Put this podcast in your yay folder!

This podcast is so much more than a podcast about education. It is so much more than a discussion of the student experience and how we can improve upon it for future generations. It is a rethinking of the human experience, how we interact with one another and can improve upon our tendencies, to be better at collaborating, creating spaces for each of us to live our best life while also allowing room for imperfection and celebrating little victories, individually and collectively.

The concepts that arise in each episode can often be applied outside of a classroom environment. Encouraging others, shaping our failures into something useful and more positive, understanding the importance of meeting people where they are, keeping a yay folder to reflect on our success and joys, prioritizing mental health, and, above all, recognizing the power that each of us has to impact those around us in a way that is meaningful and sometimes even life-changing. These are all tools we would do well to equip in our daily lives.

Will may be new to podcasting but you would never know it. As a host, he is down to earth and receptive while facilitating thoughtful conversation. The passion he brings to each discussion is reflected in his guests’ eagerness to share their stories. I look forward to what season two of this show will bring.
