I used to be a hypebeast. Then I got into smaller, dope sneaker brands that tell stories and support good things. That is when I found NinetyNine Products, a small sneaker brand housed under a creative agency called AndThem. The agency and the sneaker brand are founded by Jeffrey Henderson after spending 20 years designing shoes with companies like Nike, Everlane, and Cole Haan. 

If you want to know what Jeffrey is all about, check out his Linkedin bio: "Good Things." That sums up his efforts with AndThem and NinetyNine Products. 

He told his school story on the podcast! Check it out.

Welcome to Schoolish. 

This podcast used to be called School Sucks! We have rebranded and changed this podcast to capture more creative content! This episode is a new segment I've created called School Story.

School Stories are audio bites from people capturing their experience with school. The more stories we can collect and learn from, the faster we can reinvent this system. 

We are taking a break for the Holidays! Happy Holidays to you and your family! 

When we return in December, we will have a new name and a new brand! 

The School Sucks Podcast is a place where we have tough conversations in order to rethink and reinvent education so that no student has to say the words "School Sucks" ever again.  

In this episode, Jaysin Spradley and I dive into thoughts I have about education.

The School Sucks Podcast is a place where we have tough conversations in order to rethink and reinvent education so that no student has to say the words "School Sucks" ever again.

Our goal is that no student ever has to say "school sucks" ever again.  In this episode, I had a chance to chat with Jordyn Hawkins-Rippie.   

Jordyn's Bio: 

I am a Market Research Specialist at The Survey Finder, where I conduct research studies and online surveys on several topics (including Advertising, IT, Insurance/Employee Benefits, and more). My primary function is to source and recruit professionals who are interested in monetizing their knowledge/experience through anonymous industry research studies.  

My 'Why': Our world is becoming more interdependent and globalized and leaders and individuals in all contexts need to be fully equipped with the cultural competency skills to effectively and deftly navigate a diverse and ever-changing landscape to build trust and cooperate to further mutual aims and goals. From multicultural and global teams to individuals relocating to new countries, Cultural Intelligence (CQ) fosters these aims to secure a more peaceful and prosperous future for all global citizens.  

Additionally, I am on a mission to creating a more financially literate society so that individuals are empowered to take control of their lives and make a positive impact on the socio-economic conditions in communities everywhere.
