At the same time, San Jose’s mayor, Matt Mahan, is running for governor on a platform of fiscal responsibility. So the real question is this: Is Mayor Matt Mahan holding the line on funding because it’s the right fiscal decision or is there a political incentive behind it?

Many Americans believe private schools are inherently better than public schools, but is that belief actually supported by evidence? In this episode, Brian explores how perception, status, and cognitive bias often shape opinions about education more than the data itself.

The organizations that will stand out are the ones using AI to strengthen human connection, not replace it. At the end of the day, AI cannot replace the emotional intelligence, authenticity, and human connection people look for in the leaders and organizations they trust.
