Lee After Dark Ep29: Joel Hawbaker
Joel is a 9th grade teacher, Oxford grad., plays soccer, studies history and loves to read (especially CS Lewis and JR Tolken). Discovered Tolken while at Oxford (the movie “Lord of the Rings” released). Since he reads the book before seeing the movie, he read Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, then watched the movie. Now he reads both books once every year.
So here’s the question Joel asks (among others): How does an Oxford grad., someone who is a vociferous reader, a teacher, author, and coach… someone who is considered an intelligent human… screw up so often around women? And how is this relevant? I have no idea.
For the answers to this and other questions that arise, please dive into this podcast for an interesting discussion with Joel Hawbacker, teacher and lover of books and history.
1:30 - JR Tolken - favorite author after reading him while attending Oxford, in England. Saw the original movie but, read the books (The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings) first before going to the movie.
4:00 - Books are life changing for him. Wrote an article comparing CS Lewis and JR Tolken that was published. Incorporates lessons from his reading into the classroom.
7:16 - “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.” JR Tolken
One of many lessons in these stories/books.
9:25 - the best hearted people can always screw up (story of Sam and Gollum). Much of his classroom teachings are from books he has read.
16:10 - here the discussion evolves into his inherent ability to antagonize women of all ages. (Ex. talking with ex-wife about movies they watched in bed while his girlfriend was present).
Pitch - author, speaker and coach - helps people who are divorced and remarried
