Viewer Discretion is advised for this episode. This episode discusses sensitive topics including child abuse and molestation. If you have experienced trauma or find these subjects upsetting, please exercise caution when listening.

This week, Tim and I challenge traditional perspectives and highlight the transformative power of effective communication and soft skills, not just in classrooms but in the corporate world, too. Our conversation also shines a light on the emotional challenges educators face, revealing a heart-wrenching, challenging-to-listen-to story. On a lighter note, relish Tim's story of an unforgettable moment involving a student with Down syndrome outshooting a pro basketball player. This episode promises to leave you inspired and moved by the powerful tales of resilience and joy within the world of education.
