How do video games give you the skills to be a successful college applicant? Hear about this and much more from Jon Cassie, Director of Innovation at TVT Community Day School in Irvine, CA. If you want to learn about the benefits of connecting the Arts with STEM, this episode is for you. If you want to hear how one can apply knowledge from tabletop games, board games, and video games to "real life", this episode is for you.

TRUTH: There are real skills you can take away from playing games of all kinds.

TIP: When you play games, you learn perseverance, you learn how to approach different problems from different angles, you learn that failing isn't the end but just means that it's time to restart. Use those skills! Apply them to other areas of your life, and when possible, let them help you clarify your mission and values.

In this episode, you'll hear Jon talk about STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) and why it's an important reframing, you'll hear about his background in roleplaying games, you'll hear his perspective on how video games give you tangible skills, and you'll hear his ideas as to how one can hone their values.
