The Teach Different Podcast

In this episode of the Teach Different Podcast, hosts Dan and Steve Fouts explore an anonymous quote on leadership: “Even the sheep must learn to lead the flock someday.” Returning guest Jarvis Funches speaks on the claim of the quote – the importance of mentorship, learning from leaders, and being prepared for when one’s turn to lead comes. They also explore the counterclaim of the quote – not everyone is suited to lead and no amount of learning can counter that. Lastly, they explore essential questions – what are the qualities of a good leader, and how does one know when they have learned enough and are ready to lead?

In this episode of the Teach Different Podcast, hosts Dan and Steve Fouts and guest Jarvis Functions unpack a powerful quote by Henry David Thoreau: “Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.” The discussion explores the claim of this quote on self-discovery, discussing how being lost and encountering struggles can lead to deeper self-understanding. Jarvis shares his personal reflections and experiences, emphasizing the importance of facing fears and uncertainties. They also discuss the counterclaim, which is the role of success in self-discovery and the importance of ongoing growth, even when one feels comfortable and content. The episode concludes with meaningful questions on how individuals who have found themselves can assist others still struggling with their self-understanding.   Image source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_David_Thoreau#
