Warden's Wisdom

In this episode, I discuss how we can find more meaning in our lives, and I specifically site the work of Viktor Frankl and his book Man's Search for Meaning.  I take a dive into how meaning is more purposeful than happiness, as well as some of Frankl's techniques that he created to use in this psychiatry practice.  If you're someone who is trying to create a life with more meaning, look no further than this podcast!

Hey everyone!  I just wanted to share another poem with you all in honor of national poetry month.  This poem is about finding stillness amidst our chaotic lives that we live.  If you're trying to cultivate some stillness, give this poem a listen!

This episode is a conversation that I had with Steve Boudreau about transparency in teaching and coaching.  Steve has been a mentor and role model of mine since I was in middle school, and I can now call him a colleague and a friend.  He is a high character guy who has been transparent with me since the day we met.  I really enjoyed this conversation as Steve had a lot of great anecdotes about how important it is to be transparent as a teacher, coach, and person.  If you're curious about why transparency is so important, give this a listen!
