In this episode we sit with our first guest Marc Etienne, a veteran educator with over 20 years of experience spanning the classroom, the principal's office and the deputy super-intendent's seat. Marc shares how his roots, values, and lived experiences informed his leadership style and commitment to students.  The conversation unpacks real talk on equity, leadership, and navigating the politics of public education. Marc also reflects on balancing high stakes leadership with being a husband and father. It's an honest, thoughtful, and inspiring discussion about education, purpose, and preparing the next generation for a world that looks very different from the one we grew up in. 

Intro and Outro music by Erin Garris and Khari Garris
