Since doing this podcast, one thing Gina and I have noticed about self-directed learning is that people who undertake it in their formative years develop a really strong sense of self - the kind of sense of self that is unafraid to take on any limits around them. That's definitely true of today's guest, Ki Aoaygi. Ki discovered self-directed learning around the high school years and has gone on, among other things, to work `at the self-directed Sego Lilly school in Utah. Enjoy a fascinating conversation!

4:47 - When Ki Discovered Self-Directed Learning and Living: “It was a journey with a lot of ups and downs.”
9:54 - Is self-direction a natural trait or an acquired one: “When older students come in, it takes some time to adjust to that style of self-directed learning.”
15:15 - More about How Ki discovered self-directed learning at Not Back to School Camp: “I was surrounded by other teenagers who had lived their entire lives this way.”
22:26 - Working at a self-directed school in times of uncertainty: “Learning isn’t just something that stops in your k-12 years.”
28:13- Is self-directed learning only for self-starters?: “To me, self-directed learning is not about not going to typical classes. It is about being able to formulate how you learn.”
32:26 - Benefits and challenges of working at a self-directed school: “I really have to let myself just let them be.”
