In a recent episode of the EdTech Leaders podcast, 7 Mindsets founder and CEO Scott Shickler joins podcast host Oliver Lief to share the process of creating the 7 Mindsets and what it’s been like instilling the lessons in people—from preschoolers to adults. Scott discusses the root causes of success, happiness, and fulfillment. Drawing on interviews with over 400 highly successful individuals, including Oprah Winfrey and Richard Branson, along with extensive research and analysis of over 200 books and major global studies, Shickler reveals that external factors like wealth or education matter far less than internal “mindsets.” The podcast introduces the seven mindsets—Everything is Possible, Passion First, We are Connected, 100% Accountable, Attitude of Gratitude, Live to Give, and The Time is Now—which are shown to unlock greater potential and well-being in both students and adults. He also discusses the concept of “counter mindsets,” which limit growth and are often unintentionally passed down across generations.
