Jethro D. Jones sits down with Simon and Jill from ClassVR at ISTE 2026 to talk about the company's newest VR innovations in education. They dive into Thrive, a sensory regulation product designed to support students who struggle with dysregulation, and preview ClassVR's new STEM library, which lets students safely experience hands-on experiments (like chemistry reactions and dissections) that are often limited by budget or safety concerns in real classrooms. The conversation also explores how VR builds "organic skills" that develop over time, why immersive, judgment-free environments help students practice soft skills, and what schools should consider before adopting VR — from full-solution onboarding to keeping VR sessions short and focused for maximum engagement.

For Part Two in our Continual Learning mini-series, Dr. Nadav Amir of The University of Ottowa joins me and guest co-host Dr. Adam Safron of Tufts University for a trialogue on the fundamental role of goals in intelligence.Nadav draws on behavioral neuroscience, Buddhist philosopher Dharmakirti, control and information theory, and John Vervaeke's work on “relevance realization” to formally articulate what many wisdom traditions have argued for millennia: what you take to be “reality” — your world and self — is a function of goal-based representations, state descriptions and reward functions create each other, and “what is” and “what do I care about” are two sides of the same thing. You can't separate what you want from what you experience and what you are capable of. But this means that if you change your goals your reality will shift, and your sense of self with it. The opposite is also true: change the way you organize the the ineffable structure of reality into a conceptual framework, and you'll care about very different things. Thanks to the pace of change we're living through this kind of transformative experience now, so it's a good time to ask:If selves are a kind of falsification, why do we have them in the first place? Does AI need goals of its own in order to be truly intelligent?And perhaps the deepest question we ask in this episode:How if at all can we develop better frameworks for deciding what we want our intelligent machines to become — and who we want to become alongside them?Thanks to the Survival and Flourishing Fund for their support of this mini-series.

Jethro D. Jones interviews Jamie Candee (CEO of Edmentum) about bridging the gap between K-12 education and career readiness. They discuss how AI is reshaping the job market, why "durable skills" matter more than ever, and how schools can expose students to career paths early through career exploration tools, workplace internships, and real-world partnerships (like Edmentum's MajorClarity platform and Roadtrip Nation videos). Candee shares personal stories — including her son Milo's journey exploring baseball-adjacent careers — to illustrate how students can find purpose beyond the traditional "doctor, lawyer, teacher" track. The conversation also covers practical advice for principals looking to build career-connected learning pathways in their own schools.

Anika sat down with Dr. Michael Gerharz to explore why brilliant ideas and vital corporate strategies so often end up in the trash bin. The conversation revealed a counterintuitive truth: the solution isn't persuading harder—it's resonating stronger. Michael's unique background transitioning from computer science networks to executive communication offered practical pushback against the persistent reliance on complex professional jargon, alongside a sharp look at what truly makes a presentation unforgettable (spoiler: it requires stepping off the hero's pedestal).   In This Episode From computer science to communication: frustration with discarded ideas What corporate leaders can learn about complexity from writing children's books The Alcoa turnaround: how focusing on worker safety quintupled company revenue Why words that resonate are found by listening better, not thinking harder The danger of hiding behind professional tech jargon and PowerPoint slides Breaking down the PATH Framework: Plain & Simple, Actionable, Transformative, Heartfelt Applying the framework in real-time: a CEO's vulnerable keynote success The pass-along phrase: a journalistic tool for razor-sharp presentation focus Stepping off the hero's pedestal: why audiences don't need another hero   Timestamps 00:00 Introduction: Simplicity as the entrance to complexity 02:18 The transition from computer science to communication 04:10 The connection between five-year-olds and CEOs: simplifying the core idea 08:14 Don't persuade harder, resonate stronger: The Paul O'Neill Alcoa story 13:21 Why leaders hide behind professional-sounding language 17:09 The PATH Framework explained 20:17 A real-world example of trading statistics for vulnerability 23:18 How the PATH framework led to a worldwide toy licensing deal 29:16 Creating a successful short-form format in a long-form world 33:14 The "pass-along phrase" communication strategy 35:36 Turning the spotlight off the speaker and onto the audience 38:29 Why smart people need to stop trying to be right and start getting it right 40:24 Final thoughts and the Miles Davis quote   Key Insights & Takeaways   Insight 1: Simplicity is the Entrance to Complexity   Professionals frequently wear complex jargon as a badge of honor, assuming it proves sophistication. However, whether speaking to a five-year-old or a board of directors, complexity without a simple entry point leads to immediate disengagement. Simplification isn't "dumbing down" the message; it is providing a clear hook that makes the audience say, "Tell me more," thereby inviting them down the rabbit hole into the complexity.   Insight 2: Don't Persuade Harder, Resonate Stronger   When a business is struggling, the instinct is to overwhelm the team with data, charts, and demands for greater effort. True impact, however, requires finding the intersection between business objectives and the audience's personal interests. As demonstrated by Paul O'Neill at Alcoa, focusing on an emotionally resonant keystone habit (like worker safety) can indirectly solve massive operational and revenue problems without relying on brute-force persuasion.   Insight 3: The Danger of the "Hero's Pedestal"   Speakers frequently step onto the stage believing they must prove their worth and act as the hero of the room. This mindset creates immense pressure and often alienates the audience, who view themselves as the heroes of their own lives. True influence is achieved by stepping down from the pedestal, adopting the role of the mentor, and utilizing the spotlight solely to help the audience overcome their own challenges.   Insight 4: The Power of the "Pass-Along Phrase"   To ensure a message lands, communicators must reverse-engineer their presentations. By identifying the exact phrase they want an audience member to relay to a colleague who missed the meeting, speakers create a razor-sharp navigation system. Any slide, anecdote, or statistic that does not directly support that final "pass-along phrase" is a detour that should be cut.   Insight 5: Stop Trying to Be Right, Start Getting it Right   Highly analytical leaders often waste presentations trying to make an airtight, factual case to force agreement. However, two people can agree on the exact same facts and still choose different courses of action. Communication is most effective when leaders let go of their ego and the need to be "right," focusing instead on outlining a shared path forward that makes sense for both parties.   Insight 6: Jargon is a Shield   When leaders know what they want to say but resort to dense, approved corporate language, they are usually trying to protect themselves. This vague, professional surface prevents them from being backed into a corner, but it also strips the passion and clarity from their message. The most powerful presentations often occur when a speaker drops the slides and explains their vision in plain, conversational English.   Resources & Links Mentioned The Path to Strategic Impact (Book) Irresistible Communication The Best Talk of Your Life:  https://michaelgerharz.com/yba   About Dr. Michael Gerharz   Dr. Michael Gerharz holds a doctorate in communication networks and has transitioned his expertise from machine-to-machine systems to high-stakes human communication.

I interviewed Rose Bond about 1968 on Sunday, August 31, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for 1968: "1968 is communal VR theatre that explores the transformative power of protest through allusions to 1968 — a year charged with societal, cultural and political unrest. Animated from still photographs of both the iconic and the mundane, the piece investigates international interstices of history, human bonding and power in times of socio-cultural upheaval. Rose Bond's 360° hand-drawn animation interacts with Massimiliano Borghesi's spatialisation of inti figgis-vizueta's original recorded tracks of Seven Sides of Fire to ignite a dynamic, evocative and shared immersive experience. 1968 is a collaboration of international creatives and stands as the first movement of a longer, anticipated work. 1968 is experienced collectively under a geodesic sound dome." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: Power of people and culture [11] to change government [10], but also the modes of violence that are used against them [7]. The Transformative Power of Protest Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Emotional Presence: Story, Music - Visual storytelling language of abstract animatsion - Very tightly coupled with the patterns of music2nd Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: Spatial Audio via the Dome. There's a lot of void spaces here, and you end up seeing some hand-drawn animations that start to sketch out various scenes of political liberation from the 19683rd Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: No words, Poetic Dream Logic to evoke the memories based upon these iconic events from 1968. No explanation or discourse about anything, and so it does require the audience to be somewhat familiar with the specific cultural histories being referenced from both the United States as well as in France. This is shown as a group experience, but you don't see anyone else, and so it also feels like a solo experience that you are parallel playing with others as they watch it4th Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: No narrative agency or any embodied Interactions Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Revolutionary change and upheavel of the socio-political order of the 60s: "investigates international interstices of history, human bonding and power in times of socio-cultural upheaval" - Transformative power of Protest Artist Statement: "'VR, when combined with hand-drawn animation and immersive sound, can articulate complex emotional and lyrical dimensions with rare sensitivity.' Coming from a school of animation that values gesture over spoken word, I regard 3D space as a gift — an expansion from the flatness of film, a place for extended choreography. Sound has long inhabited the space between sense and sensation. This communal VR installation, ensconced in a geodesic dome mounted with fifteen acoustic speakers, seeks a shared experience — one that verges on the haptic, with exquisite spatial precision." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPgr1nul4ro This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon.

The diversity principle – the idea that people with different backgrounds, identities, and viewpoints produce betterwork – was a core tenet of the first modern research university and the inspiration for John Stuart Mill's classic treatise, On Liberty. But as a war on diversity upends government, corporate, and education policies, the history of the idea of diversity has never been more important.

On this episode of the Free Radical Podcast, we are joined by Anglican priest, author, and former Canon of Wells Cathedral, Patrick Woodhouse. Our conversation unfolds through faith, suffering, and the possibility of transformation within life's most difficult experiences. We discuss the search for meaning beyond fixed religious boundaries, including the ways in which faith can emerge in unexpected forms and settings. Much of the discussion is shaped by Woodhouse's engagement with the life and writings of Etty Hillesum, particularly through Patrick's book “Etty Hillesum: A Life Transformed,” alongside his work, “Life Transformed” and “Life in the Psalms: Contemporary Meaning in Ancient Texts” (Bloomsbury). Through these texts, he explores how ancient spiritual traditions and modern testimony can speak into questions that remain urgently present today: how to live with grief and tragedy, how to understand hope without denial, and how praise and lament can coexist within a single life. At its heart, this episode invites reflection on how Etty Hillesum's witness, along with the enduring voice of the Psalms, continues to offer language for both despair and hope in a complex and unsettled world. https://youtu.be/g4jcmDjKk2E ▶ CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION: Gaudiya Reform Forum on Facebook .~ Swami Padmanabha's Channels ▶ FACEBOOK ▶ YOUTUBE ▶ INSTAGRAM ▶ WEBSITE ▶ PURCHASE RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion in hardcover, paperback, and/or Kindle formats on Amazon ▶ WRITE your REVIEW of RADICAL PERSONALISM ~ Tadatmya Sangha's Channels ▶ WEBSITE ▶ FACEBOOK ▶ INSTAGRAM ▶ YOUTUBE

Jim Robbins, author of The Man Who Planted Trees: A Story of Lost Groves, the Science of Trees, and a Plan to Save the Planet, discusses the life's work of David Milarch, a man who, following a transformative near-death experience, embarked on a mission to save the genetics of the world's largest and oldest trees. Through the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive, Milarch and his team clone "champion trees"—the largest specimens of various species—to preserve their resilient DNA, which Milarch believes contains the "schooling" of centuries of survival against storms and disease. Despite early resistance from federal regulators and established forestry groups, the project has gained global attention as a vital response to the climate crisis. Robbins highlights trees as sophisticated "eco technology" that performs "ecosystem services," such as filtering water through the rhizosphere (root system), signaling threats to one another via chemical processes, and even influencing global weather patterns. The discussion underscores a dire environmental reality: 95% of old-growth redwoods and sequoias have been lost, and current giants are dying due to rising temperatures. To counter this, Milarch utilizes "assisted migration," replanting clones of ancient giants in cooler northern climates like Oregon to ensure their survival. Ultimately, Robbins emphasizes the deep emotional and biological connection between humans and trees, advocating for a "gospel of trees" to restore the planet's damaged ecosystems.

At ISTE 2026, Jethro Jones sits down with Mike Anderson to discuss his new book, Hugging Porcupines: Practical Strategies for Supporting Kids Who Struggle with Behavior in School. They explore why some students disengage, resist connection, and act out — and how teachers can respond with strategies built on the "three-legged stool" of academic engagement, respectful discipline, and positive relationships. The conversation covers building classroom rules collaboratively, the difference between consequences and punishments, and why problem-solving conferences (not just sending kids to the office) are key to real behavior change.

Pete Hall joins Jethro Jones live at ISTE 2026 to discuss his new book, Reaching and Teaching Kids Who Don't Fit in the Box. They dig into the five core reasons students disengage from school (not fitting in, academic gaps, boredom, lack of support, and emotional struggles), and share practical strategies teachers can use immediately — including setting self-concordant student goals, using AI to personalize entry tasks around student interests, and asking "cognitive interest cue" questions that spark curiosity instead of just testing recall. The conversation also explores shifting from "who knows the answer" questioning to more inclusive approaches that invite all students to participate, even with wrong answers. Pete closes with details on his book's pre-sale discount.

Julia Azari, Professor of Political Science at Marquette University, has a new, award-winning[*] book centering on the connection between race and the American presidency, specifically in the reaction to presidents who made progress on the issue of race in the United States. Backlash Presidents: From Transformative to Reactionary Leaders in American History focuses on four different periods in American political history and a number of different presidential administrations including: Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Donald J. Trump. Race and the American presidency are not usually topics that are looped together, and this is also part of the point that Azari is making in the book, since presidents often try to elide racial politics and policy issues. Race is also not usually connected to presidential impeachments, but this is yet another key point that Azari raises, connecting racial progress, the backlash responses, and the subsequent impeachments. In noting these connections, Azari threads examples over time where presidents directly confronted race in American politics, working towards more racial equality, and how these efforts also prompt a backlash response. The key case studies in Backlash Presidents are Abraham Lincoln, the Emancipation Proclamation and the Civil War in the 1860s, Lyndon Johnson's efforts in the 1960s in regard to the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act, as well as anti-poverty legislation, and finally Barack Obama as the first Black president of the United States, which was both symbolic and structural. Backlash Presidents traces not only the progress made during these administrations, but also the responses that followed in the subsequent administrations. It is these next administrations, of Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Donald Trump, where each of these presidents were either impeached or were about to be impeached, and how this dynamic pulls together a variety of different threads to help us to understand presidential politics, institutional development, and American political history all in context of the question of race. Azari's research is connected to the idea of political time, but with the important addition of pulling out the problem of race in the United States. Backlash Presidents contributes to our thinking about not only the time and context of presidents and their administrations, but also to thinking about what it is that presidents do to politics itself. Part of this analysis also interrogates populism, positioning these movements within the context of racial backlash, while also building out the understanding of the president's position within his own party, especially during these fraught periods. In each of the key examples, Azari highlights the ways in which Johnson, Nixon, and Trump were outsiders to what was going on inside their parties—in each case the Republican Party at the time—and how these shifting partisan foundations opened up different kinds of vulnerabilities for these presidents. In each of the case studies, there is also the discussion of the role that the U.S. Congress plays, since they are the actors who move towards impeaching and trying the president. Members of the House of Representatives need to move beyond constraints in order to impeach a president, and in these instances, they have concluded that the president is not correct in some basic and meaningful way, that the president is not upholding his oath of office, and is also undermining the forward movement on race and racial equality. Backlash Presidents: From Transformation to Reactionary Leaders in American History is a deeply researched analysis, with important historical context and details to help flesh out the particular time period under consideration. The examination is further complicated and built out with important understandings of party politics in the United States, and how president fits into their political party, or may be seen as an outsider. Racial dynamics in the United States undergirds the entire theory, and helps us see the tensions within partisan politics, presidential politics, and American democracy. Lilly J.

It is these next administrations, of Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Donald Trump, where each of these presidents were either impeached or were about to be impeached, and how this dynamic pulls together a variety of different threads to help us to understand presidential politics, institutional development, and American political history all in context of the question of race. Azari's research is connected to the idea of political time, but with the important addition of pulling out the problem of race in the United States. Backlash Presidents contributes to our thinking about not only the time and context of presidents and their administrations, but also to thinking about what it is that presidents do to politics itself. Part of this analysis also interrogates populism, positioning these movements within the context of racial backlash, while also building out the understanding of the president's position within his own party, especially during these fraught periods. In each of the key examples, Azari highlights the ways in which Johnson, Nixon, and Trump were outsiders to what was going on inside their parties—in each case the Republican Party at the time—and how these shifting partisan foundations opened up different kinds of vulnerabilities for these presidents. In each of the case studies, there is also the discussion of the role that the U.S. Congress plays, since they are the actors who move towards impeaching and trying the president. Members of the House of Representatives need to move beyond constraints in order to impeach a president, and in these instances, they have concluded that the president is not correct in some basic and meaningful way, that the president is not upholding his oath of office, and is also undermining the forward movement on race and racial equality. Backlash Presidents: From Transformation to Reactionary Leaders in American History is a deeply researched analysis, with important historical context and details to help flesh out the particular time period under consideration. The examination is further complicated and built out with important understandings of party politics in the United States, and how president fits into their political party, or may be seen as an outsider. Racial dynamics in the United States undergirds the entire theory, and helps us see the tensions within partisan politics, presidential politics, and American democracy. Lilly J.

Julia Azari, Professor of Political Science at Marquette University, has a new, award-winning[*] book centering on the connection between race and the American presidency, specifically in the reaction to presidents who made progress on the issue of race in the United States. Backlash Presidents: From Transformative to Reactionary Leaders in American History focuses on four different periods in American political history and a number of different presidential administrations including: Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Donald J. Trump. Race and the American presidency are not usually topics that are looped together, and this is also part of the point that Azari is making in the book, since presidents often try to elide racial politics and policy issues. Race is also not usually connected to presidential impeachments, but this is yet another key point that Azari raises, connecting racial progress, the backlash responses, and the subsequent impeachments. In noting these connections, Azari threads examples over time where presidents directly confronted race in American politics, working towards more racial equality, and how these efforts also prompt a backlash response. The key case studies in Backlash Presidents are Abraham Lincoln, the Emancipation Proclamation and the Civil War in the 1860s, Lyndon Johnson's efforts in the 1960s in regard to the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act, as well as anti-poverty legislation, and finally Barack Obama as the first Black president of the United States, which was both symbolic and structural. Backlash Presidents traces not only the progress made during these administrations, but also the responses that followed in the subsequent administrations.

What if the greatest obstacle to aging well isn't physical decline, but the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us? In this episode, Dr. Jeff Armstrong welcomes Pratiqk Jaani, founder of the Dhrasti Method and author of Dhrasti!The Perception, for a conversation about perception, conditioning, consciousness, and the pursuit of lasting wholeness. Drawing from his own journey through professional success, personal dissatisfaction, and a life-changing health crisis, Pratiqk explains how cultivating the "observer self" can help us move beyond emotional reactivity and live with greater joy, resilience, and purpose. Together, they explore how these ideas intersect with transformative aging, the SPIES model, and the lifelong process of becoming well-centered.Learn more at https://www.pratiqkjaani.com/Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

In this episode, host Mike Caldwell sits down with Jo Lane, an educator support and instructional coach with 16 years of experience, who is currently a principal coach based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Jo shares insights from her new book, Burn the Script: How Great Coaches Disrupt Thinking and Transform Practice, released May 19th.The conversation dives deep into the concept of "mental fossils" — the ingrained beliefs and behavioral scripts educators develop from past professional experiences that often hold them back from growth. Jo breaks down how beliefs are anchored by three factors: skill, identity, and value, and explains why simply teaching a skill isn't enough to change behavior if underlying beliefs aren't addressed.Show Notes:Substack: EduCoach by Jo LeinLinkedIn: Jo LeinBook: Burn the Script: How Great Coaches Disrupt Mindsets and Transform PracticeInstagram/TikTok: @educoachbyjo We're proud to be sponsored by IXL. IXL's comprehensive teaching and learning platform for math, language arts, science, and social studies is accelerating achievement in 95 of the top 100 U.S. school districts.

Sooooo many lessons learned after the islanders were forced to watch some of their bad behavior displayed for the world to see. It was painful to watch, sure, but that discomfort led to some epiphanies for several cast members, most notably K.C. The conversation prompted by Aniya’s apology to him after movie night was over, was actually a beautiful moment to watch. K.C. is back and Aniya confirmed to all of us, why we like her so much. We also discuss the tough aftermath for both Sincere and Kenzie, and while our hearts go out to Melanie, we have different feelings towards Dylan. Also, we go over who is surprisingly, becoming one of our favorite islanders, and who we think will be kicked out of the villa after tonight’s recoupling.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode sets the stage for a collection of engrossing conversations with experts navigating the ever-evolving landscape of personal and professional transformation. Prepare to embark on a journey where change is not merely inevitable but an opportunity to redefine oneself.As we delve into the theme of reinvention, Myrna draws from her personal experiences and shares compelling stories of transformation.

Reinvention permeates every part of life, from professional pursuits to deeply personal healing journeys. Each episode in this series aims to instill hope and inspire resilience, showing that no matter one's age or circumstances, "transforming our minds" is the key to transforming our lives and embracing a new chapter.Key Takeaways:Reinvention is a continuous process that requires adaptability and willingness to step out of one's comfort zone.Transformative change often starts in the mind, well before external circumstances catch up.Stories of personal and professional transformation, such as Michael Jackson's pivot from the Jackson 5 and Myrna's own career shifts, illustrate the power of reinvention.Age is not a barrier to reinvention; learning and growth can occur at any stage of life.Reinvention is fueled by courage and a readiness to enter the unknown, as epitomized in Myrna's life and the stories of experts appearing in the series.Line up speakers Episode 1: Llana Golan - Reinvention, Resilience,Future Proofing Your Career Episode 2: Simone Knego - Reclaiming Confidence, Identity, and the Power of Perspective Episode 3: Dr Michael Biamonte - Supplementation, Deficiences, and the Gut-Mind connection Episode 4: Dr Marina Straszak-Suri - Restoring Fertility, Trusting the body, and Healing Reproductive Health Naturally Episode 5: Sarah Marks - From Trauma to Transcendence: Unlocking the Hidden Intelligence Within You. Episode 6: Dr Hector Rodriguez - Rewire Your Brain After Trauma: The Neuroscience of Emotional Healing See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094Feedspot Top 100 Mental Health Podcast For sponsored Brand interviews and sponsorship inquires please visit Partner With The Transform Your Mind Podcast | Myrna Young Life Coach
