Jamal & I go over some first year teacher.

We also reminisce a little on our first year teaching experiences.

After losing a friend to gun violence in May of 2017, Brandon was forced into the spotlight early at the age of 17. Soon after his friend's death, Brandon founded his own nonprofit, We LIVE Incorporated. In the midst of two years, Brandon was awarded many state and national accolades. Now 19 years of age and a current Finance major at Ball State University, Brandon has most recently published his first ever book, B Inspired, ultimately enhancing his voice and spreading a much larger message. His message went from solely being about violence prevention to numerous subjects in which completely educates and inspires the world's next generation.

Through his educating and inspiring methods, Brandon uses his platform and previous experiences to be a positive inspiration to others. As an activist, author, and inspirationist, Brandon highlights the essentials young people need to B Smart, B Bold, B You, and to B Inspired. By being smart, bold, and himself, Brandon is truly an inspiration. From being at the center of Times Square to multiple speaking engagements, Brandon has been utilizing his high powered platform and voice to help encourage other young people to uniquely follow in his own path of inspiring others. Brandon believes in order to Become The Inspiration one must first B Inspired.

How do you stay on track during the summer?

Don (a teacher) talks with Jamal (a principal) and talks about teacher/principal conflict... and teacher gossip, and improving culture.

"Zack Friedman has inspired millions with his powerful insights, including more than fourteen million who have read his advice in Forbes.

In his groundbreaking new book, The Lemonade Life, Friedman starts with a fundamental question: What drives success? It’s not only hard work, talent, and skill. The most successful people have one thing in common, the power to flip five internal “switches.” We all have these five switches, and when activated, they are the secret to fuel success, create happiness, and conquer anything."

If you are thinking about switching careers, I want you to play to this strength:

So Jamal were talking about heath & shared with him that I was losing weight by betting against myself.

I've done HealthyWage.com two other times. It was simple- I put up my own money, lose weight, and not only win my money back, but 30% more.

In fact, if you use this code, YOU will get a $40 bonus added to YOUR bet, but my nonprofit will also get $40... if you lose the weight!

So... want to join us? You have 6 months to lose it, and our group will help you keep accountable.

Harbor Freight has a program called "Tools for Schools," because they felt that too many schools were overlooking a VERY important aspect in our educational system: skilled trades.

On today's episode, I talked with Tae Kang of Harbor Freight's Tools For Schools.

I strongly encourage you to go to their website and see what they offer in prizes and how it impacts not only the school, but the community.
