In this episode, host Kim Olver concludes a three-part conversation with Angela Maiers, globally recognized educator, entrepreneur, author, and founder of Choose to Matter. Kim and Angela dig into the science of mattering—why securing the heart comes before earning the mind or the business, and how that truth transforms classrooms, brands, and communities. Angela explains “heart share,” the danger of treating students and customers like compliant “users,” and why the data that matters most asks a simple question: Do people feel seen, valued, and needed here? Together they explore practical ways schools can center student voice and interest (oceanography, dinosaurs—whatever the child’s “jam” is), how organizations build advocates rather than customers, and why ignoring mattering fuels disengagement, attrition, and even anti-mattering.Learn more about Angela at https://angelamaiers.com/ and find her on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok @Angela Maiers.Missed the earlier parts?
