As young people, we’re limited by the environment we grow up in - our experiences and even the advice we receive are shaped by the worldviews of those around us. But to grow, we need to hear from as many voices and perspectives as possible. Taught, Not Told is a podcast dedicated to doing just that: sharing diverse, sometimes conflicting, viewpoints to help us better understand the complexities of the world, develop critical thinking, and shape our own values.

Hosted by Ivy Sheng, a teenager who loves to read, learn, and connect with others, this podcast brings together guests from different generations, industries, and worldviews. From industry leaders and climate champions to resilient entrepreneurs, guests share invaluable life advice and wisdom while challenging us to think about the world in new ways. Some episodes also feature Ivy's solo reflections on topics she’s been reading about or recent events - always with the goal of sparking curiosity and encouraging deeper thought.

This isn’t a podcast that pushes a single opinion – but one that broadens horizons. By listening to conflicting beliefs and diverse journeys, we can gain a better understanding of our world, improve our critical thinking, and grow into the best versions of ourselves.

Join Ivy as she explores the lessons that truly stick.
