  • A Child of Divorce (Part 3)
    Welcome to Hot Topics! Gabrielle Crichlow talks to returning guest Harvey Laguerre about his processing of his parents' divorce, his outlook on relationships and marriage, and the outcome of his family dynamics today.

    Who is Harvey Laguerre?
    Harvey Laguerre is a 47-year-old stay-at-home dad of 4. The emergence of COVID-19 led to the creation of a relationship podcast, Love is Black, with his wife. The success of that podcast encouraged him to create his own. Men are the P.R.I.Z.E. podcast, which is the result of years of learning what it means to be a man in the world today. The definition of masculinity has changed drastically, and not for the better. Once manly attributes are now toxic. What has not changed is the lack of safe spaces for men to express their emotions. Being a vulnerable man is not celebrated like it should be. This podcast is a safe space for men to open up and reveal their inner monologues. This podcast is the what, where, when, why, and how of manhood.

  • Talkin' with Tutors (Part 2)
    Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, Gabrielle Crichlow sits down with guest Jan Sixt, an experienced private tutor with over 45 years in the field. Jan's journey into tutoring began after her husband’s military postings disrupted her classroom teaching career. Since then, she has guided students from preschool through college across a wide range of subjects.

    Initially focused on in-person tutoring, Jan has successfully transitioned to online tutoring, particularly during the pandemic. She employs various technologies, including screen sharing, whiteboards, and manipulatives, to engage her online students effectively. A key aspect of Jan’s approach is her emphasis on teaching fundamental skills and concepts, rather than merely assisting with specific assignments. She believes that mastering these building blocks is essential for student success, whether in elementary math or college-level writing. To further support her students and their families, Jan has created over 1,200 educational videos showcasing her techniques.

    As a sole proprietor, Jan relies heavily on word-of-mouth referrals to grow her business. She also collaborates with school districts to provide home instruction for students unable to attend school. Additionally, Jan shares valuable advice on navigating the tax and financial aspects of running a private tutoring business.

    Join us as Gabrielle and Jan discuss her motivations for entering the tutoring industry, the tools that have helped her thrive, and the invaluable lessons she has learned along the way.

    Who is Jan Sixt?
    Jan Sixt, founder of JSTutor.com, offers over 1200 educational videos covering many subjects for preschool through 12th grade. With over 45 years of teaching experience, Jan helps parents teach foundational concepts effectively and provides homeschoolers with a well-organized curriculum. She has been a guest speaker at numerous educational events since 2001 and has been inducted into the Kappa Delta Pi International Honor Society in Education since 1969.

    Dr. Dawn Menge writes a children's book series based on her real-life adventures and friends titled "Queen Vernita's Visitors Educational Adventures," aimed at Pre-K to 6th grade. She has just sent her thirteenth book to print and is excited about it. The book's format follows calendar skills, days of the week, months, and seasons, with Queen Vernita meeting a new friend and subject each month, learning seven additional facts about each topic. Queen Vernita has held baby alligators throughout her kingdom, swum with sharks, seals, and manta rays, and even had a baby sea horse wrap its tail around her finger. Dr. Menge also has a new book titled "Dragon's Breath," where King Teddy Bear seeks the answer to his Kingdom's mysterious black smoke. His job is to protect his villagers and help them thrive, as the once beautiful gardens and crops are now withering, and his precious villagers are saddened and fearful.
