David joins Rodrigo Canelas to discuss the common pitfalls of modern meditation and why many people are accidentally using the practice to create a "dream world" rather than engaging with reality.👤 About the GuestDavid Nichtern is a world-renowned meditation teacher in the lineage of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and a four-time Emmy award-winning composer and guitarist. He is the founder of Dharma Moon, an online mindfulness platform, and the author of several books, including Awakening from the Daydream: The Wheel of Life.

  • Will AI Replace Teachers? How it Will Expose a Broken Education System ft. Mackenzie Price

    Will AI Replace Teachers? How it Will Expose a Broken Education System ft. Mackenzie Price
    Feb 18 2026
    This episode features Mackenzie Price, the co-founder of Alpha School and an education innovator, discussing the radical transformation of the traditional schooling system. Price challenges the "time-based" industrial model of education, where one teacher leads a diverse group of students at a fixed pace, and proposes a personalized, technology-driven alternative.The conversation explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not a replacement for teachers, but a tool to unlock human potential. By leveraging AI for academic mastery in just two hours a day, Alpha School frees up the remaining time for students to develop critical life skills, entrepreneurship, and personal passions—turning school from "spinach" into a place kids actually love.👤 About the GuestMackenzie Price is a prominent education entrepreneur and the co-founder of Alpha School, based in Austin, Texas. Frustrated by the lack of personalization in her own children's top-tier public education, she launched Alpha to prove that kids are limitless when given the right tools. She is a vocal advocate for the "Guide" model of teaching and the use of adaptive technology to achieve top 1% academic results.✨ Highlights⏳ The 2-Hour Rule: Price explains that core academics (math, reading, science) can be mastered in just two hours a day using adaptive AI tutors, leaving the rest of the day for project-based learning.🤖 AI as a "Mastery Tutor": A look at how technology provides the one-on-one "Socratic" tutoring experience that was previously only available to the elite.🚀 Life Skills & Workshops: Beyond academics, Alpha students engage in high-stakes challenges, such as making $500 in profit from a business or completing a Spartan Race, to build resilience and leadership.👩‍🏫 From Teacher to Guide: Redefining the educator's role from "lecturer" to "emotional coach," focusing on motivation and connection rather than grading papers.🛡️ The Math Cliff & Foundational Gaps: Why traditional systems fail by moving students forward before they have mastered basic concepts, leading to "shaky towers of knowledge."📈 The "Sky vs. Weather" of Learning: Using AI to analyze team communication and positivity in real-time "escape room" tests.⏳ TIMESTAMPS0:00 – Misremembering the school experience2:29 – The frustration of "one-size-fits-all"5:50 – Socratic tutoring vs. Industrial mass-schooling8:36 – The crisis: 1/3 of kids at grade level11:57 – Unlocking limitless student potential16:41 – The "motivation" elephant in the room21:31 – Raising SAT scores by revisiting basics24:46 – Why AI won't replace great teachers31:39 – Moving from "Spinach" to "Disneyland"36:02 – Proximal development: The 85% accuracy rule41:11 – 8-year-old entrepreneurs and business profit46:31 – Impact at 16: From YouTube to US Congress53:47 – How the AI tutor eliminates the "hand-raise"62:04 – Public speaking: From cats to NYC open mics73:53 – Reversing the kindergarten enthusiasm curve👇 Connect with Mackenzie PriceInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/futureof_education/Web: https://www.2hourlearning.com/School: https://www.alpha.school/App: https://teachtales.com/👇 Connect with Rodrigo and Something BiggerLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rodrigocanelasInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rodrigocanelasTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rodrigo_canelasWeb: https://www.somethingbigger.comX: https://x.com/rodrigo_canelas

    How to Monetize Your Skills With Courses, Content and a Personal Brand ft. Kavit Haria

    Want to start or grow your podcast? I went from 3k to 400k YouTube subscribers in under 18 months - no ads. I share everything I’ve learned, honestly and practically, in my free newsletter. Subscribe here: https://rodrigocanelas.substack.com/subscribe🎙️ About the EpisodeIn this episode, Rodrigo Canelas sits down with Kavit Haria to deconstruct the mindset required to build a massive global impact. Kavit shares his personal evolution from a professional tabla player in London to the "operator and builder" behind some of the world’s most successful creator brands.The conversation explores why most creators fail to scale (the "Control Trap") and introduces the "Spiritual Playground"—the idea that business is not separate from one’s spiritual path, but rather the ultimate environment to practice virtues like equanimity, resilience, and detachment.👤 About the GuestKavit Haria is an entrepreneur, author of the bestseller Don’t Sleep On It, and the strategic force behind Jay Shetty’s global education ventures. As a "builder and operator," he oversees the Jay Shetty Certification School and The Daily Wisdom newsletter, which reaches nearly a million subscribers. Kavit specializes in "Full Growth"—a philosophy where business expansion and consciousness move in tandem.✨ Highlights🎹 From Artist to Entrepreneur: Kavit reflects on how his childhood training in Indian classical music (Tabla) taught him that talent alone is insufficient; you must learn the art of "sharing" your gift through marketing.🏗️ The Creator vs. The Operator: A breakdown of why creators must find a strong partner to handle systems and teams so they can stay in their "lane of genius."📈 The 4 Stages of Business: Kavit outlines a simplified blueprint for any craft: Attract, Nurture, Convert, and Refer.🧘 Business as a Spiritual Playground: How to use the daily pressures of leadership—dealing with "The Dip," revenue plateaus, and team management—as a way to practice ego-reduction and presence.🌌 The Sky and the Weather: A powerful closing metaphor on identity: recognizing that our emotions and business failures are just "weather," while our true self is the "sky" that remains constant.⏳ Timestamps0:00 – Who is Kavit Haria?
