Ep. 97: Ideas and Quotes worth (re)Considering

Ep. 97: Ideas and Quotes worth (re)Considering

Did Maslow get it wrong? Does writing poetry make us brave? Are we needlessly nailing ourselves to the cross?

Maybe.

In this episode, Brian and Kasey discuss educational phrases and mindsets, work through a few powerful quotes, and discuss if Maslow should consider giving up the title of GOAT.

If you have any that you'd like us to (re)consider, let us know!

Ideas and Quotes worth (re)Considering:

- Be data-informed, not data-driven

- Don't find a problem for every solution, lest you become the problem, not the solution.

- "Let me know if you need anything."

- Get down from your cross. We could use the wood

- Maslow is an idiot (according to Kasey)

- “Does writing poetry make you brave? It is a good question to ask. I think making anything is a brave thing to do. Not like fighting brave, obviously. But a kind that looks at a horrible situation and doesn’t crumble. Making anything assumes there’s a world worth making it for.” - Everything Sad is Untrue, by Daniel Nayeri
