Creativity, Connection, and What Makes Us Human with Joseph Fasano - Part 2

What happens when you stop fighting what you love and give yourself permission to change course?In PART TWO of my conversation with poet, author, and educator Joseph Fasano, we explore his move from studying mathematics and physics at Harvard to building a life around poetry. Joseph shares how that decision grew from a desire he could no longer ignore, even without knowing what his future would look like.We also talk about the parts of ourselves we silence, why achievement and recognition can still leave us feeling empty, and how owning our gifts can help us serve others. Our conversation touches on AI, the human connection we’re craving, and Joseph’s approach to teaching the whole person. We close with a discussion about apologizing to our children, learning from our mistakes, and striving to be whole rather than perfect. CONNECT WITH RACHEL:Subscribe to the newsletter via this link or by texting JOY to 33777Get on the wait list for the Analog-ish Gang!
