Wow! You know that feeling when you're in the presence of someone with such intellectual wisdom and experience, it becomes daunting. That's what I felt like this week when talking to Edwin Dannen.

At age 93, he's still rocking and rolling and enjoying life; he even shares his thoughts as a lecturer at Hofstra University.
He joins in on the call this week to share his most recent thoughts on education and its needed transformation.
