The Root Cause

from Unscripted Intelligence · host The Human Intelligence Movement

🎙️Unscripted Intelligence | Proudly partnering with HeyBodhi Guest: Dr. Jim Masters, Neesha Nanda + Samantha Gleason Host: Arvin Ross + Dr. Michelle Ament Presented by: The Human Intelligence Movement The Root Cause | Culture, Burnout, and What Actually Fixes Education Nobody fixed a broken culture with a new program. In this episode of Unscripted Intelligence, we sit down with Dr. Jim Masters, Neesha Nanda, and Samantha Gleason to dig into what's actually at the root of the burnout crisis, the culture crisis, and the retention crisis in education. And it's not what most people think. Dr. Masters took a district from 124th to 19th in climate rankings. Not with an initiative. With relationships. With three questions. With the radical act of actually listening. Neesha and Sam built HeyBodhi because they kept watching AI get used to make a broken system run faster, when what educators needed was something that helped them show up human. Regulated. Connected. Whole. When teachers thrive, students thrive. The data proves it. The heart already knows it. 🎙️About the Hosts: Michelle Ament and Arvin Ross come from different generations, experiences, and disciplines—but their unlikely partnership is built on mutual curiosity, deep listening, and a shared belief in the power of human connection. Their conversations are real, unscripted, and often challenging—in all the right ways. Dr. Michelle Ament | Co-President of the Human Intelligence Movement & Chief Academic Officer at ProSolve. Arvin Ross | Co-Founder of ProSovle, educator, speaker, and adaptability enthusiast.
