Storytelling

We’ve been taught everything except how to be human. In a world obsessed with output, Human School is where we study what happens within. This podcast was born from a journal entry during a breakdown. A reminder that struggle isn’t weakness - it’s instruction.

Human School reframes pain as purpose, productivity as presence, and leadership as inner clarity. We’re building the education we never go... more

  • Real, authentic, helpful and full of life

    Originally came across this podcast for the Tyler Hubbard episode. After tuning in I really connected with Miles and the style of conversation he has. It’s always fun to hear the life side of a popular music artist, but I also began to resonate with the psychology and faith side as well. Since then I’ve listened to almost every episode and can’t recommend enough. It’s refreshing, a format that’s unlike many out there and a nice change of pace. Check it out!

Unfortunately I will need to stop and sit somewhere quiet for the duration of this podcast in order to hear it. Which is not my usual routine when listening podcasts. Most podcasts have plenty of audio strength, and in fact may not even need ... more
