Hey y'all! With Thanksgiving coming up, we're putting aside some time to be with family and friends. Before we return to regularly scheduled programming, we wanted to share with you an episode of the Rise Together Podcast, hosted by our good friend Dave Hollis. Earlier this year, Dave st down with Dr. Linda Cliatt-Wayman to talk about her experiences in education.

When Dr. Wayman, a lifelong educator, took over at Strawberry Mansion, it had recently been named in the news as one of the most dangerous schools in America. In less than a year, she had turned the school around using a mix of no-nonsense pragmatism and radical empathy, successfully raising test scores and literacy rates year over year, as well as fostering community with her students. Now, she's bringing her unique approach and incredible wisdom to the podcast to talk about how to reach kids that everyone else has written off, and how you can apply these lessons to hard conversations with your own kids.
