If you want more clarity in what you are really trying to accomplish, morning pages is for you.  This specific type of journaling has blown my mind, and in this episode, I tell you exactly how and why I've been doing this over the past few weeks and the changes it's making.  I urge you to try this for at least a week.  If you do you'll quickly realize how much gunk and toxic garbage we have in our thoughts, holding us back, and causing fear of failure.  Feedback?  Ideas?  Email me at [email protected].

Being of the coolest people I know, Dr Cindy Price shares advice on how to deal with loss.  Sometimes we never know what to say or how to say it, when someone experiences the loss of a loved one.  I learned a lot doing this interview and I hope it helps you in some way.  I'm still reflecting on the "scars vs scabs" metaphor.  Please forgive some spots in the audio in this episode, occasionally the levels get a little off.  Last episode of 2020!  Looking forward to next year -thanks for listening.

When you teach a subject like physics you dig into the laws that make the physical world behave the way it does.  This question will come up when you start talking about gravity, space, universe and so on.  I've been asked this question a hundred times and I've found a way to answer this question in a non offensive way.  Thanks for listening everyone.  One more episode left in 2020.  I also got the sound right on this episode and I think it's my best recording.  

In this episode I interview one of the most extraverted people I know - our full time sub Denny Polvinale.  We discuss a wide range of topics including how to break out of your shell and have fun, even when it's uncomfortable, and one of the most insightful things I've heard when I ask Denny what his advice is for students.  It's my pleasure to bring a little Mr P into your life, and it's impossible to not be uplifted by this interview, so enjoy!  If you'd like to say thanks, consider giving the show a 5 star review on apple podcast and sharing it with someone that's never heard of the T.A.P.  - Sam

I wrapped up 4 student questions about teaching into one answer.  I've been saying this for over 20 years and my answer still stands.  If a teacher at least does these 2 things they will have more control in the classroom and better student learning.

Welcome to the final installment of the holiday shopping guide.   Part 2 focuses on what men should buy women for Christmas.  This one is way more complex than ep 56.  Enjoy and happy holidays.

It's the holiday shopping guide - part 1.  This is a humorous episode containing what I think women should buy men for Christmas.  Parts of the audio appeared in my YouTube video years ago.  Students ask me this question all the time around this time of year.  Remember it's supposed to be funny so relax and enjoy.  Sorry about the audio being a little strange.  Here is a link to the actual video  watch it after the podcast https://youtu.be/3vbA6S15Km4

This is an interview I did with my son's favorite science teacher David Mowry.  The interview is called "What is Science and why does it change?"  I think there are a lot of people that don't understand science is a fluid subject that is constantly changing, and with the pandemic this has driven people to lose trust in it.  Episode 55 next Tuesday gives numerous examples throughout history of how science evolves and changes.  Thanks for the support and faithful listening.  Happy holidays and if you still haven't binged all the shows I'll put a bunch of my favorites in the comments that you may have missed.  You will level up if you listen.
