Learning on Fire - Education from sharing wisdom not testing

Today I look back at the first 25 episodes of the Learning on Fire Podcast.

I say a big thank to my guests who have shared:

'The most important learning and educational moments that shaped their lives and enabled them to live with a sense of purpose, meaning and significance.'

I talk about some of the books, podcasts, films, songs and resources that have had an influence on them, all of which are shared on the show notes of each episode.

I like to think of the podcast as a half hour conversation where the interviewee shares the most important things they have learned in life that they would wish to pass on to the next generation.
