NEW PERSPECTIVES, NEW WAYS OF THINKING 

 

Journey to the inner depths of the human mind as explored by Jonah Lantto and Kris Raub. You're invited to take the ride with us. Compelling and often times funny questions feed the soil in this ever growing tree of abstract, philosophical exploration. 

Explore, laugh, and interact with us as we're joined by fascinating and inspiring guests on the Good Talk to share their stories with the world. After all, what makes us human - who we are, what we are, and what we may become - is the catalyst which drives us to share the Good Talk Podcast with you. 

Now more than ever, this world and it's inhabitants need new perspectives - new ways of thinking about both new challenges that are arising during this critical time in history as well as the persisting issues that have held us from attaining our true potential for far too long. This is a podcast that looks to expose those new perspectives and inspire those new ways of thinking.

We challenge the standard concepts of public education in this powerful episode of the Good Talk with guests Derek Olson and James Owens. Our focus throughout this episode emphasizes the idea of a stronger emotional and psychological preparation for students. In the midst of packing an almost overwhelming amount of information into the minds of our youth....We ask the questions - how much of it is relevant? Are we doing enough to prepare them as adults...or even as better humans in general?
