In this episode, we kick things off with a matchstick brain teaser—and use it to spark a deeper conversation about creativity, education, and the power of thinking differently.
We dive into the inspiring work of Po-Shen Loh, a mathematician, educator, and social entrepreneur reshaping how we learn and teach in a world increasingly dominated by AI. From coaching the U.S. Math Olympiad team to building scalable, human-centered learning systems, Loh’s approach is all about cultivating originality and critical thinking—skills that are more valuable than ever.
You’ll hear how traditional education systems are falling behind, why mental flexibility beats rote memorization, and how Loh’s innovative teaching model empowers students, tutors, and even acting coaches in a win-win-win setup. Plus, we reflect on what makes education meaningful in a future where AI can do the “easy” stuff—and why the real value lies in our ability to think.
And stick around as we spotlight StoneFly’s role in securing the data that powers this new digital frontier.
