    How to Find Yourself When Success Leaves You Empty | The Power of Subtraction with Scott Lackey

    In this episode of The Elemental Educator Podcast, host Tyler Comeau sits down with veteran, ironman finisher, and best-selling author Scott to dissect the ultimate paradox of achievement: why reaching your highest external goals can actually hide your deepest internal wounds. Scott shares his raw journey from chasing "scoreboard moments"—like completing an grueling 140.6-mile Ironman or engineering patented inventions—to losing everything in a life-altering "lightning strike" event that forced him to look inward.  The breakthrough moment happens when Scott pulls back the curtain on the grueling reality of his 11-month Ironman training and a bloody country-road bike wreck that radically shifted his perspective on pain. Instead of offering sugar-coated internet solutions or a generic seven-step formula for happiness, this conversation provides a data-driven, deeply moving masterclass on navigating what Scott calls the "fiery middle"—the uncomfortable space where you are too far from where you started to turn back, yet too far from your destination to see the way forward. If you are currently feeling numb, stuck on a treadmill of endless production, or struggling to find your true center mass, Scott’s framework will teach you exactly how to stop running, face your past, and embrace the beautiful reality of sacrificing who you thought you had to be.   🧠 Contrarian Insight (Our Distorted Reality)Most self-help gurus tell you that if people don't recognize your value, you simply need to work harder until they do. This episode completely flips the script. Scott argues that chasing external validation is a trap, and that true success is entirely non-transactional. If you are hanging trophies on your wall to convince other people who you are, you are operating out of emptiness. True alignment means becoming completely self-sufficient and realizing that "success teaches you nothing, while failure gives you everything you need to move forward."   🔄 Watch NextMaximize your leadership journey by diving into our dedicated growth playlist:https://elementaleducatorpodcast.transistor.fm/ 👥 Guest Connections & ResourcesScott's Best-Selling Book: Wake Up to Die Again 🎙️ Host Connection Block (Tyler Comeau)For Speaking and Consulting Inquiries: Email: info@tylercomeau.caFor Podcast Guest Inquiries: Email: tyler@elementaleducator.comWebsite: https://tylercomeau.caInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/elemental_educatorFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555973948902&mibextid=JRoKGiYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ElementalEducatorPodcast Platform: https://elementaleducatorpodcast.transistor.fm/Book: https://www.routledge.com/The-Elemental-Leader-Unlocking-Your-Potential-Through-Values-Perseverance-Adaptability-and-Innovation/Comeau/p/book/9781041006084LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-comeau-961a49310/ ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 - The Paradox of Achievement & Scoreboard Moments1:54 - Reaching Internal Fulfillment Through Subtraction3:16 - High School Lightning Strikes & Choosing the Army5:16 - Finding Clarity in the Quiet Absence of Noise7:25 - Entering the Four Elemental Segments8:00 - Grounded Moments: What Iron Man Taught Scott About Sacrifice11:48 - Dissecting True Self-Correction vs. Outward Identity14:38 - Behind the Bestselling Book: Wake Up to Die Again18:05 - Game: Principle or Preference Rapid Fire21:10 - Redefining Success: Why Accolades Are Garbage25:01 - Headwinds & Tailwinds: The Reality of the Hardest Day26:30 - The 64-Mile Bike Crash & Pushing Through Stitches29:26 - Rejecting Broken Promises & Choosing Yourself31:48 - Flipping the Script on Pain, Vulnerability, and Worth35:54 - Navigating the Fiery Middle Without Giving Up38:40 - The Cost of Creation: Overcoming the Internal Critic43:30 - Warning Signs of Disconnection & Clearing the Office Walls46:55 - Tyler’s Counter-Perspective on Trophies vs. Memories49:15 - How to Guard Your Nuance: Who Are Your Medals For?50:35 - Spark or Burn: The Road to Security Without Applause51:40 - Lessons From the Atlanta Airport Security Line56:10 - When Did We Stop Noticing Each Other?57:40 - Elemental Game: Final Answer58:50 - The Intimate Dedication to Family1:01:35 - Answering the Leadership Vault Question1:02:40 - Question Left for the Next Podcast Guest 💬 Community QuestionQUESTION - What is the one non-essential habit, belief, or metric you need to subtract from your life this week to get closer to who you actually are?

    How to Scale AI in Schools Without Overwhelming Your Staff | Dr Tom D’Amico

    Learn how to successfully lead massive AI implementation in education while protecting staff well-being and maintaining data privacy in this exclusive interview with veteran school district leader Dr. Tom D’Amico.  In this episode of the Elemental Educator podcast, host Tyler Comeau sits down with Dr. Tom D'Amico, the recently retired Director of Education for the Ottawa Catholic School Board. Tom successfully scaled artificial intelligence across an entire school district, but his core thesis challenges the entire EdTech industry: change management is a human leadership problem, not a software problem. Throughout this masterclass on educational leadership, Tom breaks down how to navigate the rise of "shadow AI" in K-12 systems, resolve internal friction between IT departments and teaching staff, and establish clear guiding principles that protect student data privacy without stifling rapid innovation.  Drawing from his unique background transitioning from a Master of Physical Education and NHL off-ice official into a national voice for educational technology, Tom brings a refreshingly practical coaching mindset to institutional change. He shares the sobering professional failure early in his career that solidified his value-based framework, why mandatory district-wide training sessions rarely build authentic capacity, and his exact three-step playbook for school principals to roll out AI literacy starting tomorrow. Whether you are a superintendent, principal, or forward-thinking educator, this conversation provides the blueprint for building an innovative school culture where human relationships always take precedence over technology.   Connect with Dr. Tom D'AmicoWebsite/Consulting: Contact via Tyler Comeau speaker inquiries. 🔗 Connect with Tyler Comeau (Host)For Speaking and Consulting Inquiries:Email: info@tylercomeau.caWebsite: https://tylercomeau.ca For Podcast Guest Inquiries:Email: tyler@elementaleducator.comPodcast: https://elementaleducatorpodcast.transistor.fm/ Social Media & Video Content:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elemental_educatorFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555973948902&mibextid=JRoKGiYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ElementalEducatorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-comeau-961a49310/ Grab Tyler’s Book, "The Elemental Leader":Book Link: https://www.routledge.com/The-Elemental-Leader-Unlocking-Your-Potential-Through-Values-Perseverance-Adaptability-and-Innovation/Comeau/p/book/9781041006084 Timecodes0:00 - Leadership over tools in change management 1:06 - Introducing Dr. Tom D'Amico 2:05 - Operationalizing "Use the group to change the group" 4:08 - The real meaning of delegation and trust 5:21 - From physical education to EdTech leader 7:23 - The summer schedule choice: Spanish or programming? 9:53 - Game: Principle or Preference 11:33 - The balance of data privacy standards vs. shadow AI 13:26 - The Ottawa checklist model for trust and innovation 16:21 - A career-defining failure: The online calculus course 17:42 - Establishing the "Why" behind district AI implementation 21:52 - Hot Seat: High-profile data breach protocol 23:39 - Hot Seat: Navigating staff anxiety and tech pushback 24:41 - Hot Seat: Handling a principal moving too fast 25:48 - Hot Seat: Overcoming a split senior leadership team 28:07 - Game: Flip the Script on AI replacing leaders 31:48 - Preventing emotional exhaustion through coherence 33:17 - How to spark ripples of change at scale 35:12 - Setting up monthly interdepartmental leadership monitoring 36:31 - The single biggest EdTech mistake senior leaders make 37:12 - 3 practical actions to build AI literacy tomorrow 39:46 - Launching a consulting company after retirement 42:28 - Game: Final Answer (Why culture always wins) 45:21 - Bringing authentic student voice and agency to the table 46:36 - The grade 12 physical education teacher who sparked a legacy

    The Invisible 'Oxygen' Every Successful Team Needs (with Corrine Thorsteinson)

    Most leaders wait for the perfect conditions to lead, but true impact happens when you learn to thrive in the cracks of the sidewalk. Episode Summary: In this deep dive, leadership consultant and retired Associate Superintendent Corrine Thorsteinson reveals why trust is the "oxygen" of any successful organization. Drawing from over three decades in the education sector, Corrine breaks down the four dimensions of trust—care, reliability, sincerity, and competence—and explains why "care" is the ultimate trump card in leadership. We explore her "Dandelion Metaphor" for resilience, the courage required to "run toward the fire" of difficult conversations, and her radical approach to building leadership cultures that include everyone from caretakers to division office staff. Whether you are a new principal or a seasoned executive, this episode provides a masterclass on navigating "headwinds," repairing broken trust, and the vital importance of daily reflective practice.

    Successful But Not Healthy: The Hidden Cost of Leadership No One Talks About

    Learn how high-achieving leaders burn out and how to rebuild your identity, health, and purpose beyond success in this powerful leadership conversation. In this conversation, Tyler Comeau sits down with Howard Stribbell, global educator and leadership expert, to unpack the hidden cost of success and why so many high performers feel empty despite achieving more than they ever imagined. After building and scaling international schools across Asia, Howard shares how chasing achievement led to burnout, identity loss, and a breaking point that forced him to rethink everything.  Together, they explore the internal pressure leaders carry, the fear of never being “enough,” and how performance-driven identities slowly disconnect us from who we actually are. This episode dives deep into leadership, mental health, and the uncomfortable truth that many leaders are succeeding externally while struggling internally. If you’ve ever felt like success isn’t delivering what it promised, this conversation will challenge how you define leadership and what it really means to live well while leading others. Key Takeaways  Why success without self-awareness leads to burnout and identity loss  The hidden pressure high-performing leaders carry every day  How the “never enough” mindset drives overwork and dissatisfaction  What happens when leaders prioritize performance over well-being  How to rebuild your identity beyond titles, roles, and achievements  The difference between being successful and actually being healthyA Moment That Might Shift Your Perspective Howard shares a hard truth: Many leaders learn how to be successful… but never learn how to be healthy. That gap quietly destroys careers, relationships, and personal fulfillment long before it shows up in performance.

  5. Leadership Under Pressure: How to Stop Drifting From Your Core Values with Jimmy Casas

    Leadership Under Pressure: How to Stop Drifting From Your Core Values with Jimmy Casas

    Learn how to avoid leadership burnout and build a strong team culture by leading with trust, values, and clarity instead of trying to fix everything yourself.  In this conversation, Tyler Comeau sits down with Jimmy Casas, educator, speaker, and author of Culturize, to break down one of the biggest leadership traps: the “fix-it” mindset. With over 30 years in education and decades as a school leader, Jimmy shares how leaders drift from what they know is right into reactive habits that slowly erode culture and trust.  Together, they explore what it really means to lead at a high standard, how to recognize when you or your team have “lost your way,” and why trust is the foundation that determines whether your organization thrives or fractures. This episode moves through real leadership scenarios, practical coaching moments, and the internal mindset shifts required to lead under pressure, aligning directly with the Elemental Educator framework of returning to core values when things get hard.  If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, responsible for everything, or stuck carrying more than you should, this conversation will recalibrate how you lead.   Key TakeawaysHow “fix-it mode” quietly destroys leadership effectiveness and team growthWhy leaders drift from their values and how to reset before culture suffersThe difference between coaching, delegating, and enabling underperformanceHow to identify early signs that a leader or team has lost alignmentA practical approach to handling conflict, resistance, and overwhelmWhy trust is the foundation of culture, performance, and long-term impact  A Moment That Might Change How You Lead  Jimmy challenges a common leadership rule: “Don’t come to me with a problem unless you have a solution.”  His take flips it completely. If people already had the solution, they wouldn’t need you.  That single shift turns leadership from control… into coaching.   🔗 Connect with Tyler Comeau  🌐 Website: https://tylercomeau.ca 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elemental_educator 🎙 Podcast: https://elementaleducatorpodcast.transistor.fm/ 📘 Book: https://www.routledge.com/The-Elemental-Leader-Unlocking-Your-Potential-Through-Values-Perseverance-Adaptability-and-Innovation/Comeau/p/book/9781041006084 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-comeau-961a49310/ 📩 Speaking & Consulting: info@tylercomeau.ca    🎤 Connect with Jimmy Casas  🌐 Website: https://www.jimmycasas.com/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/casas_jimmy/ 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmy-casas-bb863432/ ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGyi3yFrk09V0w9C18H8qWA  Chapter Markers 00:00 Episode trailer 00:45 Leadership drift: why we don’t do what we know is right 04:15 Signs a leader or team has lost alignment 06:45 The hidden danger of frustration in leadership 08:45 Fix-it mode vs building capacity in others 11:45 Coaching vs solving problems for your team 13:45 Jimmy Casas’ leadership background and credibility 14:45 “Not every problem is yours to fix” explained 17:45 Recovering from burnout and resetting as a leader 19:35 The interview chair mindset and self-reflection 21:15 Principles vs preferences in leadership decisions 23:25 When leaders feel pressure to carry everything 25:45 What “carry the banner” really means in culture 32:15 Early leadership lessons from a paper route 35:45 Real leadership scenarios: conflict, resistance, overwhelm 42:05 The moment Jimmy almost left leadership 48:35 What leaders get wrong about culture 52:45 Why people resist change (and how to fix it) 55:35 Why trust beats everything in leadership 58:15 Putting students first in real decisions 1:00:05 The turning point that reshaped Jimmy’s leadership

    Is Inclusion Just Better Exclusion? (What Most Schools Get Wrong) | Dr. Shelley Moore

    In this episode of The Elemental Educator, Dr. Shelley Moore dismantles one of the most dangerous assumptions in education: If a student is struggling, something must be wrong with the student. What if that assumption is the problem? Shelley is an inclusive education researcher, consultant, and global speaker who has spent her career helping schools rethink how learning actually works. This conversation will challenge how you think about inclusion, special education, and what it really means for students to succeed. The shift is simple, but powerful: You can’t change students. But you can absolutely change conditions. What You’ll Learn In This Episode • Why most “inclusive” classrooms are still excluding students• The difference between access, placement, and true belonging• Why education systems default to blaming students• How changing conditions unlocks student success• What teachers were never trained to do in diverse classrooms• Why IEPs should function like “seed packets” instead of deficit reports• How to design lessons that include all learners without adding workload• Why inclusion benefits every student, not just those with identified needs If you lead, teach, or influence learning environments, this episode will fundamentally shift how you approach your work.
