Interview with Philip Williams, Director & CEO of IsoEnergy Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/isoenergy-tsxiso-multi-jurisdictional-uranium-portfolio-8580Recording date: 15th January 2026IsoEnergy Ltd. (TSX:ISO) differentiates within the uranium sector through near-term production advancement at the Tony M project in Utah while maintaining exposure to ultra-high-grade exploration upside at the Hurricane deposit in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. The company has commenced bulk sampling operations at Tony M, extracting approximately 2,000 tons of material for processing at the White Mesa Mill. This program validates three critical decision criteria for full-scale production restart: current operating costs for mining, trucking, and processing; updated capital requirements; and scalability of beneficiation techniques tested on smaller samples that could substantially reduce waste material sent to mill. The strategic toll milling arrangement with Energy Fuels' White Mesa Mill—the only operational conventional uranium mill in the United States—eliminates processing infrastructure capital while providing established metallurgical pathway, as the mill historically processed ore from Tony M during previous 2007-2008 production period. Tony M's existing surface and underground infrastructure substantially reduces restart capital intensity compared to greenfield mine development, positioning the project as IsoEnergy's primary near-term production opportunity. CEO Philip Williams emphasized the competitive advantage: "In our market cap range, there's not so many of them so we want to be one of those producers and be able to deliver material into a rapidly rising uranium price environment which we think is coming in the United States." Concurrently, IsoEnergy has mobilized two drill rigs to Hurricane for a winter campaign exceeding 5,000 meters. The program tests expansion potential within and adjacent to known ultra-high-grade mineralization, extending up to 3 kilometers along structural trend. Hurricane ranks among the world's highest-grade uranium deposits, with exceptional grade concentration reflected in small physical footprint relative to contained uranium. The exploration strategy follows the Athabasca Basin geological model where high-grade deposits form as multiple lenses along structural corridors, suggesting discovery potential for additional proximate ore zones.Portfolio diversification spans multiple development stages and top-tier jurisdictions. Beyond Tony M and Hurricane, IsoEnergy maintains the Coles Hill project in Virginia—a large-scale development opportunity potentially benefiting from federal policy support for domestic production—plus a 50% joint venture with Purepoint Energy exploring additional Athabasca Basin targets. The pending acquisition of Toro Energy, expected to close April 2026, adds Western Australian exposure and development-stage assets.IsoEnergy operates within a bifurcated uranium market where large-cap producers trade at premiums to net asset value while smaller companies trade at substantial discounts, creating consolidation conditions. The company's mid-tier market capitalization provides optionality as both potential acquirer of discounted junior assets and potential target for larger producers seeking high-grade Athabasca Basin exposure. NextGen Energy's 30% ownership provides strategic shareholder stability, while IsoEnergy maintains approximately $60 million in equity positions in smaller uranium companies.Management reports accelerating institutional investor engagement as the production timeline clarifies and uranium market fundamentals strengthen. The recent addition of commercial and marketing expertise signals preparation for uranium sales as production approaches. Near-term catalysts include the Tony M production restart decision following bulk sampling results, Hurricane drilling outcomes, Toro acquisition closure, and potential uranium import policy changes under the Section 232 investigation.Williams acknowledged uranium equity performance ultimately depends on physical price movement despite strong fundamentals: "The space can get ahead of the price for some period of time, but the price has to also move." However, when utility contracting accelerates—whether driven by policy changes, supply disruptions, or other factors—price movements can occur rapidly given concentrated uranium market structure.View IsoEnergy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/isoenergySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Sean Barnes breaks down one of the most common career myths: that hard work alone guarantees advancement. Spoiler alert: it doesn't. Sean walks through why so many high performers stall out at the manager or director level, how the Peter Principle quietly derails careers, and what it really takes to move from individual contributor to executive leader. This episode is a must-watch for professionals who feel stuck despite working harder than everyone around them.   Podcast Show Notes – Episode 264 | 01.13.2025 Episode Title: Why Hard Work Alone Won't Get You Promoted   Key Moments 00:00 – Why “do the work” isn't the whole story 00:29 – The corporate pyramid and the hustle mindset 01:06 – Why hard workers still get stuck 01:33 – Skill gaps that prevent upward movement 02:06 – The Peter Principle explained 02:31 – When titles outpace leadership capability 03:32 – Step 1: Observe leaders above you 04:16 – Executive communication vs task-level thinking 04:46 – Confidence vs competence in leadership 05:45 – Step 2: Intentionally develop new skills 06:20 – Why proximity to excellence matters 06:56 – Step 3: Apply, test, and refine 07:25 – Becoming a force multiplier 07:57 – The real path to meaningful career progression   Key Takeaways Hard work alone won't move you up. Advancement happens when you develop the skills required at the next level, not just when you work harder at your current one. Observe how leaders above you actually operate. Pay attention to how executives think, communicate, and influence, not just what they tell you to do. Leadership is learned through observation as much as instruction. Career growth shifts from output to impact. As you level up, success is no longer about individual contribution. It's about becoming a force multiplier who elevates the people and outcomes around you.   Host: Sean Barnes Website: https://www.wolfexecutives.com   https://www.seanbarnes.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanbarnes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/wolfexecutives https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewayofthewolf/ LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7284600567593684993/ The Wolf Leadership Series: https://wolfexecutives.com/wolf-leadership-series/ YouTube: youtube.thewayofthewolf.com Twitter: https://x.com/seanbarnes https://x.com/wolfexecutives Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_seanbarnes https://www.instagram.com/wolfexecutives https://www.instagram.com/the_wayofthewolf TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_seanbarnes Email: Sean@thewayofthewolf.com Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Way-of-the-Wolf-Podcast/B08JJNXJ6C Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2BTGdO25Vop3GTpGCY8Y8E?si=ea91c1ef6dd14f15

Ken McCarthy returns to the podcast to tackle a subject that affects every American: the quiet collapse of modern medicine. In this episode, we dive into Ken's new book, Diabolical Errors: The Strange and Unsettling History of Vaccine Science, a deeply researched examination of how the U.S. healthcare system reached its current breaking point.  Why is the country now marked by chronic disease epidemics, shrinking doctor–patient time, worsening maternal and infant outcomes, and an ever-expanding reliance on pharmaceutical interventions? Ken joins us to explain… Ken challenges the long-held assumption that mass medical mandates are grounded in clear, settled science. Instead, he argues that institutional authority has increasingly replaced genuine scientific inquiry, leaving patients with fewer choices, worse outcomes, and little room to ask fundamental questions. In this conversation, we explore: What history tells us about the current state of the medical system. How the American medical system became so expensive, bureaucratic, and ineffective. Why chronic and metabolic diseases are exploding despite advanced care. How fear, incentives, and coercion shape medical policy. Whether there is a realistic path forward for patients and practitioners alike. Drawing on decades of experience as an Internet pioneer, researcher, and systems thinker, Ken connects the dots between information control, institutional corruption, and the erosion of medical trust. If you're ready to question assumptions and examine how we got here, this discussion is for you! To learn more about Ken McCarthy and his work, click here.

Kirk Cameron came out recently saying that he leaned toward a view of conditionalism which is a flavor of annihilationism. Many people started to ask, “Is Kirk Cameron a heretic?” Todd Friel described why he thinks annihilationism is not a heresy and why therefore Cameron is not a heretic. To do this, he utilized a common method that categorizes each theology as either “Essential” or “Non-Essential”. In his view, to be classified as a heresy, the wrong idea must be about an essential doctrine (he also seemed to say if you hold to a heresy, then you are a heretic, but that may have just been in the context of Cameron's position as a teacher) The problem is that this method of categorization regarding heresy does not come from Scripture. So we feel that it is worth discussing what the bible actually says about heresy and what makes a man a heretic. While Friel and many others say that heresy is different than error or being wrong, the Greek word that is translated heresy means “to choose”. The word also contains the idea of creating divisions. So heresy fundamentally means to choose to believe something that is not true. But does this mean that everyone who chooses to believe something that is not true is a heretic. NO. Absolutely not. According to scripture, a heretic is one who refuses to repent when corrected and who teaches their false view to others, causing division in the body of Christ.So, why is it dangerous to make heresy to hold to something essential? Because what scripture teaches us is that God loves those things that we do out of faith and he hates those who love lawlessness. And lawlessness is not limited to “essential” doctrines, but springs up in many places and defiles many. It's also dangerous to define heresy as something other than error, as it makes distinctions and categories that God does not make. It lets us give ourselves a pass on willful disobedience to the word, and it ignores the fact that all doctrine is connected. As we will discuss in this episode, annihilationism attacks the nature of the atonement and the depth of God's justice and mercy. This is true of many other doctrines that would not be considered “essential”. So we disagree strongly with Todd Friel about whether annihilationism is a heresy. But is Kirk Cameron a heretic? Watch the episode, and let us know what you think in the comments (more importantly, let us know what you believe the scriptures say, and help us correct our thinking if we are wrong).

Is corruption the exception… or the rule?“People assume you fall for a con because you're naïve.In reality, you fall because the con aligns with what you already know to be true.”In this King Hero interview, I'm joined by Achille Currado, whose nearly 20 years in policing gave him a front-row seat to realities most people never see—and few are willing to talk about.Long before corruption became a public talking point, Achille had already witnessed it firsthand.During his career, he was exposed to:Systemic corruptionCultural corruption—where unethical behavior becomes normalizedBlatant abuse of powerHe personally witnessed:Careers destroyed for personal and political reasonsReputations manipulated behind the scenesCriminal acts quietly covered up in the name of “the system”Over time, a clear pattern emerged:Advancement often required compromising one's moralsThose who refused to comply became problemsA deeply entrenched “us vs. them” mentality took holdWithin this culture:Officers came to see themselves as above civiliansAccountability became optionalLoyalty to the system outweighed loyalty to truth“That context matters—because cons don't start with lies. They start with truths.”In this conversation, we explore how corruption sustains itself not through deception alone, but through alignment with partial truths, cultural conditioning, and unspoken agreements. We'll look at how systems drift, how good people get caught inside them, and what it takes to see clearly once you're already in.This is a grounded, sobering, and deeply human conversation about power, perception, and the cost of integrity.Bio:Born and raised in London, Ontario, I began my career as a youth worker in a maximum-security facility for young offenders, where I worked for seven years. Driven by a desire to serve the community, I joined the London Police Service in 1998. Over nearly two decades, I worked as a patrol officer, in recruiting and training, within the detective office as a crime analyst and in Intelligence, and as a report auditor. These experiences offered a unique perspective on how policing operates from the inside.Join us live.

In this episode of Conversations with Alan, I'm joined by Ely Winkler, Director of Advancement for Eshel, for an honest and deeply personal conversation about faith, identity, and belonging.Ely shares his journey growing up Orthodox as the son of a rabbi, navigating the fear and uncertainty of coming out, and searching for a place where he could live authentically without abandoning his faith. He reflects on pivotal moments—from working behind the scenes on a groundbreaking panel at Yeshiva University to feeling disconnected from synagogue life, and ultimately finding his way back home.We talk about the profound impact of discovering Eshel, what it meant for Ely personally, and how his work there now helps LGBTQ+ individuals, families, rabbis, and communities build more inclusive Orthodox spaces. Ely also speaks movingly about lessons learned from his rabbi father, the power of compassion, and how change often happens quietly—one conversation at a time.This episode offers thoughtful insight, practical wisdom, and hope for anyone interested in questions of identity, tradition, and what it truly means to belong.

Lee Riedinger, Ph.D., knows the history of Oak Ridge and its connections to the University of Tennessee like he knows the back of his hand. His book, “Critical Connections: The University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge from the Dawn of the Atomic Age to the Present,” explores the connections that exist between UT, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, ORAU and other key stakeholders. In this episode of Further Together, Riedinger talks to hosts Michael Holtz and Amber Davis about ORAU's role in the Oak Ridge story, including how ORNL may not have remained open were it not for the efforts of William Pollard, ORAU's founder, Kay (Katherine) Way, a UT physics professor, and others to open up what was then Clinton Laboratories to a consortia of universities. Additionally, Riedinger explains that ORAU was instrumental in the creation of the UT-Battelle partnership that now manages ORNL. Check out this fascinating discussion of Riedinger's career, his book, and ORAU's vital role in keeping Oak Ridge at the forefront of science. Lee Riedinger is an emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, on the faculty since 1971 and retired in 2019, and also served as the founding Director of the Bredesen Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Graduate Education from 2010 to 2019.

This episode of the Baltic Ways podcast welcomes Dr. Liina-Ly Roos, assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the German, Nordic, Slavic+ department. The discussion centers on Liina-Ly's recent book: The Not-Quite Child: Colonial Histories, Racialization, and Swedish Exceptionalism (University of Washington Press, 2025), in which she analyzes films and literature that portray Indigenous Sámi, Tornedalian, and Finnish-speaking children and how these figures disrupt the normative understanding of growing up in Sweden. These cultural texts are filled with tensions of assimilation, invisibility, and the struggle to grow in a society that demands conformity to a specific “Swedishness.” The discussion also considers parallels to the Baltic context. Dr. Roos is a graduate of the University of Washington and a grant recipient from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies.Baltic Ways is a podcast from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies, produced in partnership with the Baltic Initiative at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

When you learn a musical instrument, did your teacher ever tell you that you have to practice at least half hour a day? Otherwise don't come back. And if you've ever had a week where you goofed off and you didn't do it, when you go back to your teacher, you really don't have any questions. But if you work hard and you do your half hour a day, inevitably, when you go back, you're going to have questions. The teacher knows also. If you don't have any questions, he or she will say, "Oh, you didn't practice. Did you?" The same way these are important states to be in where we feel a little bit unstable, because then when we come to the answers, which you will as you continue to hear in chant, or when you find a competent person, and you say, "What about this?" Then you get the perfect answer. It fills in part of your repertoire so that you become fortified more and more. This is the difference. There are various classifications of advancement in devotional service; there's the kaniṣṭha, madhyama, and uttama. All it means is beginning, middle and upper, but there are unlimited gradations within those also like they're kaniṣṭha-kaniṣṭhas and madhyama-kaniṣṭhas and uttama-kaniṣṭhas. Fill in the rest—you can do the math on your own. And in one description of of these levels, the kaniṣṭha-adhikārī has komala-śraddhā. Komala is like when a little sprout comes up. It's very delicate, so you have to protect it a little bit. And it's described there that their faith is a little bit tender, so a kaniṣṭha-adhikārī, when hearing atheistic arguments, can sometimes be bewildered for a little while, before the faith comes back. The designation between a kaniṣṭha-adhikārī and a madhyama-adhikārī is that the madhyama-adhikārī has very firm faith and is not dissuaded by various arguments, but also he is not expert in śāstra. Doesn't know how it all fits together, and is not able to come up with logical replies to atheistic arguments. But the uttamādhikārī has firm faith and also has śāstric references; is called śāstra-sunipuṇa, which means kind of a 1600 on your SAT, but only in śāstra—knows how it all fits together and has these logical arguments. So whatever position one is in, that's fine. We just make advancement from there by hearing and chanting. It's very purposeful, actually, it's for our edification as we hear chant together and churn these topics more and more, it's natural that you'll fill in a lot of these gaps that you may have. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #globalyouthretreat #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #kri

Hey friends,If you've ever looked at the world and thought, “This is too much, I don't even know where to start,” you are not alone. Culture is moving at warp speed, and as Christian parents, it can feel impossible to keep up, let alone know how to guide our kids through it all with clarity, calm, and conviction.In today's episode, I'm joined by my Denison Ministries teammates and friends, Connor Jones and Micah Tomasella. These two are not only culture watchers and podcast hosts, but they're also dads in the thick of raising littles, so they get it. Together, we talk about how to engage culture without being consumed by it, and how to stay grounded when the headlines won't stop coming.Here's what we cover:How to decide what's actually worth paying attention to (and what you can ignore)How to enjoy entertainment and trends without letting them become idolsWhy biblical grounding matters more than having all the right answersHow to have conversations with your kids that don't feel like lecturesThis one is practical, honest, and encouraging, especially if you've been feeling overwhelmed, out of your depth, or tempted to just check out entirely.Connor Jones is the Director of Performance Marketing and Micah Tomasella is the Director of Advancement at Denison Ministries. Together, they host The Culture Brief podcast, where they break down what's happening in the world and how to think about it through a biblical lens. Both are young dads navigating the same parenting pressures and culture shifts that many of us face daily. Their goal? Help Christians stay rooted in truth while walking wisely in a noisy world.Let's keep showing up with curiosity, courage, and grace. You don't have to know everything, just stay rooted.With love,Steph(00:00) Introduction to the Hosts and Their Backgrounds(04:54) Navigating Culture as Parents(11:15) Engaging with Cultural Moments(14:49) Discussing Cultural Events with Kids(19:08) Fostering Healthy Conversations about Culture(19:48) Navigating Theological Questions with Children(22:14) The Importance of Open Dialogue in Parenting(26:06) Equipping Ourselves for Cultural Conversations(28:24) Encouragement for Overwhelmed Parents(32:42) Trusting God's Plan in ParentingResources MentionedDwell Bible in a Year Give to Christian ParentingSign up for Morning MinuteChristian ParentingCulture Brief PodcastDenison ForumDenison MinistriesPrefer video?

The essence of nuclear governance is safety. That's not only because any accident can destroy thousands of lives – it's also because the harm unfolds over time, affecting generations. It can destroy entire regions, as nuclear radiation can make them uninhabitable for a long time. It is thus a matter of common sense that safety has to be a higher priority than any other consideration -- including energy security.  Now, the Parliament passed the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Bill. It was passed with minimal debate. This Bill repeals previous legislation that governed civil nuclear activity: the Atomic Energy Act 1962, and the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage (CLND) Act 2010. The new Bill, for the first time in India, throws open nuclear power generation to private players. It also exempts nuclear suppliers from any liability.  Taken together, what do the provisions of the SHANTI Bill mean for the safety of Indian citizens? What happens in case of a radiation leak? And does India really need nuclear power at a time when other renewables are getting cheaper?  Guest: Suvrat Raju, a physicist associated with the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace, who has written on nuclear issues for many years.

The health of our democracy depends entirely on active civic participation. In Virginia, we have elections every year, often more than once a year, so we have 365 days a year to be engaged. In this episode, we speak with Amini Bonane, a Congolese American Commissioner, community organizer, and award-winning advocate for women & girls, and  Darrlynn Franklin, the President of the Alexandria Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), who has also served as a member of the Executive Committee since 2017.HBCUs are more than institutions of higher education — they are incubators of Black excellence, innovation, and leadership. They were created out of necessity, but they continue to thrive out of purpose.Even today, HBCUs represent just 3% of colleges and universities, yet they produce:    •    Nearly 20% of all Black college graduates,    •    50% of Black doctors and lawyers,    •    40% of Black engineers,    •    And some of the most influential voices in education, science, business, and culture.HBCUs remain essential because they provide access, belonging, and opportunity. They level the playing field by giving students the resources, mentorship, and culturally centered support that many PWIs simply can't replicate.

Send us a textI remember being a young roleplayer diving into my first rpg's. Character creation was similar in most of the games on the market. Make a very basic character, adventure with them, kill monsters, find treasure, gain experience points, gain levels, get more skills, rinse, repeat. Back in the day we would memorize the XP charts so we would know when our characters would level up.Those old TTRPG's were bad enough, but when computer programmers took their favorite table top games and ported them into the computer world the character advancement concept of “leveling up” started to look like heroine dealers giving their junkie friends the first taste for free.Over the years character advancement has been closely tied to the leveling up concept, but I've noticed something interesting as I've become an older and more mature gamer.I don't care about leveling up.It's not the character advancement I'm looking for. I think I first became aware of the anti-leveling up faction when I first started playing Traveller all of those years ago. In Traveller you create a seasoned, experienced character. After character creation nothing really changes. And then there was Call of Cthulhu a game in which your character is more likely to get worse as you play and not better.Funny enough, those are my two favorite roleplaying games.In this episode Christina, and I are going to talk about character advancement. The traditional methods and why it was innovative and important at the time and the current ideas of character advancement and how they have changed over the years.First let's start with the Doc.Christina, what are you personal thoughts on character advancement, before we get into all the scientific nitty gritty?Kick to Christina

How should Christian faith shape work in an era of pluralism, fear, and systemic inequality? Sociologist Elaine Howard Ecklund (Rice University) is presenting new insights for faith at work through data, theology, and lived experience. "People love to talk about individual ethics … but what was really hard for them to think about was, what would it mean to make our workplace better as a whole?" In this episode, Ecklund joins Mark Labberton to reflect on moving from individual morality toward systemic responsibility, dignity, and other-centred Christian witness at work. Together they discuss faith and work, the gender and race gaps created by systemic injustice, fear and power, religious diversity, rest and human limits, gender and racial marginalization, and the cost of a credible Christian witness. Episode Highlights "People love to talk about individual ethics." "What would it mean to make our workplace better as a whole?" "People are much more apt to take us seriously if we first take them seriously." "Suppression of faith in particular is not the answer." "God is God and I am not." About Elaine Howard Ecklund Elaine Howard Ecklund is professor of sociology at Rice University and director of the Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance.

This week, we're talking about acute prescribing in homeopathy—what it is, what it isn't, and why it's so often misunderstood.What actually makes something acute? When should you prescribe… and when should you let the body do its job?And why don't homeopaths just take a remedy every time they get sick?We break down how acutes relate to your chronic state, why over-prescribing can backfire, and why rest is sometimes the most “homeopathic” choice of all.If you want a clearer, smarter way to think about homeopathic acute care, this episode is your guide. Stay tuned for part 2!Welcome to Strange, Rare & Peculiar — a weekly podcast with Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray of the Institute for the Advancement of Homeopathy and the Academy of Homeopathy Education.This season, we're focusing on truth — what it means to Aude Sapere (“dare to know”) in homeopathy today.

Over 100,000 Ukrainian refugees have come to Estonia at some point since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Of those, tens of thousands remain in the country, building their own communities and integrating with local Estonians. For many, art is an important assertion of Ukrainian identity, but also a bridge to their new neighbors. Scholar and filmmaker Parker Watt set out to document these stories and embarked on an integration journey of his own during a year spent in Estonia, finding meaning at each step, proverbial and literal, along the way.Image: Facebook | Ukrainian song and dance group “Volya”Baltic Ways is a podcast from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies, produced in partnership with the Baltic Initiative at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

Today we are delighted to have a guest joining us for our hallway conversation: Abby's long-time friend and former colleague, Katie Reitsma. Katie currently serves as a high school teacher in Iowa, where she is a master at connecting with kids. Abby invited Katie to her Applied Educational Psychology class as a guest speaker as they focused on classroom management strategies. Abby interviewed Katie, and our future teachers raised questions as well–and we put them in front of the microphone to turn it into a podcast episode. Katie and Abby have all kinds of great ideas for building relationships with students and mitigating challenging classroom behaviors. We hope you'll learn a few things as you listen in as well! We always love hearing from you, dear listeners. You can drop us a line at hallwayconvospod@gmail.com. Hallway Conversations is sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education.
