I used to think education was the key to change.

I got a masters and taught for years in formal education.

I loved teaching middle school.

I learned formal education was backwards in supporting the growth of these humans.

I was fascinated by the education ecosystem, where the craft of teaching & learning meets the money.

How do creators create the future of education, and how do they earn a living selling that into a non-money driven ecosystem?

How do education leaders choose their strategy, the tools and which stakeholders get them.

I include parents in this group of leaders and stakeholders.

How do educators keep their fire’s lit? They’re also our country’s warriors.

Working in education confirmed for me - people inherently want to grow.

This growth happens when learners tap their intrinsic motivation - their inner fire.

I had hoped formal education was pushing this objective.

I got frustrated by balancing my target and the fomal system I had to play in.

The thread of my passion, and probably more collectin calling it an obsession, is exploring how and why do people change.
