Continuing our masterclass recording, we discuss the difference between kind and wicked learning environments, and how that distinction helps us understand how we can prepare to make the most of GenAI.

I also interview an expert in the field, Pavlo Denisov, who wrote a book about how students can use AI to learn and to make themselves more valuable in the open market.

The fears we have today about Gen AI are not new-- society had the same concerns 30 years ago when the internet was new, and 40 years before that when the first calculators became available to the world.

But just as the internet lowered the barriers to entry into the business world and created countless millionaires, the opportunities coming from GenAI mastery will dwarf the wealth created by the internet decades ago.

Listen in to learn about these ideas and the beginning of my conversation with the head of AI in Asia for Google, Renee Lo.

Too many of us approach life with the philosophy of "play not to lose".
Once, when I was in college, I was able to play on a intramural basketball team. Our team made it all the way to championship game. At half time, we were losing that game so badly that we decided to change our approach.
Instead of playing safe, we were going to play without any fear.
Amazingly, we came all the way back and even won the game at the buzzer.

But playing not-to-lose takes away your power.
Playing not-to-lose means playing safe.
And ironically, when you play that way, ironically, you often lose anyway.

The college prep equivalent is making all your decisions through the filter of "what is most impressive to an admissions officer"?

Listen in to learn why that is the wrong question to answer, and what you can do instead to play to win.

This Wednesday, October 11th, at 8pm eastern time, I will be hosting a masterclass to discuss how we can help our teens take advantage of the many opportunities of GenAI, and also avoid the pitfalls.

I'm excited to go into detail about how humans and computers will be working together in the future to solve the great problems of the world, and how focusing on the wrong things can become a major tax on even the most ambitious students.

The masterclass free but requires registration.
