    S5 E5: Lara Stafford - How to Make Money by Doing Stuff for Free

    Who knew that when you provide great stuff to people, for free, they decide to pay you for it anyway?! Lara Stafford was a science teacher, and then she started something in lockdown which is still running now - free, livestreamed science lessons for home-educated kids (of which there were a lot in lockdown) through her Facebook group and YouTube channel, Theatre of Science. We all did crazy things in that strange two month period didn't we... and this was Lara's. Except, she didn't want to stop! So many people seemed to be enjoying her lessons, and so many home educated kids stuck around past the lockdown period, that she wondered if she could ask people for a few pounds to support her work... and that turned into a full-time income. So, she now still streams free lessons to the internet, that anyone can watch each week (including recordings), but she now makes her living out of the donations from those who appreciate her work. What a way to change the world, and make sure you can put food on the table! Check out this episode to hear the full story, to meet the lovely Lara, and to be inspired to do your own thing for free, too.   Meet Lara: Theatre of Science website: ⁠https://www.theatreofscience.co.uk/⁠ Facebook group: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/OfficialTheatreofScience/⁠ YouTube channel: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/theatreofscience⁠   Come say hi and join the Limitless Community!

    S5 E4: How Education Start Ups came to be

    The change I'm making in the world... how I launched Education Start Ups with Jo Symes and why it wasn't always smooth sailing. It's really easy, I find, to look at what others are doing from the outside and wonder how they ever managed it, and how they have the time/energy/motivation/skills/winning personality/whatever to make it work. It's often hard to see inside the reality of what happened, the late nights, the emotions, the procrastination, the self-doubt, the help and support required from others, and all the times when they thought it just wasn't worth it or it wasn't possible. I always wanted to share the reality of my journey on this podcast, and that is what this episode is all about. How I love the fact I'm finally doing something that feels like it's making a difference in the world, but that getting here, and still going forward, is never plain sailing!

    S5 E3: Piers Cross - The Compassionate Leader

    Have you ever been to boarding school, or know someone who has? In this episode, Piers Cross discusses the systemic challenges in the boarding school experience for so many young people and the impact that has on them as adults. We talk about the struggle to develop the skills to emotionally connect with others, and what that means when we see how many of our political and business leaders went through boarding school. What does this lack of connection mean for making leadership decisions that affect hundreds, if not thousands or even millions of people? Check out this episode as we talk about the antidote - compassion, connection, vulnerability, and learning to feel your feelings.

    S5 E2: Robbie Swale - The Power to Choose

    How much more could you achieve if you felt like you had the power to choose everything in life? In this episode, we meet Robbie Swale (again!), life coach, podcaster, and author, who shares the optimistic view of life, and we talk about such an important topic... how we can choose the way we interact with life. As changemakers, we will often have to overcome setbacks, battle the status quo, and have to potentially make really difficult choices between what we choose to do with our time, with no right answer, and the ability to choose how we approach these situations rather than feeling like they are "done to us" is so powerful. So, come join us for this great conversation, and if you want to continue the conversation with me and other changemakers, also come and join the Limitless Community over on ⁠www.limitlesscommunity.co.uk⁠! You can get behind-the-scenes content, give me your ideas for future podcast episodes, and support my work so I can keep bringing you more great interviews.

  6. S4 E6: Interview with Devin Carberry and learners from Learnlife, who are living the free learning life every day

    S4 E6: Interview with Devin Carberry and learners from Learnlife, who are living the free learning life every day

    What if you could demonstrate your skills and learning through projects you're passionate about instead of classes? Learnlife was born from a deep desire to free learning from the constrains of the standard classroom. Devin and his co-founders visited and researched 100 different schools across the globe and picked out what works and why to turn it into the first Learnlife hub in Barcelona. Now with multiple hubs and training delivered to teachers across the globe, Learnlife wants to spread the word that the future of education will not be taught - the future will guide, facilitate and help learners follow their own passions. In this episode, we are privileged to get to meet and talk with Devin and three of the learners at the hub, Sol, Lorenzo and Pep. We hear all about how the hub runs day-to-day, what the learners are working on and why it is such a different experience to a standard curriculum-based school. Check out Devin's new book, The Future Will Not Be Taught. Find out more about the Learnlife hubs and training. Follow Pep's plastic recycling project on Insta. Get inspired!   I'd love to hear from you, get in touch :) X (Twitter): @alexoneill LinkedIn: alexoneill17 Facebook: alexoneill17 Instagram: alexoneill_limitless Website: www.limitlesscommunity.co.uk  The music in this episode is Indestructible by Noah Smith The episode was edited together by Ali Walker Audio

    S4 E5: Interview with Joel Shaljean, trainer and ex-teacher who is showing teachers what poor behaviour really means

    Are we looking at behaviour management the wrong way? Behaviour management is a topic all to itself when it comes to teaching, but what if we're looking at it the wrong way? Managing behaviour in a classroom often centres around rewards and punishments, from sticker charts and rainclouds for young children, to exclusion rooms and detentions for seniors, all of which can be short-lived and hard to implement. Joel Shaljean is a therapeutic trainer in Essex and worked as a deputy head in a special school for a number of years. In this episode, he shares his knowledge about seeing behaviour as a result of underlying thoughts, feelings and experiences and instilling pro-social skills in young people. Behaviour management policies in schools can have unintended negative consequences and Joel shows us an alternative way to consider how we can look after our young people in the school environment (and at home). If you'd like to get in touch with Joel find him on LinkedIn. Enjoy today's episode!   I'd love to hear from you, get in touch :) X (Twitter): @alexoneill LinkedIn: alexoneill17 Facebook: alexoneill17 Instagram: alexoneill_limitless Website: www.limitlesscommunity.co.uk  The music in this episode is Indestructible by Noah Smith The episode was edited together by Ali Walker Audio

    S4 E4: Interview with Dr James Mannion, education researcher who wants to change the school system

    Education in the UK is "a system that is deeply unhealthy in many ways" Dr. James Mannion started his career as a teacher to change the way education was embodied in schools. However, he realised that the system was so outdated and broken that the teaching workload made it extremely hard to enact any real widespread change. So he launched Rethinking Education, an organisation that supports schools through change initiatives, challenges the status quo on a podcast, and brings education reformers together through online forums and real-life conferences. In this episode, we cover why the way the school system is set up currently just doesn't work to create healthy, lifelong learners, why fear is a problem, and we dive into "Implementation Science" which looks at how schools (and other organisations) can create change that lasts. Rethinking Education website James' website James on X (Twitter) Get inspired and enjoy!   I'd love to hear from you, get in touch :) X (Twitter): @alexoneill LinkedIn: alexoneill17 Facebook: alexoneill17 Instagram: alexoneill_limitless Website: www.limitlesscommunity.co.uk  The music in this episode is Indestructible by Noah Smith The episode was edited together by Ali Walker Audio
