    72: Unleash Culture with Todd Nesloney

    Amazing conversation with educator and 4 time DBC Inc. book author, Todd Nesloney! We chat about many topics including his iconic book that he coauthored with Adam Welcome, Kids Deserve It. Todd explains how he was inspired to create Stories From Webb, which is a book written by a whole school! Included in this episode is how to Unleash Culture, which is a topic that Todd has built a robust online course about...and there are even free previews. Most fun for me was some throwback stories to how we met and discussion of a podcast and live stream I did with him back in 2013...check out the youTube, I even had some hair!! In that show, I did an interactive magic trick live on air. Here is the link: EduAllStars Podcast 2013 . Todd also has two other books with DBC, Inc: When Kids Lead and Sparks in the Dark. Learn all about Todd, find his social media, read his blog, and discover his online course at ToddNesloney.com. Share your thoughts on social media using the #DaveBurgessShow hashtag!
