Breaking Bias

About this Episode This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Leslie Lew who is the Founder of Reclaiming your Courage. Leslie is nothing short of amazing and should serve as an inspiration and guide to her community and beyond. Leslie dug deep and shared some painful experiences that could have, and at points almost did, take over her life but she chose to get up, raise her voice and fight back!

About this Episode In this episode I spoke with guest Nathaniel Turner about the parents’ role in education. We put a lot of pressure on teachers and the system at large to educate and develop our youth but is that enough? We also discussed curating your own personal life with backwards design; how we can harness the future by making plans today.

About this Episode In this episode I spoke with Beau Palumbo who is a high school teacher in Las Vegas, NV. Beau shared his views on some of the struggles teachers face as well as some ideas on how we can all continue learning as we grow. As humans we can gain so much knowledge and value from simple conversations and Beau was sure to impart on parents the importance of open conversation in the home. Critical thinking is a MUST for our society, and we hope this episode inspires you to dig a little deeper into how you can think more critically in your daily life.
