What if schools prepared young people not just to pass exams, but to live fulfilled, resilient, and happy lives?In this inspiring conversation, I sit down with Max Marshall, a former teacher who left the classroom after 10 years to disrupt an outdated education system. Max now champions a vision for schools that prioritise emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-confidence over rote learning.Together, we explore how redefining success for children could transform not just education, but the future mental health of our society. From Habits for Happiness to emotional tolerance, Max shares practical ideas for parents, teachers, and leaders and why teaching children to manage their emotions could ultimately save lives.This is one of the most important and game-changing conversations I’ve had on the podcast to date.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction – Fixing what schools miss02:30 Max defines success: from popularity to fulfilment07:00 The danger of external validation & social media10:20 Teaching intrinsic success to children15:00 Rethinking competition, failure & resilience23:00 Why schools must change: outdated curriculum27:30 The problem with SATs and measuring success32:40 Emotional intelligence vs academic intelligence40:00 What children really need to thrive in life47:30 Pushback from schools & systemic barriers55:00 Habits for Happiness – practical daily routines1:05:00 Preparing children for secondary school & life1:20:00 Choosing who you want to become1:40:00 What success looks like for the next generation1:52:00 Closing reflections & the Different Hats card🎧 LISTEN TO MORE DIFFERENT HATS EPISODES:👉 https://www.different-hats.co.uk/podcast🔗 Connect with Max MarshallWebsite: https://lifeeducationcoaching.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifeeducationwithmax/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/max-marshall-life-education/Follow Max here 👉 https://linktr.ee/maxmarshall.life.education💡 If this episode resonated with you, please like, share, and comment below.
