What happens when you walk away from a hyper-optimized New York life to immerse&nbsp;yourself in learning one thing? <a href="https://realravigupta.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ravi Gupta</a> explains why he moved to Italy to study cooking, rebuild his attention span, and escape phone-and-dating-app brain rot, drawing on previous&nbsp;"skillbaticals" devoted to powerlifting, screenwriting and surfing. Then Gupta digs into his five-part series&nbsp;<a href="https://thebranchmedia.org/show/where-the-schools-went/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Where the Schools Went</a>, tracing how post-Katrina New Orleans rebuilt its schools as an almost all-charter system, what worked, what broke, and what the rest of the country should—and shouldn’t—try to copy.This episode was taped at <a href="https://www.ptknitwear.com/podcasts/about-the-podcast-studio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">P&T Knitwear</a> at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.Send us an email with your thoughts on today’s episode: <a href="http://info@firewall.media" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">info@firewall.media</a>.Be sure to watch Bradley’s new TED Talk on Mobile Voting at <a href="https://go.ted.com/bradleytusk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://go.ted.com/bradleytusk</a>.Subscribe to Bradley's <a href="https://bradleytusk.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=598eec9b2f3796f83c63c4888&id=f71bd48c53" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">weekly newsletter</a> and follow Bradley on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/btusk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Linkedin</a> + <a href="https://bradleytusk.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Substack</a> + <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@firewallpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>.
