I Lived with the Monkeys for Three Months
In this episode, Richard talks about the joy and methods of learning. Unlike babies, adults never really learn anything from scratch, and only rarely do they learn unintentionally. There is always some foundational knowledge we can build upon, even if it is from a seemingly completely unrelated field. When an educator applies this building-blocks method of learning (or, as we call it -scaffolding), in a safe learning environment, the results often seem miraculous. But you don't need a magic wand or special powers to achieve these "miraculous" results! You can read more about it at https://kasperowski.com/i-lived-with-the-monkeys/.

Given the building blocks of high-performance teams, add the behavior patterns of connection, productivity, and error handling. Put it all together with behaviors from previous episodes, and you have the recipe for love (or friendship if you’re not allowed to say “love” in your workplace). On high-performance teams, people act like they’re in love with each other. They channel that feeling to high productivity.
