S3E2: Ryan

Season Three: Behind the Brain - Ever wonder what drives someone to study a particular aspect of a particular subject for so many years that they become a doctor in it? What's behind that passion and drive to pursue learning at the highest levels? We wanted to know, and we knew just who to ask.&nbsp;Discover the journeys, experiences and not-so-straight paths that led to the academic feats achieved by our PhD faculty. You'll learn not just how life can take us in unexpected directions, but how problem-solving, critical-thinking, determination, and creativity can make you more resilient in an (ever-more) unpredictable world. Season Two: The Wonderkind - Uncovering the hidden needs of bright and curious children, what it's really like to be 'the smart kid,' and what it actually takes to help these kids flourish - and why it matters. Season One: A scintillating, surprising journey through ideas of what it means to be a genius and how you can think like one too. Think Like a Genius is written, produced, and hosted by Sarah Meehan Sirk.&nbsp;
