Kirk Spahn on AI and the Future of Learning

Episode notes

Kirk Spahn has spent 25 years building schools around passion and character - long before AI became the conversation everyone's having. What struck me in talking with him is that he's not afraid of AI or naive about it. He's asking a different question than most educators: instead of "How do we protect students from AI?" he's asking "How do we prepare students to think critically while using it?" His framework - passion-based learning, character development, real-world application - actually gets stronger with AI, not weaker. If you're a parent, educator, or leader trying to figure out what education should actually look like right now, this is essential listening.
