This is Educating to Be Human, a new podcast where we'll explore what it means to be human in today's world.
We're going to learn how to be not just students of academics. We're going to learn how to be students of human development and self-worth. I'll be speaking with people who are committed to transformative change in education. We're always either affecting the environment or each other. It's never in a vacuum. Ordinary people creating extraordinary impact. The longest distance that most people travel is the 18 inches between their head and their heart.
Hosted by Lisa Petrides, produced by Helene Theros, recorded by Nathan Sherman and edited by Ty Mayer. Thanks for listening. (Transcribed by Sonix.ai - Remove this message by upgrading your Sonix account)
