037 – S2 E1 – Emotional intelligence, self-control, and the freedom to forge our own paths

homeroom is an international podcast bridging the education gap between the classroom and the living room by starting conversations impacting the next generation. In this episode, I speak with Jae—an educator, journalist, project manager, and dad—about his education journey spanning multiple countries including the United States, Japan, Russia, and South Korea. We talk about his earliest memories of learning to manage and harness the power of anger, and how some traumatic experiences throughout his life tempered his control over his emotions. We also talk about the future of education, and what he hopes the road will look like for his daughters.
