Episode 2: Still Chasing Gold Stars

In this episode of Unfinished Minds, Amy and Ben ask whether we ever really leave the world of report cards and performance reviews behind—or if we just keep chasing stars in different forms. 

They reflect on grades as students, teachers, parents, and leaders. From multiple choice exams and essay triage to modern workplace performance reviews and gamified apps, this conversation unpacks how we measure success, why we crave validation, and whether numbers ever tell the whole story.

Expect questions, stories, and some good old-fashioned purple pen feedback.
