Live from Mount Olympus is produced by the Onassis Foundation and distributed by PRX. Hey there listeners, it's Nima Gobeer. I'm the co-host of Mind Shift, the

podcast where we explore the future of learning and how we raise our kids. I don't

teach math, I don't teach

reading. I teach people. You'll hear from teachers, parents,

researchers, and students as we uncover innovative approaches in and out of the classroom.

It holds a lot about how we want students and young people to move through the world,

how we want to set them up for success.

Find Mindshift wherever you get your podcast.

Hephaestus is limping badly.
