- Leisure
This podcast highlights the intersection of work, happiness, having spirit, doing service and being healthy. My interests are sculpted by twenty years serving in a near full inclusion high school as a special ed. teacher. I tend to approach things part guidance counselor, social worker, personal trainer, career coach and fellow imperfect human, learning and growing. Specifically: How do you remain hopeful in the face of this crazy world? How do you slow down and walk forward instead of spinning in annoyed and anxious circles? What can you teach me about getting smarter, kinder, and more compassionate? How can we make the honest telling of vulnerable truths as important with the news of the day?

IINTERVIEW: Kevin Murray on Virtual Learning
March of 2020 marked the beginning of an abrupt need to design and implement Virtual Learning at Casco Bay High School where I teach. Jonne Trees, the Boothbay, Maine Region TV manager interviewed me a week after we began Virtual Learning and our follow up conversation, which serves as an intro, was recorded two weeks into the COVID-19 teaching. The lesson I mention is not as polished as I had hoped. Imagine if writers' rooms and IT staff for public school teaching was as demanded and funded as TV, movies, and entertainment.
If you are a parent or teacher, please contact me for more material and support. In the meantime, remember that people are capable of great things, this to will pass and the one thing people will always learn is your degree of confidence, hope and loving-kindness. These are the enduring lessons for us all! -

Things I say - Responsibility
This one cut/live recording details my learning to see the act of responsibility in a more helpful and positive light. One young listener said this podcast is, "like two hours of nothing". This is high praise because it's super important to slow down and, with sobriety, do nothing. Maybe for you silent meditation is too much. If this recording helps you slow down, then I have done something here. One last note, in my of the digressions I go hard on corporations that make energy drinks. I forget to note that some corporations, such as B Corps hold great promise for the country and world. Peace

Things I Say - I Am, You Are
This episode may help if you are attempting to meditate or slow down. Deep thinking helps us witness the goings-on around us. Please know that you and are fools and fabulous. Our greatest work will come from even a bit of centered thinking and feeling; our tendency toward achievement and effort are helping/earning/inventing glass ceilings. Think hard but know you are more than your thinking.
