Everyone. This is Ron Stefanski from DisruptEd, and I just wanted to share a recent conversation I had about learning. You know, our DisruptEd community is all about How do we take learning to the next level? They recently had a really, really animated conversation with the former Dean of Yale school of management and former Dean of Apple University, gentleman by the name of Joel Podolny. And as I heard about the work he's doing at honor education. I just became more and more excited because I have found a lot of times technology doesn't deliver and it ends up disappointing us. And Joel checked a lot of boxes for me as he showed me about some of the work they're doing. The ability to take down technology silos and make it easier for the students to get on the platform and to learn And for teachers, you use the platform to deliver a really great course experience. So as we were talking, Joel, invited me to build my own course, which got me as you might expect to geek out completely. And so over the next few weeks, I'm going to be building a course that I'm gonna share with all of you for free. And we'll see how well I do at taking learning next level. I'm pretty excited about this. I hope you are too. Stay tuned. I'll be keeping in touch until next time. This is Ron's defense Git to rubbed at.
