About Is This Working?!
What if the most interesting thing about work isn’t what we do—but what it does to us? Is This Working?! dives into meaningful work and the messy humans who do it. As AI reshapes industries and upends old definitions of success, social entrepreneur and Stanford GSB lecturer Connor Diemand-Yauman talks with extraordinary people about both sides of the story: the outer work (what they built, how they pivoted, the tactics that actually worked) and the inner work(the therapy, the doubt, the failure) it took to get there. Because when the world is changing this fast, maybe these stories are the only way to know if any of this is actually working.

For a long time, the answer to a lot of the how do we fix ed has been technology. How do we keep on spending at the rate that we're spending and getting less and less results? The answer always, how do you resolve that tension? The answer always somehow or another wonders back to technology. Hasn't proven to be true yet. However, I guess I probably am more inclined than not to believe that this time is different. I think the work that lots of people have done, maybe Sao Kahn as the biggest exemplar, but there are lots, are doing would suggest to me that the capabilities of AI and the people who use the AI to help our kids, but a general reorientation to what a classroom looks like and how these tools can work. raise up all boats.
