Building resilience in a generation raised on screens.
The Foundation exists to help the next generation thrive — and you can't talk about education today without talking about what technology is doing to young minds. Shrinking attention spans, AI shortcuts, rising anxiety, and fading grit are now classroom problems, dinner-table problems, and life problems.
Hard Truths for a Soft World is our companion podcast: a place where Trevor L Taylor turns research and lived experience into plain-spoken guidance for the people raising and teaching the next generation. It's free to listen, free to share, and made to spark real conversations at home and in school.
If our scholarships open doors, this podcast helps young people walk through them ready — focused, disciplined, and resilient.
