Hey Designers,

In this episode we get to talk to Rob Dunlop, the author of Strive for Happiness in Education.

Rob and I talk about how to rekindle the love for teaching and education, and how to move past the fear of losing the joy of coming to school each day.  Rob shares his personal journey of peaks and valleys and how he turned a valley into the peak that became his book Strive for Happiness in Education.

You will enjoy this conversation as much as I did.  Rob is filled with passion and kindness and is a beautiful example of how your passion project can bring you motivation and happiness.


If you love the investigation that we have been doing around the LEADER mindset, I’m offering an intro course to the LEADER mindset called Project You: Design Thinking for a Better Life.  It’s similar to what we have been doing here on the podcast, but it includes a community and feedback and help from me to you personally.  I’ve collaborated with Poppd.co to bring you this course.  It’s a new platform to explore professional learning for educators by educators. 

If you are ready to go all in…
