Agency

My conversation with American educator, entrepreneur and author Ian Rowe

With school back in session for the year, it’s a good time to take a look at the lessons that we’re passing on to the next generation of children.

Are we giving them the tools that they need to succeed in life?

My guest on the program today thinks there’s room for improvement. And his new book takes aim at the “blame the system” and “blame the victim” cultural narratives that he believes impede kids’ ability to recognize, and harness, their own agency.
