Introduction

Ash Brandon is a middle school teacher with a mission of making school as motivating as games. Wherever you stand on video games, our conversation might just challenge you to rethink some of your assumptions about how they affect kids and adults too. Hey Ash, so great to meet you. I wish I had discovered you three decades ago, because it would have been extremely helpful. Maybe help some childhood guilt video games or something? Well, hopefully we can kind of maybe lay some foundation for that for other people. We look at topics like perfectionism, what it means to have enough anxiety and creativity to see where the culture may be pushing us away from the lives that truly fulfill us.
