Into the Unknown Podcast with Jeremy Swick

I'm Kate, and I joined Jeremy Swick on the Into the Unknown Podcast to explore whether our education system and modern workplace are still fit for purpose. Together, we discuss how traditional approaches can unintentionally overlook neurodivergent thinkers, why it's time to rethink how we learn and work, and how embracing different ways of thinking can unlock creativity, innovation and success. It's a thought-provoking conversation about challenging the status quo and creating environments where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
