  • Meh...

    Host speaks as though he only cares about getting through his checklist of topics. Guest was great, but I'm not sure if the content outweighs the periodic cringe-worthy moments.

  • Host is annoying but the guests are great

    Not the best produced podcast (e.g., listened to an episode which included audio of the host blowing his nose while the guest was talking), but the guests are always insightful. I appreciate the content and topics but think the host is just so annoying. He talks over people, repeats himself, and makes not-very-funny jokes. I've nearly unsubscribed because of how annoying I find him, but I've stayed with it because I can't find a podcast with good topics and hosts like these!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Beyond Vape Detection with Tom McDermott
Q: How do you balance detection technology with cultural change?
Detection can be a necessary safety net, but it must be paired with leadership, culture, and engagement efforts; technology alone cannot solve underlying behavioral and wellness issues.
Beyond Vape Detection with Tom McDermott
Q: What should a school leader ask before jumping to solutions?
Start with a threat and behavioral assessment to quantify the problem, understand its scale, and then design a comprehensive plan that addresses root causes, not just symptomatic fixes.
Beyond Vape Detection with Tom McDermott
Q: But from your perspective, why has it become a leadership issue for schools?
Because vaping isn't just about nicotine or health; the chemicals, addiction, and related disruptions collapse classroom attention and safety, requiring leaders to coordinate health, behavioral, and safety strategies across the entire school community.
Future 2: Building Human Advantage in an AI-Enabled World with Mike Miles
Q: How do AI tools fit into the Future 2 framework without making AI the core driver of learning?
AI literacy is about understanding how an AI-enabled world changes work and learning to use AI tools when appropriate, but the day remains anchored in human competencies such as communication, collaboration, and problem solving; AI serves as a tool to elevate human capabilities, not replace them.
Future 2: Building Human Advantage in an AI-Enabled World with Mike Miles
Q: What does Future 2 look like for a student day from morning to afternoon?
Future 2 combines core subject instruction in the morning with Art of Thinking and a variety of competency-aligned experiences in the afternoon, including 36 annual experiences linked to the ten competencies, plus after-school activities like sports and arts to ensure well-rounded development.
