Podcast Overview
This is another special episode for me. I interviewed a former student of mine who I was blessed to work with for almost half of this education career through our gifted program, FIRST LEGO League, student voice organizations, and more.
In this episode, we explore the topic of leadership and his story about how a young man at this age has been able to develop and understand the qualities of leadership.
As you listen to this podcast, remember that Ryan was 16 at the time. We recorded this episode back in August of 2017. Ryan is now a year older and wiser and heading into his senior year.
I have been holding on to this episode for this new season and am so excited to finally get to the ears of others.
I hope this episode reminds all of us in education how powerful and insightful our students can be if we support them
Enjoy!
