As you will hear in this episode, we reference two other episodes related to academics:

• Cal Newport on APs, Worklife Balance, and How to be a High School Superstar (https://heightsforum.org/podcast/forming-deep-workers-part-ii/)
• Joe Cardenas and Gerard Babendreier on the Strategic Enterprise of Study (https://heightsforum.org/podcast/the-strategic-enterprise-of-upper-school-study-a-k-a-homework/)
