In this interview segment, host Virginie Glaenzer asks Max about the personality and behavior changes observed in children participating in his educational program. Max explains that the program is designed to flip students' mindsets from a fixed to a growth orientation. He reports that young children (ages 7‑8) can make this shift within hours, high‑school students typically need about ten hours spread over a few days, and university students may require several months. The core claim is that achieving a growth mindset is the pivotal step that leads to further behavioral improvements.

Max, what kind of personality change and behavior change have you seen in kids going through your program?
So I designed the activities to flip their mindset. That's the key thing. Kids come from the education system and they have fixed mindset. And young kids, 7 or 8 years old, they flip from fixed to growth mindset within hours. High school kids takes probably 10 hours, a few days, you know. University kids, it can take months for them to get to it. But that's kind of the main thing. We got to get to growth mindset, and from there they are away. That's the key thing.
What about you, Kristin?
