On our return to the podcast, we were grateful to have been joined by Chris Dalman. Chris graduated from Palma High School in 1988, and he moved on to play football for Stanford University, where he graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Political Science. He then played for the San Francisco 49ers, where he won a Super Bowl in 1995. After his playing career, Chris moved on to coach for the Atlanta Falcons and Stanford University before returning back home to teach at Palma School, where he is now the President. In this episode, we spoke about his journey up until this point in his life. We spoke about his upbringing, the hardships he faced, what football means to him, adapting to the different transitions in his life, and leadership. Finally, we touched a little bit on mental health and the importance of reaching out for help. Chris mentioned that "It's okay to ask the world: How do you do this?" Especially when making transitions in our lives, it is okay to ask for help. "It is really outdated to say that grown men can't show that they are having bad days."

This week, The Unknown sat down to speak more on an issue they find to be very important and serious in our society. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics in 2019, one out of every five students reports being bullied. We talked about the difference between growing up in the American school system and the school system in England and how bullying is approached overseas. We talked about our experiences with bullying, the way we felt at the time, and what we did to overcome that. Although people may still live with the effects of bullying later in life, don't forget that you are unique and people will love you because of that. Be you. Be Kind. You are not alone. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theunknownpodcast1/support

The Unknown jumps into a topic that is very important for human beings. It is the way we connect, get along with others, and build relationships. We talk about relationships with friends, family, acquaintances, and significant others. In addition to talking about the importance of some sort of relationship, we also talk about the struggle with finding the right people to surround yourself with. We are in no way any experts on this field, so we all gave our opinions based off our own experience with relationships. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theunknownpodcast1/support

We were joined this week by Professor Bruce Batterson, who has been a business professor at Hastings College since 2013. He shared with us his long journey to find what he truly loves to do. Starting off as a radio broadcaster and being part of a band, he then transitioned to being a municipal bond lawyer, and finally to leaving his mark on the students he teaches. He elaborated on what creativity actually means to him, and how society's definition of creativity can sometimes leave a negative impact on people, especially those that believe they aren't "creative" enough. Leaving an impact on the world does not necessarily mean that you are part of something big or perform a big act... sometimes all it takes is leaving a positive impact on those you interact with on the daily to hopefully create a ripple effect. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theunknownpodcast1/support

We are back after a week off!! During these tough times, it is really easy for many people in society to go through struggles they have never faced before. Some may feel really lonely, and some may lose hope. Mental health is a very important topic that we want to spread awareness in, and we are very happy that Holly Bosley was able to join us to talk about it with us. She talked about how sometimes even the closest people in our lives could be dealing with mental health issues, and we may never find out about it. This is one of the many reasons why Holly and Francisco have become big advocates for mental health. We also mentioned how Mental Health should be addressed earlier in a kid's life. In addition to that, Holly gave her thoughts on how we can work together as a society to try to improve the outlook on mental health and how we can help break the stigma. Don't forget everyone: You are not alone in your struggle. Have Hope.
