Episode Synopsis

In this week's Power & Impact, I sit down with the remarkable thinker, Dr. Barbara Oakley, for a deep look at the science of how we learn, adapt, and tap into abilities we never knew we had. Barbara shares her extraordinary path from "hating math" to becoming one of the world's leading engineering educators, Together, we reveal what modern neuroscience now proves: the brain can change, heal, and grow at any age. From Army barracks to the South Pole, from breakthroughs in brain science to lessons from global education reform, this conversation offers a hopeful message for parents, teachers, leaders, and lifelong learners alike: We aren't stuck with the brain we started with — we can shape it, strengthen it, and use it to thrive.
