    The One Where I'm Orange...That's Not What This Book Is About

    In this episode, I take you back to the swing sets of 1978 and jump off into the complex world of race, ethnicity, sex, and identity.  The full story will be found in my NEW book 'That's Not What This Book Is About' - available July 1, 2025.  The easy questions are never interesting...and to be honest, they never get asked anymore...there is google.  Education is more about nuance, discussion and critical analysis than it has ever been before.  I may not have even close to all the answers, but I promise to never stop asking the questions.

    The One Where We Find Out What Happens at Metro Next....That's Not What This Book Is About

    In this episode, I take a walk through Metro Prep Academy to see what we have accomplished over the year and what amazing things are in our future.  The full story will be found in my NEW book 'That's Not What This Book Is About' - available July 1, 2025.  I don't think I ever saw myself as a Vice Principal of a school, but I could never see myself working somewhere other than Metro Prep Academy.  Thank god I had Ryan to direct this last year...he and I are really Batman and Robin (he is Robin).

    The One Where The Tide is Out...That's Not What This Book Is About

    In this episode, I almost get swept out to sea when the tide goes out.  The full story will be found in my NEW book 'That's Not What This Book Is About' - available July 1, 2025.  Fear and overcoming it are perhaps the two most important aspects of life.  At no point does life come easy, and it is our job to figure out how to face adversity and rise.  The ocean taught me a little of that, but being in a school play, that taught me the rest.

    The One Where I Got 'Dress Coded'...That's Not What This Book Is About

    In this episode, a student sat me down and forced me to unlearn.  The full story will be found in my NEW book 'That's Not What This Book Is About' - available July 1, 2025.  One student sat me down with one vital question and it changed me and how I educate from that day forward.  Funny part is, she doesn't even remember having the conversation with...I guess we know when people change us but not when we change people.

    The One Where I Lose Bert and Ernie...That's Not What This Book Is About

    In this episode, I step into daycare and decide that Bert and Ernie overalls are ssoooo last year.  The full story will be found in my NEW book 'That's Not What This Book Is About' - available July 1, 2025.  What we wear is an expression of who we are and how we wish to present ourselves...it has power and weight...it is the first way we are judged.  Having good conversations about what we wear is the quickest window into our soul.  And that's why I want those overalls back.

    The One Where I Was 'Nursed into Health'...That's Not What This Book Is About

    In this episode, I take into the hallways of Wellesley Hospital where I would take my first steps while my mom taught me what it was to be a superhero.  The full story will be found in my NEW book 'That's Not What This Book Is About' - available July 1, 2025.  This episode dives into who my mom is and how she was able to SHOW me what empathy, work ethic, intelligence, and accountability were.  Some parents lecture, some tell you stories and some simply say 'do what I say not what I do' - but my mom always had me by her side so I could SEE those lessons for myself.  She walked the walk...and I owe her everything for that.

    The One 'You think I wasn't going to love you anymore'...That's Not What This Book Is About'

    In this episode, I jump into all my favourite memories of my Grandma Ruby - a woman who is the best source of my humour.  The full story will be found in my NEW book 'That's Not What This Book Is About' - available July 1, 2025.  This episode may get a little 'teary' at times...but it is an important retrospect of a woman who led a life with such courage and confidence I could help but follow...a woman who tried to fix everything with a shove and a 'get my purse'...a woman I hope the whole world never forgets.

    The One Where My Life Change Because of a Post It...That's Not What This Book Is About

    In this episode, I will sit down with a high school volleyball teammate, Saley, and we will talk about how a post =-it changed my life.  The full story will be found in my NEW book 'That's Not What This Book Is About' - available July 1, 2025.  This obviously isn't just about a single post-it...Saley and I discuss the incredibly important elements of a team, finding your strength and supporting your people.  Volleyball may be just a sport to some, but to us, in those years, it was everything.  Special shout out to Gord, the coach who taught me everything.
