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.

The secret is out!! In an epic collaboration between Dave Burgess Consulting, Inc. and Ron Clark, we have released his latest book, #BeOnePercentBetter: Surpisingly Simple Ways to Transform Your School!!!
It was an honor to not only publish Ron's work, but also to write the foreword. In this episode, I read my foreword and hopefully whet your appetite for reading this project. It is the ultimate book study book...and just flat-out super practical and applicable across your entire system.

Does everything have to have a serious purpose? Is there value in exploring rabbit holes even if they end up to be completely empty at the bottom?
I tackle these questions via an absolutely RIDICULOUS personal story about one of my most recent rabbit hole explorations...I think you will find it amusing. It's okay if you are laughing at me and not with me.
Ultimately, I discuss two words that I love, frivolous and frolic, and draw some connections and, hopefully, a meaningful point.

Why does it always seem to be perfect timing when we reach out and check on people...or when people reach out and check on us?
It's because all of us are ALWAYS in the midst of battles, issues , and challenges that nobody knows anything about.
I tell a story about a recent somewhat humorous check-in that happened to me during a one of my epic car naps and then challenge YOU to grab your phone and check in on some of your friends as soon as you can...and that's today.

Have you ever heard someone say, "Good teaching is good teaching...doesn't matter what the subject is?"
I agree!! It's all about the principles of powerful pedagogy...or what I refer to as the chord structure. That's why I have been able to successfully deliver the Teach Like a Pirate program to groups of educators who are completely outside of my subject matter expertise and who teach any age of student from pre-k to adult learner.
So in this episode I dive into what I mean by the chord structure of powerful teaching.

Knowing when you have enough is a key concept when seeking happiness. Some people never find it. Never enough money. Never enough information or research in order to make a decision. Their work is never quite good enough to ship. There's always more options to explore before taking action. They have analysis paralysis. The truth is that we can many times get as good...or even better results by letting some of that pressure go and understanding the minimum effective dose that gets us almost everything that we truly need.
