I'm so grateful that Nishi Langhorne and Lindsey Fisher organized #SBTSPodcastClub. It's taught me to practice mindfulness and be more present in the moment. Thanks to both of you!

We're born curious & creative. Then something happens: School. We ask fewer questions, more interested in right answer. Let's change this
Students must have choice in today's classroom. Choice leads to motivation, which leads to empowerment, which leads to deeper understanding
Over 1/3 of today's employees view working remotely as a right. Let's give kids opportunities to work/collaborate as homework #sbtskickoff
