Around the country, students are struggling to find their purpose in a system bent on conformity—and the problem has only gotten worse since COVID-19. For nearly a year, millions of children have been locked out their classrooms, without access to high-quality education. Meanwhile, parents have tried to step in and fill a void that, until now, has put the onus of education squarely on schools. Until 125 years ago, learning took place in the world, not solely in the classroom. That changed with the industrial revolution. With or without a global pandemic, the currency of the modern world is innovative, creative thinking—not rote memorization—and most public-school systems simply aren’t equipped to provide this type of human-centered learning. We need to drastically rethink our societal approach to education.  Connect with Marisa & Kate: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/straightupfilms/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/StraightUpFilms/Twitter - https://twitter.com/straightupfilmsFollow The Story Box on Social MediaINSTAGRAM ► - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/ TWITTER ► - https://twitter.com/jay_fantom FACEBOOK ► - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcast WEBSITE ► - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE! Apple Podcast ► - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-story-box/id1486295252 Spotify ► - https://open.spotify.com/show/7h8Qv3r2ZV29f7ktJOwmgM?si=FXxYC1JFSHesBv7_d1WtNQ WATCH HERE:YouTube ► - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheStoryBox If you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to YouTube & Apple Podcasts, and leave a 5-star positive rating and review over on Apple Podcasts.

His lack of self-love and self-awareness led him down many paths, eventually hitting rock bottom. Ultimately, his journey to self-love did not begin until college, when he was finally awarded a moment of clarity. With just one semester left to graduate, Armon dropped out of school and started a life that felt much bigger than the degree he left behind. He quickly made it his mission to ensure no one goes through life feeling like they are alone or in despair.

"Hi! I’m Genevieve—but you can call me Gen. I’m a daughter, sister, mother, and wife. I’m also a book nerd, nature lover, traveler, adventure seeker, activist, actress, and aspiring urban homesteader.Ready for the Cliff’s Notes version? I was born and raised in the Bay Area until a family vacation turned into a life-changing move to the mountains of Montana, followed by a sunny valley in Idaho—which I now consider my hometown. I left the wild west to study acting at NYU, then made a pit stop in Los Angeles before landing in Albuquerque after I was cast in my first TV show called Wildfire on ABC Family. A few more moves and TV shows later, I found a home in Austin, Texas where I now live with my husband, three kids, 2 dogs, 14 chickens, and a hive of honeybees.I try to live curiously and love to share cool things I discover and the inspiring people I meet along the way. Sometimes it’s a dry shampoo that’s good on a hiking trip (like that time we hiked Machu Picchu), a good book that’s helpful for parenting, a pair of great shoes that I think are special, or unexpected things that make life a little bit sweeter. Other days I might share stories about our crazy life and family adventures that I hope you find inspiring (or at least amusing). When it comes to being a mom, or a wife, or simply a human being…we’re all doing the best we can. No mom or person has it “all figured out,” (I certainly don’t!) so I hope we can encourage and root for one another as we learn along the way.I’ll be sharing and checking in weekly, so make sure to subscribe to my newsletter to be the first to know when new posts are live! You can also follow me on Instagram at @NowandGen. Thank you so much for being here, I look forward to hanging out together. Feel free to drop a comment or two, because this blog was created as a place for us to connect and inspire one another.In addition to this success, she recently reprised her role as ‘Ruby’ for the fifteenth and final season of SUPERNATURAL starring opposite her real life husband, Jared Padalecki. As discussed, she also stars opposite Jared in WALKER, which is making waves over at The CW. The full-time mom and urban homesteader can really do it all!"

RICH FRESH BIOPatrick Henry, known professionally as “Fresh”, is the founder and creative director of LA-based luxury fashion label Richfresh. Established in 2018, Richfresh has quickly skyrocketed to being the beloved brand of Hollywood’s directors, actors, and athletes. At the age of 21, shortly after dropping out of college, Fresh opened a tailoring shop in the burgeoning art district of downtown Memphis, TN. Struggling to realize his potential in Memphis, he moved to New York City to further pursue tailoring. After the market crash, Fresh left New York and moved to Los Angeles in 2013 to work for Ermenegildo Zegna. During his time at Zegna, he became the preferred associate for many high-profile clients due to his unique aesthetic and stand-out personality. Fresh then made the move to LA, where hard times then struck. By the end of 2017, Fresh was homeless and living in a shelter. But with sheer grit, determination, and brilliance, Fresh branched into making his own designs and cleverly branded himself as a “celebrity tailor”, without even having any celebrity clients. His work spoke for itself though, and A-listers quickly pounced at the chance to have bespoke suits created by Fresh. Fresh left the shelter with $300 in his pocket and without any investments or loans, he turned that $300 into $1 million within a year of leaving the homeless shelter. Having over a decade of luxury tailoring experience and being a keen student of color and color psychology, Fresh conceived his aesthetic and created the brand Richfresh. The concept is unique - bespoke tailoring with a brand aesthetic. With precise tailoring, comfort, and the unique use of color, double stripes, and the famous yellow tab as its hallmarks, Richfresh has become a name celebrated amongst Hollywood and the elite. Fans of the brand now include The Weeknd and his iconic red suit designed by Fresh, John Legend, Billy Porter, Dwayne Wade, Gabrielle Union, Lena Waithe, Blake Griffin, Rick Ross, and more. Website: www.richfresh.comInstagram: @Richfresh  HENRY MASK BIOPivoting to meet the new demands and constraints of the world during COVID-19, Richfresh founder Patrick Henry (AKA Fresh) and business partner Chase Morgan founded Henry Mask in April 2020. As COVID-19 gripped America and global medical supplies and face masks ran low, there was no way of obtaining more of what was desperately needed. There were simply not enough manufacturers in the US to meet the demand. Fresh and Chase put their heads together and sought ways they could step up and put their manufacturing resources to use. And thus, Henry Mask was born. The masks’ unique origami-inspired design, the high level of protection, and their philanthropic message (for every mask purchased, one is donated to medical workers on the front lines and families in need) put Henry Mask on the map. With no investors and done out of total self-funding, Henry Mask made an extremely impressive $1 million in just 5 months. The colorful masks and their special message have quickly become a hit with celebrity fans including LeBron James, Jennifer Lopez, Michael B. Jordan, Doja Cat, Tracee Ellis Ross, Chrissy Teigen and more. With a monthly subscription model ($39.99 per month), The HENRY Travel-Mask comes in packs of 4 so that you always have a clean mask handy. Masks are washable and reusable but should be replaced weekly with regular use. HENRY Travel-Masks are made of 3-ply 100% Polypropylene nonwoven fabric with round elastic ear-loops to give you the best protection and comfort when worn. Website: www.henrymask.comInstagram: @HenryMasks Connect with Rich: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/richfresh/?hl=enFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/richfreshla/Follow The Story Box on Social MediaINSTAGRAM ► - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/ TWITTER ► - https://twitter.com/jay_fantom FACEBOOK ► - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcast WEBSITE ► - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE! Apple Podcast ► - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-story-box/id1486295252 Spotify ► - https://open.spotify.com/show/7h8Qv3r2ZV29f7ktJOwmgM?si=FXxYC1JFSHesBv7_d1WtNQ WATCH HERE:YouTube ► - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheStoryBox If you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to YouTube & Apple Podcasts, and leave a 5-star positive rating and review over on Apple Podcasts.

Emmy Award-winning actor, Terrence Terrell, who can currently be seen as a series regular on the new Chuck Lorre comedy for CBS, B POSITIVE, opposite Thomas Middleditch (SILICON VALLEY) and Annaleigh Ashford (MASTERS OF SEX). Terrence plays a high-energy, former NFL player who is coping with his fading fame while in dialysis. The show premiered on November 5 alongside CBS fan-favorites, YOUNG SHELDON and MOM, and reviews praised the “scene-stealing” ensemble cast (THR, Fienberg) reminiscent of Chuck Lorre’s other successful multi-cam hits. The series was recently picked-up for a full season order. Check out the trailer here. Previously, Terrence has appeared on BOSCH for Amazon, ROOM 104 for HBO, BATWOMAN for CW and THE FIRST WIVES CLUB for BET as well as Issa Rae’s GIANTS, for which he won his Daytime Emmy for "Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Digital Drama Series" in 2019. He’s also widely known for his recurring character of “Motaur” on the 2019-2021 Progressive commercials. Up next, he can be seen in Jamie Foxx’s feature directorial debut, ALL STAR WEEKEND, playing LeBron James. Terrence will also be writing and directing on an animated short, SKIN DEEP, which will tackle mental health, colorism and what it means for a little Black boy living in this world today through the vehicle of animation. Terrence is partnering with Emmy-winning producer, Anthony Hemingway (THE PEOPLE V. OJ SIMPSON) and Six Point Harness (HAIR LOVE, GUAVA ISLAND), to bring the animated short to life. This story is based off his own dealings with mental health and colorism and is in conjunction with his self-published children’s book series that include titles of BLACKY, THE SHES, THE CROWN KIDS and most recently, MY LITTLE BLACK BOOK which released February 2021. The books promote Black beauty, inclusion and self-love, which are Terrence’s driving forces. The book was timed to Black History Month and focuses on crucial Black inventors and their contributions to every day life. Additionally, in 2019, Terrence began releasing his own music. He currently can be heard across all major streaming platforms and has more music on the way. His latest song “Dirty Red” released February 2021. Terrence is also passionate about mentorship as he serves as the Head Mentor for Tina Knowles Lawson and Richard Lawson’s WACO Theater and “Angels and Warriors” non-profit organization, which were founded to empower young, underprivileged millennial students to experience and accomplish their dreams in arts and entertainment. Terrence is an extremely talented multi-hyphenate with a joy for life that shines on all he comes in contact with.Connect with Terrence Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/iamterrencet/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/iamterrencet/Follow The Story Box on Social MediaINSTAGRAM ► - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/ TWITTER ► - https://twitter.com/jay_fantom FACEBOOK ► - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcast WEBSITE ► - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE! Apple Podcast ► - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-story-box/id1486295252 Spotify ► - https://open.spotify.com/show/7h8Qv3r2ZV29f7ktJOwmgM?si=FXxYC1JFSHesBv7_d1WtNQ WATCH HERE:YouTube ► - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheStoryBox If you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to YouTube & Apple Podcasts, and leave a 5-star positive rating and review over on Apple Podcasts.
