Join us on the Only Human with Dr. Tony Kern podcast this week for our first-ever response to a viewer question about the current state of education and learning.

Join us on the next one when Tony will discuss the power of mentorship in learning and education.

Battling the insidious force known as the Complacency Doctrine can be a struggle if we don’t have the right tools. In this week’s Only Human with Dr. Tony Kern podcast, join Tony in the fight as we discuss the importance of discovering a personal purpose.

Complacency kills; sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly and progressively. Welcome back to episode 4 of the Only Human with Dr. Tony Kern podcast. On today’s episode, join Tony as he discusses the oft-sinister roots of complacency in modern society; how it grows in the individual through distraction, deception, polarization, hard-headedness, and shallow thinking; and finally, the three powerful means we have at our disposal to disrupt complacent thinking and get back to what’s truly important. 

In a world where artificial intelligence can generate thousands of ideas in the blink of an eye, is there any room for human ingenuity any longer? On this episode of Only Human with Dr. Tony Kern, we explore where ideas come from; how they are expressed, refined, and reinvented; and why human beings are still thesource of the best ideas. Our creativity and outside-the-box thinking are what make our ideas powerful and important—so keep working on yours!

For thousands of years, mankind has hidden behind the cliché derived from Cicero’s famous quote that “to err is human;” a white flag of surrender to foreseeable—and preventable—failures. But the cost from following this path of apathy and complacency is far too great to continue unaddressed. Join us for this second episode of Only Human with Dr. Tony Kern, where we discuss the fallacy of “unavoidable error” and learn to take the fight into our own daily lives.

Join us for the inaugural episode of Only Human with Dr. Tony Kern, where we discuss the true nature of heroism. What does it mean to be a hero in the modern world? Who should we recognize as our own heroes and why does it matter? We learn about the small acts of character and action that prepare people to rise to the occasion and discover that heroes arrive at the critical points in their destiny already prepared to meet the challenges that will make them heroic.
