Hi Reader, If you haven’t heard of Dwain Chambers, his story is fascinating. Dwain grew up in an abusive home in London, but used his love of athletics to create a better life. He eventually became the “world’s fastest teenager” and was the youngest-ever World Championship medalist in sprinting, earning medals in the 100 meters and 100-meter relay in 1999. He is an 8-time British champion, has competed in multiple Olympics, holds the European record in the 60-meter dash, and is the only man to ever run a sub-10 second time in the 100 meters in three different decades. However, his career also included a suspension for performance-enhancing drug use as part of the BALCO scandal that ensnared many well-known American athletes. Dwain is the latest remarkable guest to share his story on The Learning Bridge. He talks about his upbringing, his career, and his thoughts on education, the importance of role models, and what it takes to earn trust. Listen to the episode: Dwain Chambers on The Learning Bridge About The Learning Bridge: The Learning Bridge is hosted by Richard Gerver, one of the world’s leading thinkers on human potential, leadership, and organizational transformation. He is a former teacher and school leader who was called The Walt Disney of The Classroom by the UK media and has received honors including a UNESCO award for leadership and innovation. Richard, a friend and protégé of the late Sir Ken Robinson, has written four global bestsellers on change and creating the future of education, and has become one of the top speakers on leading change — working with Steve Wozniak, The Dalai Lama, Microsoft, Google, Visa, and more. In The Learning Bridge, he presents deep conversations with thoughtful, inspirational individuals from around the globe and all walks of life, presenting compelling ideas to create a better future for the next generation.

Hi Reader, Last night we had our first session of the SchoolX Book Study. Wow. It was great. In fact, it was so good, many people had great things to share from it. The big takeaway? Practical, applicable, we can do stuff right now. I make a lot of mistakes, but I promise you, you’re going to have time, space, and opportunity to APPLY what you learn, right away. I’m pretty sure this is my superpower when it comes to presenting: practical application of the content. Not only does “sit and get”...
