Lee Green and
Clint Winter are back (and popping mics) with friend of the show
Rick Williams from
Floyd County Schools College & Career Academy.After getting grilled for missing Rick's 11:00 AM presentation, the guys settle in to talk about Rick's
EPIC approach to school social media:
Engage,
Promote,
Inspire, and
Captivate. Rick explains how his "Flash News" program—a fast-paced, TikTok-style news show—racked up over 170,000 views by meeting students where they are.
Key topics in this episode:- Learning in Disguise: How Rick runs his class like a business (complete with production meetings) and finds a role for every student, whether they want to be on-camera talent, run the audio board, or build sets with dry ice.
- The Industry Gap: A realistic look at the Georgia film industry and why bridging the gap between high school and union jobs often requires that next step at places like Georgia Film Academy or Georgia Highlands.
- What’s Next: A sneak peek at Rick's new mentorship program, "Fame Noma," and the upcoming Podjam event in 2026.
Plus, the conversation takes a hard left turn into a
90s music trivia challenge covering Hootie & the Blowfish, R.E.M., and the Black Crowes.
