    Exploring Your Potential eLearning Program: Elevate Our Students’ Work and Life Readiness with Jennifer Kushell (Episode #133)
    Sep 11 2025
    Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Jennifer Kushell, global thought leader on youth employment and entrepreneurship, and founder and CEO of Exploring Your Potential (EYP), an edtech company helping schools teach work and life readiness to students, to talk about lifechanging and personalized workforce education for high school and college students through the EYP elearning program. We know that 50% of college students and 75% of high school students graduate feeling unprepared to make career decisions. That’s not a failure of effort—it’s a signal that the system isn’t designed to meet each student where they are. Most schools simply don’t have the time or tools to help students explore their individual interests, strengths, or goals in a meaningful way. But we’re helping educators lean in—creating space for students to reflect, get curious about their future, and begin to shape it with purpose. When students feel seen and supported in that process, they show up differently—with more motivation, clarity, and confidence. That’s the shift we’re working toward. Shouldn’t every student have that chance? Jennifer also talked her diagnosis with attention deficit disorder and how learning differences can be considered as a strength and even an inspiration for young people to connect with her. She recognizes the epidemic of isolated youth high anxiety and depression, and the need to develop grit. She aims for a global effort to make sure that our youth’s support networks have the right information to make the best decisions in ensuring they feel seen and heard so as to ignite the passion of creating a better world for their generation and beyond.

  • The Big Impact of Vision to Learning: Solving Undiagnosed and Untreated Visual Inefficiencies with Dr. Robert Lederman (Episode #132)

    The Big Impact of Vision to Learning: Solving Undiagnosed and Untreated Visual Inefficiencies with Dr. Robert Lederman (Episode #132)
    Aug 28 2025
    Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Dr. Robert Lederman, neuro-developmental optometrist and international speaker, to talk about the big impact of vision to learning and why we are still missing it. “We live in the illusion that seeing is easy.” Robert revealed how myopia or nearsightedness has higher incidents in certain populations, questioned why having myopia as a condition is being considered normal when growing up, and provided myopia prevention tips especially for children. He also delved in the wrong expectations set to optometric vision therapy by pointing out the differences between language-based and vision-based learning difficulties, and how 20-20 vision is not a reliable measure to know if you are meeting the visual demands of your life. Functional testing is inadequate, and seeing a developmental optometrist would solve the undiagnosed and untreated visual inefficiencies that are preventing your child (or even you!) from living a full life.

    Jun 5 2025
    Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Bill C. Potts, a business leader, entrepreneur, father of three, healthcare consultant, cancer mentor, five-time cancer survivor and author of “Up for the Fight. How to Advocate for Yourself as You Battle Cancer.” Bill talks about his story as a 5-time cancer survivor - currently working on number 6 with the priority of helping others. His inspiring book serves as a guide and a framework, like a “What to Expect When You’re Expecting,” but for cancer. Bill knew that his book would change lives, but he didn’t expect that it would save lives, too. Bill also talked about diet for cancer patients, how he spends more on experiences and not stuff, and counseling cancer patients about their relationships. He also touched on the power of hope and the importance of faith. Yet while cancer is a part of Bill and it surely shaped him, cancer is not who he is.
