The Wooden Spoon

I’m too busy! | Saying "yes", burnout and spending your free time

What does hip hop and Harry Potter Society have in common? They're both extra-curricular activities that are discussed in today's podcast! This episode explores the various ways that you can spend your free time, how taking a break can improve your productivity and the numerous benefits to extra-curricular activity.

Four high-achieving students redefine what it means to be successful beyond the books.

Traditionally, a wooden spoon is given to the person who comes last in a race. Instead of lingering on the failure of coming last, that same wooden spoon can be put to work and become something useful. 

The Wooden Spoon is a podcast about success, but more importantly, what success really looks like after you finish school and take on the real world. It's no longer defined by a grade - it's about living a successful life that is unique to you.
