Retirement Rebellion with George Jerjian

Mindset Masters: Ken Robinson

Season 1, Ep. 6

Ken Robinson is a British author, speaker and international advisor on education to government, non-profits, education and arts bodies.


In his book, Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything, Robinson considers the child bored in class, the disillusioned employee and those of us who feel frustrated but can't quite explain why: and shows how we all need to reach our ‘Element’, the point at which natural talent meets personal passion.


In this month’s podcast, I cover a large part of the book in more detail, and consider how Robinson’s ideas can be used at retirement age.
