Episode 28 of The Art of Teaching Business podcast!

In this episode, I share my approach to note taking has evolved over the years and why I no longer ask students to write while I’m teaching. I introduce the Snip Note System—small, visual graphic organizers that help students listen first, then record what matters in a meaningful and memorable way. If you're looking for a more student-centered, brain-friendly way to support retention and engagement, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on how note taking can become a true learning tool rather than a classroom interruption.

Here is the Snip Notes YouTube video mentioned in the podcast.

Episode 27 of The Art of Teaching Business podcast!

In this episode, I share my experiences and practical strategies for motivating unmotivated students in the classroom. I outline five key approaches: triggering curiosity (through storytelling and Google Earth), using pop culture, gamifying lessons, incorporating props and hands-on activities, and letting students help create class mission, vision, and code of ethics. I also share some heartfelt stories of former students to remind teachers that sometimes, true impact emerges long after students leave the classroom.
