About this episode
What does education really mean to the average human? Is it opening textbooks or listening to lectures, then memorizing facts that you’ll forget 10 minutes after taking a test, or information you can apply in the real world? Matthew Wallden , the CHEK Institute’s Global Head of Education Development, returns to the podcast to talk about real education, the kind of development that changes the way you interface with life and the world surrounding you in this deep Living 4D conversation.
