#136: T.G.I.TED - Exploring the Call to Learn, Teach, and Maintain Perpetual Curiosity

Sep 8 2023 • 7 mins

You reach a point in life, and you think to yourself, I’ve done everything I want to do in life. But have you? I just watched a TED talk that’s made me re-evaluate how I look at what’s mine to do. And I talk about it in today’s episode.

Clifford Stoll is an astronomer, physicist, and educator extraordinaire. In this episode, l venture into the depths of his dynamic TED Talk, "The Call to Learn."

Today, I share my three major takeaways that reshaped my perspective on teaching, learning, and the beauty of perpetual curiosity.

In this episode, I also mention a FREE four-video training series I created that will help you develop a sense of what's next for you.

As an empty nester parent, I know there’s a tendency to look back to what we’ve accomplished. We raised a kid or kids, and send them out into the world. But I’m not going to be a parent again. And I don’t want to sit around and wait to be grandparent. I want to go out and do something else. If you’re like me, you might be trying to decide what’s next for yourself. I’ve created this four-part video series where I talk about how to figure out what’s next for you. It’s free:
