In this fourth episode in my entrepreneurship series, I focus on the Spirit Path, a play on words from a common entrepreneurial term - the Success Path. I explore benefits of the Success Path, as well as tensions with the underlying assumptions as both a creator and learner. Then, I explain why I will instead be shaping my teaching and learning through The Spirit Path - something that I perceive more accurately captures how learning, growth and transformation is constructed over time.
