This is a very special episode - coming off the back of the Luminosity Youth Summit last week, delivering my Be The Change Masterclass - and it got me reflecting about the last 10 years that I've been involved in the Summit - and how and why I first got involved...
It was working directly with high school students in a group called 'The Think Tank' which was created to help try and transform the system from the inside out.
It was pretty clear that students (and many teachers) were slowing dying - languishing in the system as it stood. It broke my heart to see so much potential being wasted and I turned to the kids for answers.
They came back with TWO clear objectives to reform traditional learning.
They wanted more REAL-LIFE learning experiences - they wanted to have all the facts and figures and dates and details that they were being asked to learn CONTEXTULISED - made relevant and real.
And they wanted more inspiration. They were tired of feeling like school was a place that sucked the life out of them - instead they wanted to leave the place feeling that their hope and optimism had been elevated!
That was how I went looking, and found Luminosity.
It was also how I first came across Michael Crossland!
One of the most inspiring individuals that I've ever come across!
A man who has shared the stage with Tony Robbins and the Dali Lama, and whose life-documentary on Australian Story has been watched more than 4 million times!
Listen to his amazing story...
In my book Michael says...
"Success is about how big your heart is, not how big your house is!" I share his and dozens of other wise words from hundreds of life-pilgrims I've met along the way.
