Brendan Hoyle is the Director of Arts and Innovation at Norfolk Collegiate, and he recently wrote a great article, "Rebranding Teaching," which serves as a guide for our conversation.

I met Stewart recently and read his book Learning to Dance in the Darkness about what seems to be a relentless journey through 20 years of tragedy and challenges. In this conversation, we talk about his discoveries about growing resilience, remaining hopeful, and how to invite others (even children and our students) into the journey with us.

Check out his website and podcast at Resilient Souls.

Jacob Kantor, the DODO of JK K12, cohosted a conversation with me prior to The AI Show at ASU-GSV, which included Fran Rosenberg and Michel Faliski. So we thought we'd discuss what we are discovering about AI, EdTech, and growth in this space as we seek better outcomes for students.

Jaime Bissa is the Director of the Center for Learning and Innovative Pedagogy at Baptist Health Sciences University in Memphis and a founding member of the Human Intelligence Movement.

In this conversation we discuss AI, innovation, and pedagogy as we rethink together what learning could look like.

I met Dr. Nina Shah on an MMRF trek through Iceland with myeloma patients, caregivers, doctors, and researchers. She shortly after became my doctor while I did an experimental CarT trial and through the process became a friend. She is currently Global Head of Multiple Myeloma Clinical Development and Strategy at Astrazeneca where she seeks better treatments and ultimately a cure for myeloma patients like me.

I hope you enjoy this conversation about innovation and leadership.

The AI Show at ASU-GSV is next week, and I had the opportunity to talk with the co-founder, Fran Rosenberg, and the assistant VP of the AI Show Program, Michel Faliski, about the event's genesis and how to make the most of it.

Hope to see you in San Diego on April 5-7.
