Ivy League Prep Academy Podcast

I listened to Steven Gardner’s Ivy League Prep Academy podcast and I really enjoyed it. As a student, it felt super helpful and honestly pretty motivating. What I liked most was how natural the conversation felt. It did not sound like a lecture at all. It felt like you were just listening in on a real discussion between people who care about what they are talking about. That made it way easier to stay engaged and actually understand the ideas. The topic of design thinking and creativity stood out to me a lot. Steven and his guest explained it in a way that made it feel practical, not just something for experts. I liked how they showed that creativity is something you can build and use in real life, especially for solving problems. Another thing that really stuck with me was the idea of mindset. The way they talked about how your mindset affects your actions made a lot of sense. Even the example about different mindsets in everyday situations made it feel relatable. It made me think more about how I approach things in school and in group work. I also liked how the podcast made innovation feel accessible. It did not feel like something only certain people can do. It felt like something anyone can learn with the right approach and practice, which was really encouraging as a student. I think Steven did a great job making complex ideas easy to understand and interesting to listen to. This podcast is definitely something I would recommend to other students, especially if they want to improve their thinking, creativity, and confidence.

Your podcast is always filled with great advice. I love the way you back up your claims and advice with solid evidence. You have a gift of speaking clearly. My daughter just signed up for you challenge!

I love how easy this podcast is to get into. The personalities of the hosts are upbeat and their advice is great! I think many of the episodes are really helpful for me as a teacher! I even started to share it with some of my 5th graders. Looking forward to new episodes!

This podcast gives me so much motivation and excitement to become the very best version of me. I know it’s geared to high school students, but as a mom and entrepreneur, I look forward to these podcasts so much. This is podcast GOLD!!!
