About the Episode

LifeBlood NURTURE: We talked about an EdTech platform that centralizes learning for the sake of helping kids flourish, enjoy learning and improving personalized learning and educational continuity. 

We discussed Chris’ experience as a teacher responsible for over 150 students and the challenges and frustrations of everything outside of simply teaching the kids that was required, and how there wasn’t one place to make it all happen, which led to the founding of his company.

We talked about the long list of things teachers are responsible for, systematizing them in the name of being able to spend more time focusing on the students and helping to unlock the potential of each child.  

We discussed the changes that have taken place in recent memory and how there’s an opportunity to embrace technology in order to do a better job of developing personalized learning and improving continuity from one grade and teacher to the next for a child. 

We talked about the risk we’re facing of an entire generation of kids who could get turned off from learning, which would rob them of becoming life-long learners, something we all aspire to being with Chris Hull, CoFounder and Chief Product Officer at Otus, the first EdTech platform to centralize learning management, assessments and data for administrators, teachers, students and families.  Listen to learn how and why to start each day off thinking about trying to be your best, even if you might fail!
