Amen's Clinics and I had my review of the scan with Dr. Shane Creado, on EP 84.[viii] I remember that while he mentioned some areas of improvement, he did notice that my resilience levels were higher than many of the elite athletes that he's tested, and I wondered where this came from. The only thing I've done consistently over the years that at times has felt challenging is with health (exercise, nutrition). It was evident with this brain scan that my sleep has always been a weak link but doing certain things the right way has got me this far.  Now I wonder, what else could I do to build a stronger, more resilient version of myself?   Deliberate Cold Exposure to Build Resiliency and Mental Toughness Then I thought back to when Dr. Huberman suggested deliberate cold exposure[ix] as a protocol to build mental and physical resilience, and wondered why I hadn't tried it yet.  Cold exposure isn't something that I'm excited about (living in Arizona, my friends from snowy climates joke with me when I tell them “it's freezing here” in the desert in the winter, and I get this skeptical look that it can't be as cold as where they are. What caught my attention on Dr. Huberman's Using Deliberate Cold Exposure for Health and Performance[x] episode was that he said this practice “systematically builds up resilience.” He went on to say that “it's an opportunity to deliberately stress our body and because it's deliberate we can learn to maintain mental clarity, we can learn to maintain mental calm, while our body is in a state of stress.” This is exactly what I was looking for, but of course I listened to this episode when it first came out over a year ago, and thought “there's no way I'm ever doing that” until today, when I started DAY 1 of deliberate cold exposure, to see if I notice a difference with my ability to better handle daily stress. Dr. Huberman explains the science behind this example extremely well, by saying that when we feel stressed in life (with our work, our relationship, or anything else that comes across our phones that in the moment makes us want to react in a way that we know we shouldn't) that norepinephrine and epinephrine build up in the body. This is similar to what happens to our body when we deliberately expose it to cold (whether through a shower, immersion, or from going outside into the cold). He says that this systematically builds up our resilience. So of course, I'm taking notes about how to implement this and this morning I took my first ever cold shower using Dr. Huberman's protocol. Have you tried deliberate cold exposure? Did you notice any benefits? I followed these steps that he suggested for a shower: STEP 1: Pick a temperature that's uncomfortable. STEP 2: Get in for a certain duration of time (start with 1 minute and work your way up to 3 minutes). STEP 3: Get out. How Does This Build Resiliency? Remember, this experience has got to be like a “splinter” to build resiliency, and you will release those 2 chemicals (epinephrine and norepinephrine) that are the same chemicals that flood your brain and body during stress. The longer you can function with a clear mind with these chemicals flooding your brain, the more resilient to stress you will become. This is how resilience is built. I thought this was brilliant, and it got even better when he went on to explain how he pushes himself to stay in the cold longer, building up more resilience. He said that he “visualizes walls” so just getting into the shower is WALL 1. Then he feels ok until he thinks, “ok, it's time to get out” and if he can stay in, let's say go past minute 1 to minute 2, he's got over WALL 2. Then he visualizes WALL 3 off in the distance, and when arrives at that wall, he begins to use his interoceptive awareness and think about how he's really feeling. Can he stay in longer? Can he think clearly? Could he stay in 10 more seconds? If he can, he's jumped over another wall, and is standing at WALL 4. At the point where he's numb, and can do nothing else, he gets out, and knows he pushed it hard with this exercise. I thought it was such a great example that I tried it myself, and was able to get to WALL 1 (getting into a cold shower), WALL 2 (pushed myself past 1 minutes and 30 seconds to 3 minutes) and WALL 3 (thought about how I felt, and how clearly I could think). This was enough for DAY 1, but this is going to be something I do at least 3 times a week moving forward. Other Ways to Build Resiliency? Another example I can think of would be strength training (and particular pushing past 20 reps to 25). My trainer used to always tell me to cheat when I'm working out on my own. He'd never let me get away with this.  Now I know now that this is what builds my capacity for mental/physical resilience. It's definitely a splinter for me, but YOU might love pushing past reps when you're tired, while I dread it.  This is just like you might dread running up and down a mountain, while I love it. We will all be different here. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION: To review and conclude this week's EPISODE on a Deeper Dive into Building Resiliency, I challenge you to look at what you are doing, and see if you can identify where your “splinters” are. If you think you might be getting used to your workouts, and that they bring you joy (like they do for me) it's time to think hard about NEW ways you can build up your capacity for more resilience. Since we started the year with the goal to build a stronger, more resilient version of ourselves, the key to doing this is to build our immune system up by being able to better manage our levels of stress. My hope for all of us is that as we face our challenges on a daily basis, that we push ourselves always to reach new heights that are greater than where we were yesterday. I'll close out with a quote from Lee Ann Womack, “I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
. Never settle for the path of least resistance”― Lee Ann Womack, I Hope You Dance Keep your eye on overcoming challenge, and you'll be a stronger, more resilient version of yourself by the end of the year. See you next week!

“The brain has a capacity for learning that is virtually limitless, which makes every human being a potential genius.” Michael J. Golb I want to welcome you back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast where we bridge the gap between theory and practice, with strategies, tools and ideas we can all use immediately, applied to the most current brain research to heighten productivity in our schools, sports environments and modern workplaces. I'm Andrea Samadi and launched this podcast almost 4 years ago, to share how important an understanding of our brain is for our everyday life and results.  For today's episode #276, we will go back to one of our early episodes, #119[i] on “The Key Ingredients of Learning with the Brain in Mind” and take a look at what I picked out as the key ingredients for learning back then, to see how NEW research has informed this area today. When I went back to review this episode, there were some ingredients in this “learning” equation that we've talked about often on this podcast, and the new research I found was eye-opening. The new research took what we covered so beautifully on those early episodes, to a whole new level, showing me why it's important to go back to the basics and see what strategies are effective, and why. Before we get to what's NEW, let's look back at where our podcast began, and what we were focused on, with learning with our brain in mind. Learning with the Brain in Mind We can go right back to our very first interview EPISODE #3[ii] with Ron Hall, from Valley Day School, who mentioned how things changed for him when he met Horacio Sanchez and began teaching with brain science in mind. This is the whole reason why we are going back to the basics this season, as we connect the new research to our past episodes, to strengthen where we all are in our process of building a stronger, more resilient 2.0 version of ourselves in 2023 and beyond. It's always easy to look back, and connect the dots[iii] like Steve Jobs' famous quote, and trust that these dots will connect again in the future, with new meaning that's evolved with time, knowledge and understanding. John Hattie's Research: As I glanced at our earlier interviews, Greg Wolcott from EPISODE #7 on “Building Relationships in Today's Classrooms” was our next guest in this learning equation, as he was the first guest to mention that his work and book, Significant 72[iv], was inspired by New Zealand Professor John Hattie.  John Hattie became known for his two books Visible Learning and Visible Learning for Educators that focused on teaching strategies that have a high probability of being effective. You can read directly from John Hattie himself, as he connects his dots looking backwards, where he says he believes he got some parts wrong with his approach to learning in the classroom.  He shares he'd like to stop looking at the strategies teachers are using and look closer at the impact we have on our students and how they learn best when he reflects that “we need to switch from saying (I care about how you teach), to saying (I care about the impact of your teaching).”[v]  Hattie goes on to talk about the criticism he faced with the term “visible learning” because learning isn't visible at all. As John Hattie now prepares to release Visible Learning: The Sequel[vi] this March, 15 years after his first book that sold out in days of its release and was described as “teaching's Holy Grail” he's returning to his ground-breaking work, with a new angle. Like the direction we are taking with this podcast, going back to the basics, this is what Professor John Hattie is doing with his next book where he not only looks at WHAT works best with learning, as he shares the research is his new that is now informed by more than 2,100 meta-analyses (more than double that appeared in his first book, drawn from more than 130,000 studies, and has involved more than 400 million students from all around the world. He then asks “WHY” did these strategies work so well, with some thoughts of how we can improve learning, using current and future research. I remember back to my early days of teaching when we were observed by our school principal, and given feedback for how effective our lessons were. I remember thinking this process was such a waste of time as the students were behaving differently knowing their teacher was being evaluated. I knew that there wasn't much learning happening other than finding a way to beat the system to have my students behave in this artificial environment. True learning, Hattie points out, happens when a teacher has to adapt a lesson, as they notice the students who might be missing the point, and need a new way to learn. Hattie noticed:   Professor John Hattie[vii] take this new knowledge and tells us that Australia has now gone with a new method of observation where they “ask expert teachers to consider a lesson they are planning to deliver, and then record themselves talking through their planning. Then the lesson is filmed. The expert teacher then records themselves again, explaining the decisions they made in the moment. The two recordings are then layered over the video. This allows those who watch the videos to hear what the teacher is thinking in real time.” (John Hattie, Why Teaching Strategies Don't Make You an Excellent Teacher). Hattie believes that this is where the research is turning to, with more thinking aloud and dialogue around learning, and he goes on to project there will be “a massive breakthrough in automation of classroom observation and teachers will improve because of it.”[viii] I can already see useful technology emerging in the corporate workplace that uses Artificial Intelligence to score a sales employee on their presentations, providing immediate feedback on specific metrics, including content, articulation, and even picking out keywords to help improve presentation skills. The future of learning is evolving, and it undeniably involves an understanding of our brain. Learning with the Brain in Mind: Friederike Fabritius on EPISODE #27[ix] was next to contribute to our formula of learning and “Achieving Peak Performance” as we began to connect the neurochemicals involved in those high levels of achievement where peak performance or flow occurs. Dr. John Dunlosky's Research Our next guest to help us to decipher this formula for learning was Kent State University's Dr. John Dunlosky, from EPISODE #37[x]  on “Improving Student Success: Some Principles from Cognitive Science.” I'll never forget when the lights started to go on for me, when I first heard Dr. Dunlosky speak in 2016 of an Edweek Webinar about “deliberate practice” being one of the most effective learning strategies vs cramming to learn something new (whether a new skill in the classroom, or a sport). This led us to EPISODE #38[xi] on “The Daily Grind in the NHL” with Todd Woodcroft, who at the time was an Assistant Coach with the Winnipeg Jets. His episode covered the importance of “the daily grind” or doing the same things every day, for predictable results in the pro sports world. The Key Ingredients of Learning: I could keep going through our episodes, and connecting the guests who spoke about the key ingredients of learning, but as we move towards the current research, I want to start with what we first identified with learning with the brain in mind. On today's Episode #276 on “Looking Back at the Key Ingredients of Learning” we will cover ✔ A review of the key ingredients of learning from our early episodes (that include motivation and repetition). ✔ A look back on John Hattie's Research with his ground-breaking book Visible Learning as he prepares to release Visible Learning: The Sequel to see “What's New” when it comes to teaching and learning in the classroom. ✔ What is NEW with Learning and the Brain? (Dr. Andrew Huberman). ✔ How Can We Learn NEW Skills Faster with the Brain in Mind: A 3-STEP PROCESS ✔ Using Repetition and the NEW Research to Learn NEW Skills Faster: A 4-STEP PROTOCOL ✔ Thoughts on the Future of Learning. What Dr. Huberman's Research Says About Learning NEW Skills Faster: When I looked up what's new in this area, I didn't need to go anywhere else, other than with Stanford Professor, Dr. Andrew Huberman and his Huberman Lab Podcast. I found two very thorough episodes that were similar in content, both close to 2 hours in length. You can access each of his episodes by clicking on the link in the show notes, but for today's episode, I wanted to take the research, and tie it to what we already know about learning, with some steps for how we can use this research in the future. I took his Podcast #20 on How to Learn Skills Faster[xii] that was published a year ago, in 2022, a year after I took a stab at explaining the key ingredients of learning. I remember listening to this episode while exercising and thinking I really needed to take notes, as he went into depth on the science behind acquiring new skills, affirming that we had uncovered some of the most important ingredients, specifically the repetition of a new skill and the motivation. I remember thinking it would have been good to know this as a former PE teacher, and I'll be sure to copy my friend Dan Vigliatore[xiii] who trains our next generation of educators with what's new and innovative for PE teachers in the classroom at York university in Toronto, or even just thinking back over those early episodes, it was clear why doing things a certain way (whether it's learning a new skill in the classroom, for athletic performance or in the workplace) that tapping into the Science of Learning, improving what we already know works in the learning process, will take everything to a deeper level for all of us. According to Dr. Huberman: How to Learn Anything Faster: STEP 1: Open Loop vs Closed Loop Dr. Huberman explains there are 2 types of skills: open loop and closed loop skills and you'll want to be able to distinguish between these skills. Open Loop: is a skill that when it's completed, you know if you did it right, or not. It would be like if a gymnast is doing a back flip. They either do the back flip, or they mess it up.  The only way to do it correctly, is to attempt it again if they messed up something and were scared halfway through. Or like throwing darts at a dart board. If the darts go on the ground, you missed the skill and the only way to get the skill, is to try it again. Or a free throw in basketball. I think we've got the point of this skill type. We can either do the skill, or we don't. This is an open loop.   Closed Loop: is a skill that allows for correction while performing the skill, like if you were running and your coach is giving you tips on your stride or something that you change and improve along the way, or if you were playing the drums, and you were given instruction on how to speed up or slow down your tempo. STEP 2: Ask “what should I focus my attention on?” Next, Dr. Huberman says we ask ourselves “what should I focus my attention on” and there are three places. It's either going to auditory attention (you are listening for something), visual attention (you are watching something) or it's proprioception (sometimes known as our 6th sense) where we think about where our limbs are in relation to our body as we are performing a certain skill (like being able to walk or kick without looking at your feet). STEP 3: Your Neurology Will Take Care of the Rest This is where things get exciting, as Dr. Huberman goes into the in-depth explanation of how learning something new translates within certain parts of our brain. Without attempting to teach what he explains so well, I'm going to break it down so we can understand the basic ideas that he covers.   Central Pattern Generators: exist in our spinal cord and it's this part of the brain that generates repetitive movements with skills we have learned. Things like walking, running, swimming, cycling, are all controlled by this part of the brain. The CPG also controls already learned behavior. When you have developed a certain skill, this part of the brain is taking over and controls the movement. I thought about something Friederike Fabritius said in her first interview with me when we were talking about her book, The Leading Brain and I asked her about something she wrote about on this topic of understanding learned behavior and how it shows up in our brain after years of repetitive practice. She gave 2 examples of people who didn't rely on their conscious thinking brain, but they used their unconscious brain to increase the speed, efficiency and accuracy of their performance. The first example she used was with Sully Sullenberger's quick thinking with his emergency landing of that plane in the Hudson River and the other was with Wayne Gretzky, who used his unique “hockey sense” to “skate where the puck will be, not where it is.”  Friederike explains in her book The Leading Brain that “there's a common misconception that intuitive decisions are random and signify a lack of skill, the exact opposite is true. Intuitive decisions are often the product of years of experience and thousands of hours of practice. They represent the most efficient use of your accumulated expertise.”[xiv]   So, if you are executing a skill that you've spent years learning, you will be activating this part of your brain, the Central Pattern Generator. Let's say you haven't spent years learning a sport. Like for me, with golf. If I swing a golf club, the parts of my brain that will be working are much different than the brain of a golf pro who would be using the CPG. I'd be using the next part of our brain, the Upper Motor Neurons in our cortex, that are the neural pathways that control movement, and are involved with things like picking up a pen, or a deliberate action, like swinging a golf club. This part of our brain is important to note in the visualization process, with skill building, that we will touch on in a minute. Then there's the Lower Motor Neurons in our spinal cord that send messages to our muscles that causes the muscles to move. When it comes to skill acquisition, I'm sure you've heard of the 10,000 hour rule. Someone just said it to me the other day, and while it does explain that work is involved with learning a new skill, it doesn't explain HOW we learn that new skill, using science. The secret to NEW skill acquisition Dr. Huberman says is not about the hours you put in, it's about the repetition. This made me think back to those early episodes where we took Dr. John Dunlosky's research, connected it to what we know works in the sports world, with the daily grind that's required for pro sports athletes, and now Dr. Huberman adds something new to this equation. He says of course “there's a connection between time and repetition, but there's new research that states that it's important what you are focused on as you learn a new skill, and if you can adjust the number of repetitions that you do, adjusting your motivation for learning, and you can vastly accelerate learning.”[xv] He went on the share study after study that backed this idea up, but without going into the weeds with the research, he says the protocol for learning any skill faster, something he says has been dubbed online as “The Super Mario Effect” or “The Test Tube Experiment” with mice or rats has to do with stimulating a certain brain area that can lead to vastly accelerating learning. He goes into where he has seen this being tested with Lewis Howes on his podcast “How to Learn Anything Fast”[xvi] where Lewis Howes almost fell off his chair with what he was learning. The issue with this method is that it's being tested now in military environments, and not something that any of us could use for immediate results, as we'd have to drill holes in our skull to stimulate a certain part of the brain to get these accelerated learning results (and they are doing this in certain places). But what can we do right away with this research? Dr. Huberman says that “whatever it is we are learning, that we are to perform as many repetitions per unit of time as we possibly can, even if we make errors” and this repeat of performance, even if there are errors will help you to accelerate skill learning.”  So, we did get the ingredients of learning correct with the emphasis on repetition, but I didn't know that the research now shows that making errors would promote plasticity in the brain and accelerate the learning process. Here's a 4 STEP Protocol to Help You to Learn Faster with Brain Science in Mind Get as many repetitions in per session. (whether a sport or even going back to Dr. Dunlosky with his importance of spaced repetition). Pay attention to the errors you make and don't worry about bad habits getting engrained. You will know the right actions vs the ones you want to discard. Know that neurochemicals are being created from the successful repetitions. After the session: REST. DO NOTHING. Don't look at your phone for 1-5 minutes to allow the neurons in the brain to replay the sequences you practiced. The errors will be eliminated and the correct sequence will be played back. What is interesting with Dr. Huberman's research is that he noted that when you sit and let the brain go idle after this repetition, that the brain will play the sequences backwards as it consolidates learning (and he says they aren't sure why) but the brain in sleep, plays the sequence forward. He also covered using a metronome (that tool we know helps you to learn to play the piano) as a powerful tool to increase the number of repetitions. I thought about how I would use this strategy, and think it makes the most sense for sports (thinking of when I was a PE teacher of how I could have used this information), or even apply it to my girls who practice gymnastics, and share with them that it matters how many turns they take to practice their skill. I asked them “how many times do you practice a back flip in one 4-hour practice” and they didn't have a number for me. If they are messing around in practice, they are taking away from others getting these higher repetitions, as well as themselves. I know their coaches know this, but I'm hoping that the girls understand why these focused repetitions area important for their results and skill learning. If I were a coach, with this brain science in mind, I'd have athletes count the number of reps they were doing with a certain skill, in a certain time period and see how each practice they could increase this number. What Does the Research Say About Visualization and Learning: I've spent a lot of time covering Visualization on this podcast, as it's a part of my daily routine, so of course I wondered what Dr. Huberman and the research says about adding mental rehearsal to your learning. While he did say that “visualization is a powerful tool and that it works” he added “not as good as the actual experience” of doing the actual physical activity. Dr. Huberman says that “closing your eyes and thinking about a sequence of movements and visualizing it in your mind's eye creates the activation of the upper motor neurons that's very similar, if not the same as the actual movement.” He said that visualization is a good supplement to your learning routine, but not a replacement. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION: To review and conclude this episode on the ingredients of learning, I think we uncovered the main ingredients from our episode 2 years ago (repetition and motivation) that's crucial for learning, but Dr. Huberman's research on making sure we get as many repetitions as we can per session, even if we make mistakes in the process, did help me to look at learning with a new lens. I also couldn't forget how he said the military is experimenting with stimulating parts of the brain to accelerate learning and know that years down the line, it might be easier for us to learn a new language, or master a new skill in a sport, with advancements in our understanding of brain science. I hope that this episode helped you to think of what else you could do to accelerate learning for your students in the classroom, whether it's with John Hattie's reflections of “thinking through” an effective lesson, or with the tried and true strategies of Dr. John Dunlosky of spaced repetition that have proven to accelerate results in sports and the classroom, or even Dr. Huberman's idea of increasing the amount of repetitions per unit of time, without worrying about errors. This episode on learning made me think of more questions than I have answers for. It was only two years after we wrote ep 119, that Dr. Andrew Huberman released his new research, and many studies that have emerged about how to accelerate learning with repetition, and how our brain is involved in this process. 15 years after Professor John Hattie released his ground-breaking Visible Learning book in the field of education, that he reflects back now on AI for classroom observation.  I'll close with a quote from Mark Zuckerberg who says that “unsupervised learning is the way that most people will learn in the future. You have this model of how the world works in your head and you're refining it to predict what you think is going to happen in the future.” This makes me wonder: What will we uncover 3 years from now? Will we ever be able to find the science that gives us answers to other ways we can learn, like finding answers from our dream world? Will we be able to predict our future somehow like Mark Zuckerberg suggested by refining something in our head? While Dr. Huberman says that visualization is a powerful tool that works, he still says that it doesn't work as well as actually doing the skill. He has the data to prove this today but will we uncover something about our brain and places we can stimulate it without having to drill open our skull in the future that could improve our effectiveness, even if it's a few percentages of improvement?  Maybe tweaking something with our visualization process could unlock some of the secrets Jose Silva unlocked in his Silva Mind Control Method[xvii] that we dove deep into at the end of last year?  One thing I know for sure is that I'll never stop asking questions and searching for answers that can help us to all be a stronger more resilient 2.0 version of ourselves.  What about you?  What questions do you have? How has science informed your learning?

Ron Halls life was centered around a successful career as an international art dealer and a passion for his Rocky Top ranch on the Brazos River. All this changed in 1998 as a result on an encounter with a homeless man, Denver Moore, who was threatening to kill everyone in the Fort Worth, Texas homeless shelter where Ron and his wife Deborah had begun to volunteer two weeks earlier. After the death of his wife in November, 2000, Denver Moore moved in with Ron and lived with him for the next ten years. This life changing encounter, featured on many television and radio shows inspired Ron to write his first book SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME, a story of hope and redemption. The word of mouth hit became a New York Times platinum bestseller and stayed on the list for more than three and a half years. In 2007, President Bush appointed Ron to the State Department Cultural Property Committee to advise the President on diplomatic matters regarding international art and antiquities. He served through December 2011. Currently, Ron is a screenwriter and producer of the movie version of his book SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME. It opened in theaters across America by Paramount Pictures October 20, 2017. He recently published SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME, Children's version and WORKING OUR WAY HOME, the story of the ten years he and Denver lived together. He is currently writing the sequel for the movie. Ron and his wife Beth, reside in Dallas where they direct the Same Kind of Different as MeFoundation, SKODAM.org, established to raise money and awareness for the homeless.

All organizations start with WHY, but only the great ones keep their WHY clear year after year.”― Simon Sinek, Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action Watch the interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/hP854mDG9do On this episode you will learn: ✔︎  The vision for The Neuroscience Meets SEL Podcast, from Majid Samadi's eyes, watching the podcast grow from the early days when it was just an idea. ✔︎  Why SEL skills are important in today's classrooms, and Emotional Intelligence training in our corporate workplaces. ✔︎ How Andrea held her vision for interviewing high quality guests with an experience over 12 years ago, of running The Teen Performance Magazine. ✔︎ The TOP 3 Guests from Majid's point of view in the past year. ✔︎ How to monetize a podcast, and why this step is crucial to sustain any idea. ✔︎ The "behind-the-scenes" of this podcast, from someone whose office is next door to where all interviews are conducted.   Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast, for our 200th episode milestone, with a reflection back on “The Why Behind Our Podcast” which is the #1 question people ask me when I share that I host this podcast. I hope that we can all learn something about “why we do what we do” as we reflect back on the past 100 episodes (that covers 2021 and the beginning of 2022). I've asked a special returning guest from episode #1[i], Majid Samadi, senior regional sales director at Lexia Learning[ii], and my husband, to join me as we reflect back on “why we do what we do”, as Simon Sinek would say. Welcome back.  I'm Andrea Samadi, author, and educator from Toronto, Canada, now in Arizona, and like many of you listening, have been fascinated with learning and understanding and applying the science behind high performance strategies that we can use to improve our productivity in our schools, our sports, and workplace environments. My vision with this podcast began 3 years ago, and I think it's important to step back and take a look at “why” we began this podcast, since “the why” should be behind all of our work to keep us moving forward. As we think about “why” we do what we do, I hope that you reflect on why you do what YOU do, and see if you can gain insights from your why, to drive you to new levels of awareness, as we do the same. I chose Majid Samadi to join me on this episode, because he's really good at launching big ideas, especially those ideas that have a clear “why” behind them. It was Majid who encouraged me to publish my first book, The Secret for Teens Revealed to put the ideas I learned from the seminar industry into writing, and when I mentioned that I was thinking about launching a podcast in early 2019, when my website had a podcast theme, his first words were “how can I help you to begin?” You would think that the person in our household who met Simon Sinek (me) would be his biggest fan, but Majid would be a much bigger fan of Sinek's work than me. Every year he trains his sales team (at Lexia Learning—a company that provides structured literacy solutions and professional learning to students and educators across the country) on Sinek's “The Golden Circle” so that his sales team launches their year with a clear why behind what they will be doing, to kickstart their year. I'm always looking for a new angle to think about “why we do what we do” and I recently saw Mathew Portell's[iii] keynote speech at Butler University's 6th Annual Educational Neuroscience Symposium and it opened my eyes to a new way to approach this episode.  Mathew Portell, who is currently in his sixth year as principal of Fall-Hamilton Elementary, an internationally recognized innovative model school for trauma-informed practices in Metro Nashville Public Schools, opened up his keynote for the Neuroscience Symposium with a completely NEW way of looking at our why. At least it was for me. Before I bring Majid on, I wanted us to all think about why we do what we do, to see our work through a new lens, with renewed purpose this year. Remember on our final episode of our Think and Grow Rich book study, we talked about how important it was that we had a clear vision of our goals (WHAT WE DO) but has anyone ever asked you why you do what you do? Canadian Health and PE Educator, Dan Vigilatore,[iv] teaches this to all new health/physical education teachers at York University's Faculty of Education. I'll put a link to his recent lesson in the show notes.[v] Back to Mathew Portell's keynote. During Mathew's recent keynote, he gave us a formula to think about. SLIDE from Mathew Portell's Presentation https://paradigmshifteducation.com He said to think about your Intent (why you do what you do) + outcome (what are your outcomes of your work) = Impact (are you having an impact?) when thinking about the work that you are doing. It's been almost three years ago since we launched this podcast (in June 2019) and back then, I didn't see this formula, but I knew we had the right intent with our work, we were making headway with our programs in the schools, but the impact was not at all what I had envisioned. We were missing something with our impact. I always had a global vision for this work and didn't need Mathew Portell's formula to tell me that our outcome was off. We needed to do something differently to have a larger impact—this global vision. So, when I bought a template for my new website that had a podcast theme, and the website developer said “you can delete the podcast section” I knew that I had to do something beyond what we were doing, and launched the podcast, putting our best work out to the world, for free, completely unaware of where it would lead us. Three years later, we hit the Top 15 Best SEL Podcasts for 2021[vi], and Top 20 Best Neuroscience Podcasts for 202[vii]1 featuring some of the leading experts in neuroscience, education and the brain, I know that the impact is beginning to match the vision I saw. Think about Mathew's formula with your work, and let's welcome my better half, the one who has watched me with this work since those early days when all of this was just ideas scrawled on paper all over my office walls and he said “are you ever going to do something with those ideas?” Let's welcome Majid Samadi. Welcome Majid! Thanks for agreeing to come back on the podcast as a returning guest for this important milestone. INTRO Q: I know that you know, I think it's important to thank people who've helped you along the way. It's always been very important to me. I think you'll remember I once drove 3 hours, each way, to thank someone who infused me with ideas and support over the years. I've thanked everyone but not sure if you know how much I appreciate all you've done to help me to keep this podcast going, from all of the late night edits, that often went into the weekend, so you would take the kids swimming while I'm at my desk or just giving me the quiet time needed to research each guest, there's just so much behind the scenes that goes into the production of each episode. So, my first question, after thanking you for all your support over the years, making everything, can you think back to episode 1 and tell me what YOU think are the biggest changes you've noticed since we launched the podcast to make all of this worthwhile? Q1: Thinking back to our first episode, that was June 2019, you had just come home from a business trip) when I asked you to read and answer those questions (with no prep) about why these emotional intelligence skills are important in our workplace. Almost 3 years later, what would you say now? After the pandemic--Why are these skills so important in the workplace? Q2: I've always said you are my quality assurance department because every guest has been vetted by you (after I've chosen them) to be sure they align with the most current research with practical strategies we can all use and implement. You've kept me on track with the vision of this podcast with high quality guests and it's not the first project we've done together where this was important. We had to do the same thing when we were looking for guests for the Teen Performance Magazine[viii] 12 years ago and I recall you on the phone with Taylor Swift's PR team. What sticks out to you with this responsibility of making sure we provide the highest quality guests/content for our listeners, just like we did 12 years ago with our magazine interviews? Q3: We hit the first 100 episodes last December 2020, (a bit over a year ago) and I know that don't have a chance to listen to ALL of them (I will do a thorough review of lessons learned from our TOP 10 in this past year). But I wonder, since we are immersed in each person before, during and after their interview, is there someone that comes to mind that stuck out to you this past year as we went from 100-200 episodes? Your TOP 3? Is there anything important that you remember about these episodes? Q4: Since you have watched the vision of Achieveit360.com where we started with curriculum and tools for middle and high schools with our Level Up Program, how do you see things have evolved over the years with our vision? If you can think back to the days we spent hours coming up with our website URL, how has our vision evolved over the years? Q5: This podcast was created by design, to consist of the highest quality content (that was going to be a course for an educational publisher as you remember) with the idea that this information would be FREE for those who do not have access to this information. You know that this podcast is sponsored by Achieveit360.com and our programs and services but in the future, we do have a vision to do something we have never done before and will provide ads on the podcast. As someone who drives sales with your sales team, why do you think monetizing a podcast with ad space is important and for people who think a podcast will make them a ton of money, what do you think they should know? Q6: For those who tune into the podcast, from whatever part of the world they listen to, what would you like them to know about the “behind the scenes” production process. What do you see that others don't (without embarrassing me too much) from the researching, editing, and production side of things? Q7: Aside from the fact that I know you would support anything I produce and create, what is it about this podcast that you see that's different from some of the other projects you have seen me working on over the years in this office? Q8: It's difficult for me to go back to earlier episodes when my sound quality wasn't that great, or to remember when the audio wouldn't work for my first interview with Ron Hall[ix], (who now uses our podcast as a resource for a graduate class he teaches on Trauma and Resiliency at a local University in his area), or when I was nervous for at least the first 50 interviews, including Greg Wolcott from EPISODE #7[x] who became one of our top supporters, giving me many opportunities to speak and share resources with First Educational Resources[xi], but I sometimes do listen to past episodes and the content is always useful and applicable and I know that we launched without being perfect, but was always open to learning something new. What would you like others to know about The Neuroscience Meets SEL Podcast that I would never say? Q8B: What's the process from idea formation, to an idea that comes to fruition? Q9: If you were to hijack my email account for a day, and invite a guest that has nothing to do with neuroscience that you would interview, who would you choose and what would you want to ask them? Q10: Is there anything I've missed, that you think is important that we share on this 200th milestone episode? We haven't spoken about the fact that you believe in the importance of giving back to the community with the work you do in your spare time. Why is giving back so important? Thank you, Majid, for coming back on the podcast as a guest and again, thank you for your support behind the scenes to make this podcast possible. I'm proud to be the one who does this thing called life next to you. Majid gives Andrea a surprise at the end of the interview that says "Congrats on #200! Thanks for your impact on the world.!"
