क्या बचपन में आपके पड़ोस में कोई पुस्तकालय था? यदि आपके पास कोई पुस्तकालय नहीं था तो आप अकेले नहीं हैं। शुक्र है, कुछ कंपनियां आपके स्मार्टफ़ोन पर पढ़ने और लिखने की सुविधा ला रही हैं, जिससे यह और अधिक सुलभ हो गया है। पिछले कुछ वर्षों में, कई लेखकों ने अपने करियर की शुरुआत केवल ऑनलाइन प्रकाशित होकर की है। प्रतिलिपि जैसे ऐप्स पढ़ने और लिखने को और भी अधिक सुलभ बना रहे हैं, जिससे समान अवसर उपलब्ध हो रहे हैं।

You know they say, “Don’t meet your heroes?” Well, the day before I recorded this, I met mine, and it’s better than I could’ve imagined!

So, I'm spilling the beans on my whirlwind adventure at a two-day writer's workshop with none other than Don Miller. Get ready for some creative nuggets, the secret sauce to staying disciplined in writing, and a sneak peek into my upcoming book titled "15 Mile Famous: From Best Kept Secret to Local Celebrity." Cheers to the writer's life!

Mentioned in this episode:
EVOLVE 2024

"When I made that choice to write the book, I wanted it on my terms as opposed to somebody else's."

Ulcca Joshi Hansen adds,

"That felt like a really important moment for me as an author because it was saying, you know, my gift, my voice, my ideas are important, and I need to trust them enough to put them out in the world in the ways that I think are right."

In this excerpt from their much longer podcast episode, Transformational Author mentor Christine Kloser talks with author Ulcca Joshi Hansen - a "mother, educator, researcher and advocate working to change the way we think about and do education.

"She believes each young person deserves the chance to discover their unique potential, and to explore what that means for how they contribute to the world. An internationally-recognized expert on educational transformation at the level of instruction, assessment, organizational design and policy systems, Ulcca has a BA in philosophy from Drew University, a PhD from the University of Oxford, and a JD from Harvard Law School."

Her book: The Future of Smart: How Our Education System Needs to Change to Help All Young People Thrive by Ulcca Joshi Hansen.
