In this episode, I'm thrilled to introduce something brand new — Curiosity Lab, a program designed to ignite the minds of 10–13-year-olds through real-world learning, led by inspiring high school mentors.Our very first teacher is Ava, a passionate and thoughtful high school student who's teaching the first Curiosity Lab unit on public speaking. Ava shares how she discovered her love for speech and debate, why she wanted to teach younger students, and what it's been like to design a unit that's engaging, age-appropriate, and deeply meaningful.We talk about:Why peer-to-peer learning is so powerfulHow Ava planned her lessons to spark curiosity in middle schoolersWhat makes Curiosity Lab different from schoolHow younger students benefit from seeing older teens as role modelsWhether you're a parent of a curious preteen or just someone who believes in the power of inspired teaching, this episode will give you a behind-the-scenes look at something truly special.To register for the Curiosity Lab, to go TILC.to/CL-----To register for the Ivy League Challenge, visit our websiteTo follow on Instagram:  @TheIvyLeagueChallengeTo join us on our Facebook group for parents

What if your child's future success—especially with college admissions—hinges  on how curious they become before they even get there?In this episode, I break down the Curiosity Window, the critical developmental phase between ages 10 and 13, when your child's brain is primed for identity formation, exploration, and deep learning. If curiosity is nurtured now, it becomes a foundation for confidence, motivation, and impact later. If ignored, that spark often fades—leading to disengaged, uncertain teens.You'll also hear why I created Curiosity Lab, a live weekly program designed specifically for 10–13 year-olds to build curiosity, critical thinking, and communication skills through hands-on learning.

Most ambitious teens spend their high school years pursuing the activities that they believe will make them most impressive to an admissions officer. This takes tremendous effort and sacrifice. But ironically, even if you are successful-- you become the most impressive person in your entire school-- you will eventually discover that there are 30,000 high schools in North America. And the "most impressive" students almost all did exactly the same things. So you end up with a boring application.

If you listen to me regularly, you know that the best college prep begins with discovering your core values, and then building off of that make a meaningful contribution to your community. But as I've taught more and more students, I've realized that some students are well prepared to do this work, while others struggle to get there.For example, if you believe that talent is innate, then you will want to continue doing the things that you are good at, and you'll want to avoid trying new things, because that will make you look like a fool. But of course real confidence doesn't come from being good at something, it comes from being willing to be bad at something first.Training our minds is easier when we begin earlier. Not only does starting this type of training earlier improve your performance, it also sets you up for success in many other ways as well.
