Description

Meet singer/songwriter Daniel Heffington! Daniel's singing and songwriting is a side hustle that Austin Kleon, author of Steal Like an Artist says is life-enhancing in many ways. In this episode we dive into learning through games and simulations, how play enhances creativity, analog vs. digital experiences, and the importance of boredom. In both his professional life (Generation Joshua) and personal life (Daniel Heffington Music), Daniel is aiming to keep play and sensory experiences as a central part of growth and learning.

Childhood is finite at just shy of 9.5 million minutes. We only get one shot at it. One of the biggest decisions we make is how we will use that time. Research has confirmed time and time again that what children are naturally and unabashedly drawn to, unrestricted outside play, contributes extensively to every area of childhood development. The importance here cannot be understated. Every year we aim to match nature time with the average amount of American kid screen time (which is currently 1200 hours per year). Have a goal. Track your time outside. Take back childhood. Inspire others.
