It's been forever, but I had a wake up call. It usually is the case that we don't realize we are asleep until it's too late.

Episode 4 - We Want It NOW! - Instant Gratification

In today's world we are accustomed to getting what we want right away. The internet has fundamentally changed the way we do everything. There is a struggle between instant gratification and delayed gratification that is difficult to navigate, though we usually understand what the right decision is. In this episode I talk about what it is, how we are seeing its effects, and what we can do to help ourselves through these kinds of decisions. This is almost a part 2 to episode 2 on making decisions! Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Episode 3 - Complacency & The Education System

This is quite a short episode but I wanted to share some pretty immediate thoughts I had about how complacency affects us and the education system. Complacency is dangerous, and is on my mind a lot. I could do an entire episode on a day in the life or something where I go through any number of the wild things we have to deal with as teachers, but I think I fit a lot in just 14 minutes so I hope you enjoy! I appreciate you all! Please leave any feedback or send me a DM with your thoughts!

Episode 2 - Making Decisions Is Complicated, Nostalgia, and Living in the Present

In this episode I discuss Maslow's hierarchy of needs, including how this is relevant to making decisions, why it's important to live in the present, and how nostalgia is a good and bad thing. I am feeling better with this episode and I was really excited to talk about this so again, don't forget to rate and review and leave any feedback!
