Humans are busy creatures, and our brains are wired to anticipate future events. When it comes to identifying where we want to be or what we want to accomplish in the future, our efforts often fall short. Humans have this amazing ability to self-sabotage their endeavors, or to procrastinate eternally. The fix? Starting with accountability. You are likely familiar with the term, but let’s explore together how accountability as it relates to us and our peers is one of the most important tools you can equip yourself with in order to be who you want to be.
We take a close look at a high school called the Life Academy of Health and Bioscience, in an effort to learn how they achieve such extraordinary results for their students. This school is unique for many reasons - but in this case - student, counselor, and teacher accountability stood out to be the secret sauce that pulls everything together.
Our guest Grinders for Season 4 have some diverse opinions regarding peer accountability so far - and we are curious to see how they develop throughout the course of the season. We have Sam - an introspective guy who’s life has been put on pause due to Covid-19, we have Chase - an exuberant young hip hop artist who is reaching a transition point in his life, and we have Ren - a law student accomplishing her graduate studies in Hawaii.
