#17 Pete Le Roux - (Part 2) The Critical Role of Parents, Mastery, and Taking Responsibility


Listen Later

Part two of our conversation with Pete Le Roux.

Pete Le Roux is the CEO of Stone Dragon and a proud educator of 29 years. He holds a master's degree in Marine Ecology and an HDE from the university of cape town. Pete is proudly married to his lovely wife, Sue, the head of Emergency Medicine at a secondary hospital in Cape Town, and father to Cami, his 17-year-old daughter.

When Pete was in Grade 10 he made a choice to teach and has never regretted it.

"Along the way I have learned to believe in the humanity and the raw power of adolescents. I believe in their capacity to make a change, their open-hearted compassion, and their devil-may-care courage. I have learned to love the liquid joy of being in their company and the blunt satisfaction of fighting for them. I have spent years fighting alongside them too, on behalf of others far less fortunate. In each young person I see the dormant dragon; glittering, gleaming, moving softly in the half-light."
