This show examines how learning intersects with media, technology, and the shifting landscape of work. Across recent conversations, guests explore the role of AI in classrooms, how data and neuroscience inform instruction, and bold bets on education leadership, policy, and workforce readiness. The host consistently surfaces practical strategies for schools, districts, and edtech teams—ranging from founder-led product design to scalable teacher development—while inviting thinkers who challenge traditional schooling models and champion innovative approaches.
