In this episode of Career Conversations with Chris, we step into the world of independent education with Dr. Mike Davis, Head of School at Colorado Academy.

Key themes in this educational odyssey include:

• Running a school like a startup: Why being Head of School is equal parts educator, CEO, and crisis manager
• Teaching in the age of AI: Reflections on technology’s impact on learning, writing, and the future of thinking
• Education and equity: How CA is building a culture of belonging in an increasingly divided world
• Crisis with compassion: Navigating tough moments with students and parents while protecting trust and morale
• Leading leaders: How Dr. Davis supports and learns from his team, and the importance of stepping back so others can step up

Join Chris as he chats with Dr. Mike Davis about what it really means to build a school, and a life, centered on curiosity, compassion, and the courage to adapt.
