When Xavier Wilds walked into the classroom, he wasn't just taking over; he was embarking on a transformative journey that would lead him from the unpredictability of substitute teaching to finding his true calling within the walls of a full-time education career. The man I call the "Humble Beast" joins us to share the twists and turns that saw him navigate through several academic pursuits, ultimately revealing a heartfelt passion for shaping young minds. His story is not just about the subjects he's taught but about the connections he's made, the balance between command and compassion he's mastered, and the approachable yet firm demeanor that has won him the respect of students and peers alike.
