This then hurts our ability to be MORE ambitious long-term. In this story, we explore the idea of creative streaks and learn to reconcile our short-term and long-term projects and aspirations.

Learning to be Memorable for Memorable Learning

Unthinkable is the exact podcast I needed to begin my own “quest” into what makes memorable and meaningful learning. Jay’s podcast, and particularly the way he illustrates concepts, has led me to the conclusion that teaching and content creation are one and the same. Each episode is an example of excellent teaching in an of itself. Thank you for your ongoing work!

Jay is truly making something that matters. Why? Because every time I listen to his show, I'm inspired to be make something with depth, importance, substance, resonance. To make something that matters. His show covers topics relevant to everyone creating in the Creator Economy. And he has the talent and integrity to build a legacy of motivated creators who can make a difference.
