In a world obsessed with output, Human School is where we study what happens within. This podcast was born from a journal entry during a breakdown. A reminder that struggle isn’t weakness - it’s instruction. Human School reframes pain as purpose, productivity as presence, and leadership as inner clarity. We’re building the education we never got. Through stories, tools, and raw conversations, we help people stop performing their lives–and start participating in them. Welcome to Human School.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-10T04:21:03.154911+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/human-school-7543113"},"episode":{"title":"Tim Harris: Hugging the World Back Together","slug":"tim-harris-hugging-the-world-back-together","published_at":"2026-05-21T21:24:35+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/human-school-7543113/tim-harris-hugging-the-world-back-together","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/human-school-7543113","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/human-school/episodes/Tim-Harris-Hugging-the-World-Back-Together-e3jnehv","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/10b384b70/podcast/play/120354815/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-4-22%2F424714853-44100-2-19a1edbd9e33c.mp3","summary":"What if the most powerful thing you could offer the world wasn't your résumé or achievements, but simply your presence and a hug? Tim Harris is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, Special Olympics athlete, author of T he Book of Hugs , host of the Big Heart Talks with Tim podcast, and founder of Tim's Big Heart Foundation . Raised in Albuquerque, Tim built a life around one belief: love, kindness, and connection can change everything. He ran Tim's Place: Breakfast, Lunch & Hugs , greeting every guest at the front door — all while living with Down syndrome, not in spite of who he is, but because of it. In this conversation, Tim shares about his seven steps to an awesome life, what he told a worried father whose baby would be born with Down syndrome, and why hugs are the best medicine in the world. Miles and Tim talk about their love of country music and feature a special performance of a country classic. These new best friends cover it all before Tim’s 5 o’clock flight home. In this conversation, you'll learn: How to be the light instead of complaining about the darkness How to use your superpower to lift someone in their hardest moment How to dream something and then do the work to make it real How friendship becomes the foundation for everything worth building How to lead with love in every room you walk into How kindness attracts more kindness back into your life How to grieve loss while still showing up for the world How asking first makes connection stronger How to recognize the gift in people that the world underestimates How to love someone for a thousand years, starting today Human School is powered by the work happening at Onsite, a place where people step out of their normal rhythms to do deeper healing work in community.
