I sat down with Jason Turner—graphic designer turned middle school art teacher—to explore how subjectivity isn’t a limitation in education, but a secret weapon. Jason walks us through his journey from corporate design to the classroom, how burnout led him to teaching, and what he's learned guiding kids through one of the most emotionally turbulent times of their lives. We unpack what it means to teach decision-making, why failing publicly is essential, and how standards don’t have to stifle creativity. Jason makes a strong case for trusting kids to think independently, framing failure as a growth tool, and valuing “soft skills” as real-life essentials. Whether you’re an educator, parent, or someone passionate about shaping future humans, this episode is a warm, funny, and thoughtful reminder that confidence, creativity, and connection are just as important as curriculum.
