In a society that overrates worldly achievements and conventional means of attaining success, where do non-traditional learners situate themselves in what seems to be the prevailing realm of rewards and punishments, carrots and sticks? Up to what point can they endure to suffer from societal pressures for not performing on or above par with the generally accepted standards of accomplishment, victory, and glory?

In this episode, join us as we unpack the story of Kathleen Poblete, Rodj Tabo, Diederik Stapel, and Gilderoy Lockhart and zero in on the importance of trusting the gradual process of learning and why building a healthy academic culture matters.
