Have you ever considered how intellectual inequality in education might be a root cause of socioeconomic disparity? Join us as we dive deep into this thought-provoking issue with our guest, John Mighton, the founder of Jump Math. We take a hard look at intellectual inequality, a hidden yet pervasive issue in our society, and discuss how promoting intellectual equality in schools can eradicate it within two years. John brings a unique perspective, weaving in the power of mathematics, innovation, and optimal learning into this urgent conversation.

What if the key to unlocking your potential was simply altering your mindset? We explore how negative beliefs about one's abilities can inhibit success and discuss ways to shift this mindset. With John's insights, we discuss the role of perseverance and resilience in innovation, sharing personal stories and experiences to bring this point home. We examine the importance of analogy in mathematics and writing, and managing connections between seemingly disparate domains of knowledge can lead to major scientific progress. 

We also highlight the transformative work done by Jump Math in underrepresented communities and its commitment to equalizing opportunities for intellectual growth. As we wrap up our thought-provoking conversation, we're left with a deeper understanding of the power of mindset and the importance of addressing root causes in order to promote intellectual equality. Join us on this journey and be part of the change.
