100 Hikes

Let’s trade the boardroom and the teacher’s lounge for a trail. Stories, leadership insights to challenge the status quo, total screw ups, honest reflection, and emotional achievements from my first quarter century as a teacher, administrator, musician, and survivalist of mild to moderate institutional chaos. Some stories offer hard-earned advice and some great songs to check out, while some may be just experiences you want to laugh and relate to…or just avoid altogether. Want to hear about it over a hike? Grab your shoes, hit play, and walk with me. (Playlist in show notes)
