The Beginner's Mindset
from Unthinkable with Jay Acunzo · host Jay Acunzo
We hear from education entrepreneur and former urban designer Saba Ghole, whose own education journey has led her to rethink and rebuild how we can teach young people. She cofounded NuVu Studio, creating an educational space for imagination and innovation to help build creative, critical thinkers and problem solvers. Writer and researcher Molly Donovan dives into the messiness that is growing up, learning to judge and chasing being right. She explores how we can start dismantling that need and instead chase the next messy rep, the possibility of something new, different, and maybe, the beginning of something else. So how do we, with past experiences and habits, with routines and outside pressure, summon the beginner’s mindset on demand? How can we build in some sense of possibility and curiosity into our already busy days? And how can we use the beginner’s mindset to create work that is thoughtful, innovative, and imaginative?* * *KEEP LEARNING + SUPPORT THE SHOWSubscribe to my free newsletter: jayacunzo.com/newsletterBuy a book: jayacunzo.com/booksConsider my course on podcast premise development, Growable Shows (for new or existing shows): jayacunzo.com/growable-showsHire me to speak to your organization or event: jayacunzo.com/keynotes * * *VOICES & MENTIONS IN THE SHOW:Saba Ghole: https://twitter.com/sabaraniNuVu Studio: https://cambridge.nuvustudio.com/Molly Donovan: https://twitter.com/MHDonovanShunryu Suzuki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunry%C5%AB_Suzuki* * *THANKS FOR LISTENING AND SUPPORTING!Keep making what matters.-Jay
