As school and district leaders enter 2026 facing tightening budgets and rising expectations, the challenge is clear: how do you build systems that last when resources are uncertain?We sit down with Tyra Mariani — a nationally respected education leader whose career spans local, national, and philanthropic systems — to explore what sustainable impact really looks like in this moment.

Leading for Impact is a podcast about what it really takes to build systems that last. Each episode features real conversations with the leaders, practitioners, and big thinkers reshaping schools, communities, and the organizations that support them.

Created for anyone committed to meaningful change, Leading for Impact explores the long game of improvement through three core questions: What must change? What must endure? And what should give us hope?

Through thoughtful interviews, practical insights, and stories from the field, the show uncovers the mindsets, habits, and commitments required to create transformation that lasts.
