Manage episode 490576967 series 3648139
In this energizing episode of We Are All Awesome Show, powered by WiddyUP, we’re joined by Chris, an insightful educator and leader on the cutting edge of AI and learning, who reminds us that personal growth often starts where comfort ends. From parenting lessons to classroom takeaways, Chris shares how “doing it scared” becomes a mindset that builds resilience, encourages risk-taking, and fuels authentic learning in a fast-changing world.
Together with hosts Will and Randy, the conversation digs into the intersection of nature vs. nurture, the art of teaching agency, and how tech like AI can deepen, not dilute, human connection and purpose. Whether you’re an educator, parent, or student, this episode offers a playbook for fostering meaningful growth, embracing fear as excitement, and unlocking the unique potential within every learner.

What you’ll learn:
- Courage ≠ Fearlessness: The feeling of fear and excitement are biologically similar, lean into that overlap.
- Agency Can Be Taught: Risk-taking and personal agency aren’t fixed traits; they can be nurtured with the right support.
- Try, Reflect, Iterate: Success doesn’t require having it all figured out, treat life like an experiment, not a final exam.
