Description
I'm Mark. I taught over a thousand elementary school aged children during my 20s and I believe almost anything can be learned. Not only that, but it's fun! What's at the core of most games? It's acquiring and mastering a set of increasingly difficult skills.
I've studied foreign languages on my own, become a SV software engineer as an outsider in my early 30s, taught myself to draw and more... but I didn't do it very efficiently, especially at the beginning. There are a lot of strategies that can help you learn more effectively and that's what this podcast is all about.
