  • Rethinking Youth Education: Design Thinking, Community Engagement, and Cultivating Empathy with Joel from TomTod Ideas

    Rethinking Youth Education: Design Thinking, Community Engagement, and Cultivating Empathy with Joel from TomTod Ideas
    Apr 17 2024

    Have you ever considered the profound impact design thinking could have on the development of middle schoolers? Join Jan as he chats with Joel from TomTod Ideas and uncover how revolutionizing the education system through co-learning and innovation can reshape not only individual lives but also entire communities.

    This episode is full of insights for anyone involved in youth development or education.

    We explore frameworks, that challenge traditional career trajectories and encourage students to ask, "Who do I want to be?" rather than, "What do I want to do?" Our conversation reveals how Joel's initiatives, including summer camps and after-school clubs, are equipping adolescents with tools to authentically engage with their community and foster a generation of proactive and empathetic leaders.

    Lastly, we turn the spotlight on the essence of organizational culture and the collaborative spirit that fuels TomTod. We discuss the significance of investing in culture from the get-go and how nurturing this within a team, regardless of size, can lead to a dynamic and supportive work environment.

    This episode isn't just an interview, it's an invitation to rethink the way we approach learning, teaching, and the spaces we create for the next wave of change-makers.

    Have you ever wondered how a leap of faith into entrepreneurship can redefine not just a career but a life? My friend Mercedes joins us to unravel her transformative journey, a tale that ebbs from the allure of the courtroom to the dynamic pulse of event planning. She lays bare the trials and triumphs of her path, from coordinating weddings to overcoming the tumult of a global pandemic and a personal health scare.

With Mercedes, we pull back the curtain on the realities of entrepreneurship—how an idea that sparks at the dinner table can ignite into a venture that connects communities. Whether it's assembling a wedding coordination business or crafting the fabric of Date Columbus and Date Cleveland to enrich the dating scene, the conversation journeys through the practical steps and emotional commitment needed to turn passion into profession. And it's not all paperwork and planning; it's about valuing your worth, setting boundaries, and the sweet spot of pricing confidence that comes from experience and expertise.

    Beyond the balance sheets and business models, we zero in on the essence of human connection. We celebrate the joy that springs from kickball leagues and social mixers, as Mercedes and her team curate experiences that cut through the digital noise, fostering real-life interactions. It's a reminder that the core of entrepreneurship can also be about bridging gaps and building communities, one event at a time. So, if you're curious about the heartbeat of starting a business with friends, or you're just looking for inspiration to take that next step, this heart-to-heart with Mercedes might just be the nudge you need.
