Today’s episode is one that’s close to home — I sat down with a colleague of mine who’s been in education for over a decade. Before becoming a teacher, he spent ten years in the corporate world, which gives him a unique and well-rounded view of the public school system today.

From teacher to administrator to coach, he’s worn many hats — and in this conversation, he shares honest, thoughtful insight into what it really looks like to work in education.

We dive into:

🎓 How the value of education has shifted over the years
📊 The intense pressure of standardized testing
⚖️ Politics in education — and why we can’t ignore it
🧠 Generational differences in student mindset and motivation

Whether you’re an educator, a parent, or just someone curious about what’s going on inside today’s classrooms, this episode has something for you.

Education is my day-to-day world, and I’m proud to highlight the real work, challenges, and heart that go into it. Tune in — this one’s thoughtful, honest, and will definitely leave you thinking.
