We're bringing a fresh, holistic perspective to the education world. This system has a lot of moving parts, and while the players may have different personal goals, we’re all on the same team! Join us as we invite students, teachers, administrators, coaches, and parents to grab a seat at the (cafeteria) table and enrich our understanding of what it means to learn.
What happens when the classroom simply isn't built for how your brain is wired, in more ways than one? In this episode, Savanna Goldstein introduces us to the complexity of the brain in multiple dimensions. Through her research at Gallaudet University, the world's only university built by and for Deaf people, Savanna shares the power of reframing perceived "deficits" into unique and valuable perspectives on the world. Armed with both vast knowledge and deep compassion, she aims to translate the often inaccessible world of academia into tangible benefits for her community.

Spring Break with David and L
[But wait, where is ep. 21? We had a live episode on Facebook Live! Our goal is to stream on TikTok next time, so if you wanna see us there, be sure to follow @davidnash970 on TikTok!]
Life is skittles and life is beer. In this episode, cosmopolitans David and L return from their travels with stories about textiles, invisible bookbags, mapping out the future, and California traffic.

Breaking the Cycles of OCD with Lindsay Cohen
Have you ever heard a stranger, friend, or family member say, "I'm sooo OCD" when what they mean is, "I like to keep things organized"? Have you seen characters on TV fret over the tiniest speck of dirt or a hair out of place? In this episode, David and L welcome back Lindsay Cohen to break down what Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder really looks like, how it impacts every aspect of daily life, and what people living with OCD (and, crucially, their support networks) can do to build resilience over time.
