Matt and Eric kick off a 5-week Ethan Hawke run by carpe'ing the f'n diem out of 1989's DEAD POETS SOCIETY - starring Hawke as a shy, insecure lad who's inspired by Robin Williams' zany (kind-of-irresponsible) prep school poetry teacher.

In this episode of Better Call Daddy, host Reena Friedman Watts sits down with Kiko Zang, business executive, tech founder, and opinion leader building human-centric consumer products. Kiko is the Founder & CEO of Chomp, a social game that rewards honesty instead of punishing it and she's on a mission to fix what she calls the "performative internet." Kiko opens up about her path from boarding school in China to New Zealand and the United States, the anti-authoritarian streak she carried as a kid, and the long road to understanding her own identity across cultures. The conversation gets candid as she discusses her experience with open relationships and how it reshaped her views on love, trust, kindness, and loyalty then turns to the bigger picture: why social media rewards performance over authenticity, why women in particular self-censor online, and why honest human belief may be the scarcest, most valuable data in the age of AI. Kiko also shares her founder journey from COO at Orca (one of Solana's largest decentralized exchanges, where she helped raise $19M and grow the platform to $1B+ in 24-hour trading volume) to building Chomp, which drew 50,000 beta users sharing millions of honest answers and raised $3.6M from backers including BlueYard, JSquare, and Accomplice placing her among the 2% of female-led startups to raise venture capital. Chomp launches on iOS in 2026. Equal parts personal memoir and founder story, this episode covers identity, relationships, resilience, the loneliness epidemic, the funding gap for female founders, and what it takes to build something real in a "dead internet" full of bots and AI slop. Keywords: Kiko Zang, boarding school identity, open relationships podcast, cultural identity, female tech founder, women in venture capital, social media and authenticity, dead internet theory, Chomp app, Solana Orca DEX, honest opinions app, read the room, loneliness epidemic, Better Call Daddy podcast, Reena Friedman Watts

Evan Campbell from The Rectory School in Connecticut discusses his 17-year journey from college tennis player to Dean of Students and interim Director of Secondary School Advising, while also coaching varsity tennis and assisting with varsity hockey. He explains what a junior boarding school is (boarding grades 5–9, with only 11 in the U.S.), how Rectory supports varied student outcomes, and how proximity to neighboring high schools like Pomfret enables shared facilities without being a guaranteed feeder path. Campbell compares coaching in hockey versus tennis, emphasizing the mental demands of individual sports, the value of students playing multiple sports, and how his dean role shaped his coaching through consistency, accountability, and care. He breaks down head vs. assistant coaching responsibilities, humility, role clarity, and concludes with a mindset shift toward intentionally building personal connections with each student-athlete.00:00 Meet Evan Campbell00:37 Many Hats at Rectory01:32 How He Got Here02:19 What Is Junior Boarding06:17 Rectory and Pomfret Neighbors08:47 Coaching Tennis in Winter09:38 Multi Sport Upbringing12:09 Pond Hockey Culture13:35 Dean of Students Reality14:28 Discipline Through Relationships18:21 Dean Role Shapes Coaching21:28 Head vs Assistant Coach26:36 Assistant Coach Humility27:22 Multi Sport Coaching Benefits29:19 Hockey vs Tennis Intensity32:11 Tennis as Mental Therapy35:08 Team vs Individual Lessons35:54 Head vs Assistant Reps46:20 Building Coaching Staff Roles48:41 Delegation and Practice Splits51:48 Changing Minds on Connection54:47 Final Wrap and Golf Banter

Why can transitions feel disproportionately difficult for former boarders?In this short episode of An Evolving Man Podcast, Piers Cross reflects on his own nervousness before leaving for a workshop and retreat—and explores how apparently ordinary transitions can activate much older emotional patterns.Drawing on the work of Nick Duffell and Thurstine Basset in Trauma, Abandonment & Privilege, Piers considers how leaving home repeatedly as a child can make later transitions—holidays, travel, moving, ending therapy or beginning something new—feel unexpectedly uncomfortable.He shares a simple somatic practice: pause, notice where the nervousness is held in the body, breathe and allow yourself to feel what is happening rather than letting fear become the hidden engine behind constant activity.Piers also explores another possibility: rather than labelling the sensation as anxiety, experiment with saying:“I'm excited.”For former boarders who learned not to become too emotionally “up” or too “down”, rediscovering excitement may itself be part of the healing process.A short reflection on boarding school syndrome, transitions, anxiety, nervous system regulation, somatic awareness and learning to experience change differently.Find out more about Piers Cross: https://piers-cross.com

Im fünften und letzten Teil unserer Reihe über die Indianerkriege blicken Moritz und Dominik auf die letzten Kapitel des bewaffneten Widerstands der indigenen Nationen Nordamerikas. Sie beginnen mit den Boarding Schools, deren Ziel es war, indigene Kinder ihrer Kultur, Sprache und Identität zu entfremden, und erzählen anschließend die dramatische Flucht der Nez Perce unter Chief Joseph. Außerdem geht es um Buffalo Bill und die Vermarktung des „Wilden Westens“, um den Propheten Wovoka und die Hoffnung, die der Geistertanz vielen Menschen gab, sowie um das Massaker von Wounded Knee, das oft als symbolisches Ende der Indianerkriege gilt. Abschließend werfen die beiden einen Blick auf die Oklahoma Land Runs, die weitere Enteignung indigener Gebiete und die Situation der Native Americans bis in die Gegenwart. Eine Folge über das Ende eines jahrhundertelangen Konflikts, den Verlust von Heimat und Kultur, aber auch über das Fortbestehen indigener Identität bis heute.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (7.13) A nasty SoCal heatwave is rolling in with sky-high humidity — we’re all sweating balls out here! Wildfires have sparked but firefighters are working hard on containment. Paris Hilton is back in the news as an advocate fighting to shut down the brutal Provo, Utah boarding school she attended as a teen, though we can’t help missing the old “Simple Life” Paris from the aughts. There’s a vegetation fire called the Zebra Fire burning in Azusa north of the 210, and don’t forget the shirtless nut in East Hollywood who jumped on a Waymo’s windshield, yelling at the sensors and ripping the car apart. In Boyle Heights, residents are dealing with an unbearable rotten stench, flies, and rodents thanks to the 85 million pounds of food rotting at the burned Linear Logistics warehouse, plus a burst water main leaving people without water nearby. On a slightly better note, two corpse flowers are about to bloom at the Huntington Library — those things only flower for 24–48 hours every few years and smell exactly as bad as the name suggests. In celebrity news, comedian Tom Segura and his wife Christina Pazsitzky announced they’re divorcing but will keep doing their podcast “Your Mom’s House” together (that should go smoothly!), while Brad Pitt’s kids Zahara and Maddox took out newspaper ads announcing they’re dropping “Pitt” and keeping “Jolie.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is a therapeutic boarding school, and how can it help teenagers facing anxiety, depression, trauma, school refusal, and other mental health challenges? In this episode Will sits down with Peter Chorney, Executive Director of Grove School, one of the nation's oldest therapeutic boarding schools. Peter shares how Grove School has spent more than 92 years evolving its approach to residential treatment, combining academics, clinical care, family involvement, creative arts, and outdoor experiences to help teenagers build resilience, confidence, and hope. Peter also reflects on growing up on the Grove School campus, following in the footsteps of his father Richard Chorney, and leading a therapeutic boarding school through a rapidly changing mental health landscape. Together, Will and Peter discuss why family engagement is essential to successful treatment, how today's adolescents are arriving with greater levels of trauma and isolation than ever before, and why connection, community, and time in nature continue to play a vital role in helping teens and families heal. Whether you're a parent exploring residential treatment, a mental health professional, or simply interested in the evolution of therapeutic schools, this episode offers an inside look at one of the field's longest-standing and most respected programs. This podcast is supported by White Mountain Adventure Institute (wmai.org), offering adventure inspired retreats and coaching facilitated by Will White.

Prince George is set to attend Eton College, continuing a long tradition of future leaders being educated in elite boarding schools.But is this really the best way to prepare someone for leadership in the 21st century?In this episode of An Evolving Man Podcast, I explore five reasons why we need to stop sending our future leaders to boarding school.Drawing on modern leadership literature, boarding school syndrome research, attachment theory and the work of writers such as Nick Duffell, Joy Schaverien, Sue Gerhardt, Richard Beard, Louise Champion, Daniel Goleman, Antonio Damasio, Kouzes and Posner, I ask whether boarding school really creates the qualities we need in leaders today.We explore:• Why great leadership needs love• Why boarding school often teaches children to live without love• How emotional repression affects decision-making• Why emotional intelligence matters more than ever in leadership• How boarding school separates future leaders from the people they will one day lead• Why secure attachment supports a flexible brain• Why resilience is not the same as dissociation• The difference between confidence and a survival mask• Why command-and-control leadership is no longer enough• Why future leaders need compassion, connection and emotional maturityThis is not simply about Prince George.It is about what kind of leaders we want to create.If we continue sending future leaders into environments where love, vulnerability, emotional expression and ordinary human connection are removed, should we be surprised when those leaders later struggle with empathy, intimacy, transparency and care?The future needs emotionally intelligent leaders.Leaders who can listen.Leaders who can feel.Leaders who can connect.Leaders who understand the people they are here to serve.#BoardingSchoolSyndrome #Leadership #EmotionalIntelligence #Eton #PrinceGeorge #BoardingSchoolTrauma #CompassionateLeadership #FutureLeadersTimestamps00:00 Introduction00:35 Prince George, Eton and future leadership01:10 Why this conversation matters01:55 The five reasons we need to rethink boarding school02:45 Reason 1: Great leadership needs love04:20 Boarding school and the absence of love05:25 Reason 2: Emotional repression06:30 Why leaders need emotional information07:15 Reason 3: Separation from those they will lead08:05 Reason 4: Secure attachment and the flexible brain09:15 Reason 5: Confidence, resilience and dissociation10:35 Why command-and-control leadership is no longer enough11:10 Final reflections and invitation to comment---Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems. He also runs online men's groups for ex-boarders, retreats and a podcast called An Evolving Man. He is also the author of How to Survive and Thrive in Challenging Times.

On the Context Coaching Podcast, athletic administrator Dustin Mones (Monte Vista Christian) shares his journey from a multi-sport athlete in Connecticut to boarding school coach and athletic director roles at Eaglebrook and Stony Brook, then returning to Monte Vista as AD. He discusses early coaching insecurity, the importance of mentors for new athletic directors, and how small paperwork mistakes can directly impact student opportunities. Mones reflects on coaching learned under Don Keithley—discipline, attention to detail, and integrating faith—and contrasts boarding school co-curricular expectations with Monte Vista's day-school model, noting he misses deeper daily student connections. The conversation covers resisting youth sports specialization, training both physical and mental/spiritual aspects, simplifying practices, aligning consequences with behavior, and blending “old school” standards with empathy.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro00:38 From Athlete to Educator02:40 Boarding School Coaching Life03:31 Returning as Athletic Director04:20 Year One Lessons and Why07:35 AD Transition Challenges10:00 Paperwork Mistakes and Details12:07 Mentors and Coaching Philosophy15:11 Junior Boarding School Insights18:05 All In vs Balance23:55 Day School Shift and Connection26:20 Multi Sport vs Specialization29:44 Co Curricular Requirements31:31 Required Co-Curriculars Model32:27 Arts and Athletics Crossover33:30 Boarding Program Considerations34:52 Culture Builders for Coaches36:27 Training Mind and Body38:37 Structuring Lifts and Practice43:49 Advice to Younger Coaches45:58 Mentoring and Keeping It Simple49:43 Entitlement and Life Lessons52:13 Old School vs New School Coaching57:05 Consequences That Align59:57 Final Wrap and Thanks

Do you question your calling in life? What if your calling isn't what you planned? In this episode, I sit down with Norrie Steyn to talk through the twists and turns that have shaped his life. He grew up in a small South African town, moved across the world to play college golf, and eventually stepped away from a stable career path to pursue ministry. We talk about the moments that pushed him out of what was familiar, the tension between financial security and purpose, and the way he's learned to invest in people through steady, relational work. Norrie shares what it's like to carry his faith into the professional golf world where it isn't always welcomed. Here are a few takeaways from our conversation: Stepping out of comfort zones — Growth often begins when we're willing to leave what's familiar. Purpose over security — Choosing calling over comfort leads to a more honest, meaningful life. Relational ministry matters — Real transformation tends to happen through personal connection. Authenticity in skeptical environments — Staying grounded in your mission matters most when it's tested. Meaning beyond material gains — Fulfillment is found in faith, service, and relationships. If you're navigating your own crossroads or trying to make sense of the next step in front of you, Norrie's story offers a steady reminder that courage usually shows up in the small, consistent decisions we make along the way.

Join Zach and Michelle for an incredibly powerful and deeply moving conversation with Tebo Mpanza as he shares his radical journey from growing up in South Africa surrounded by cultural Christianity, navigating identity and faith as a teenager in England, and discovering what it truly means to keep a soft heart in a world that rewards hardness, ambition, and self-protection. This episode unpacks what it looks like to move from performance-driven ministry to restorative leadership, from proving yourself to protecting your heart, and from striving for success to trusting God's definition of what winning actually means. Tebo opens up about his grandmother's genuine faith that shaped his trajectory, his years in church leadership and pastoral ministry, the burnout and depletion that came from running hard in his twenties, and the healing he experienced when someone finally told him he didn't have to prove himself. Discover what it means to guard your heart above all else, why keeping a soft heart is costly but essential, and how the Lord gives us a tender, responsive heart rather than a stony, stubborn one. This is a story about choosing love daily, recognising where ambition becomes an idol, and learning that your legacy and family may depend on your ability to remain soft. BURNED OUT IN MINISTRY?

מחזה פסח.En: Shira opened the door, and her three steps towards the small stage were well-practiced, but her eyes were solely focused on examining the beginners in preparation for the year-end performance - the Passover play.He: זה היה תפקיד גדול עבור צווי, תלמיד חרוץ שהעדיף לוותר על תשומת הלב, ועכשיו היה אחראי על הבימוי.En: It was a big role for Tzvi, a diligent student who preferred to avoid attention, and now was in charge of directing.He: הוא עבד קשה, אך חש לחוץ ולא בטוח בתפקידו כמנהיג.En: He worked hard but felt pressured and unsure in his role as a leader.He: על הבמה עמד יונה, הכוכב הספונטני של המחזה, עובד על טקסט שהוא לעתים קרובות שוכח.En: On the stage stood Yonah, the spontaneous star of the play, working on a text he often forgot.He: הוא הביט סביב, מחכה לתגובות מהקהל הריק.En: He looked around, waiting for reactions from the empty audience.He: "מה דעתך על תוספת קטנה שלי?En: "What do you think of my little addition?"He: ", שאל יונה את צווי, כשבתוך אחת ידיו מצנפת בד אדומה.En: Yonah asked Tzvi, holding a red fabric cap in one hand.He: צווי נאנח.En: Tzvi sighed.He: "יונה, יש לנו תסריט ברור", אמר, קולו רועד מעט.En: "Yonah, we have a clear script," he said, his voice slightly trembling.He: אבל מבטו של יונה היה מלא ביטחון עצמי שמשך אליו את הקהל הפנימי שלו.En: But Yonah's look was full of self-confidence, attracting his own internal audience.He: שירה נענעה בראשה חיוך.En: Shira shook her head with a smile.He: "צווי, אולי תאפשר לו קצת חופש בשביל היצירתיות שלו?En: "Tzvi, maybe let him have some freedom for his creativity?"He: " היא לחשה כשהתקרבה.En: she whispered as she approached.He: צווי חשב, גם מועד, שמא נראה קטן בעיני שירה.En: Tzvi thought, hesitant, for fear of appearing foolish in Shira's eyes.He: הוא ידע שעליו לכבד את עבודתה על הבמה, אבל הכבדות של המחויבות העיקה עליו.En: He knew he had to respect her work on stage, but the weight of the responsibility was weighing on him.He: השעות חלפו והתחילה החזרה הגנרלית, אבל שום דבר לא הכין את צווי לקראת הקטסטרופה.En: The hours passed, and the final rehearsal began, but nothing prepared Tzvi for the catastrophe.He: סצינה שחשבה שתהיה חזקה החלה להתפרק.En: A scene he thought would be strong began to unravel.He: ההתרחשויות הלכו והסתבכו כשכובעו של יונה נפל ושירה לא הצליחה למצוא את האביזר החשוב בזמן.En: The events became complicated when Yonah's hat fell, and Shira failed to find the crucial prop in time.He: צווי, מותש ומתוסכל, מצא את הקול שהוא אף פעם לא העלה קודם ומתח ויכוח קולני עם יונה.En: Exhausted and frustrated, Tzvi found a voice he had never raised before and started a loud argument with Yonah.He: כולם בהו בתדהמה כשזעם צווי יצא החוצה.En: Everyone stared in amazement as Tzvi's anger came out.He: שירה ניגשה אליו בעדינות.En: Shira approached him gently.He: "צווי, בוא נקשיב זה לזה", אמרה בשלווה.En: "Tzvi, let's listen to each other," she said calmly.He: פתאום הוא הבין שהיא צודקת.En: Suddenly he realized she was right.He: יחד הם ישבו עם כולם בשולחן עגול, עם תה מתוק ועוגיות.En: Together they sat with everyone at a round table, with sweet tea and cookies.He: הם דיברו, צחקו, והבינו איך לשלב את היצירתיות של יונה עם הנחיות הבמה המדויקות של צווי.En: They talked, laughed, and understood how to combine Yonah's creativity with Tzvi's precise stage directions.He: ההצגה עברה שינוי כיוון.En: The play took a new direction.He: ערב הופעת סוף השנה, הכל הרגיש נכון.En: On the evening of the year-end performance, everything felt right.He: האנרגיה בחדר הייתה חיובית ואופטימית.En: The energy in the room was positive and optimistic.He: כשהווילון נפתח, התנועה סביב הבמה הייתה חיה, עם יתרונות הטקסט המועברים כהרגלם והאלתורים של יונה.En: When the curtain opened, the movement around the stage was lively, with the advantages of the text delivered as usual and Yonah's improvisations.He: הקהל לא פסק מלהריע כשהמחזה הסתיים.En: The audience did not stop cheering as the play ended.He: צווי למדו שלפעמים, להנהיג אומר לדעת מתי להקשיב.En: Tzvi learned that sometimes, to lead means knowing when to listen.He: הוא הבין את החשיבות של להיות חלק מקבוצה ולא רק נשיא בודד על הבמה.En: He understood the importance of being part of a group, not just a solitary president on the stage.He: הוא הביט סביב, עיניו נתקלו בעיניה של שירה, והיא הביטה בו עם חיוך גאה.En: He looked around, and his eyes met Shira's, who looked at him with a proud smile.He: העולם נראה פתאום כיותר מזמין ומלא אפשרויות.En: The world suddenly seemed more inviting and full of possibilities.He: פסח בבית הספר היה הצלחה גדולה, אבן גבול בתהליך הלמידה של צווי.En: Passover at the school was a great success, a milestone in Tzvi's learning process.

The Alutiiq Museum in Kodiak, Alaska is telling the story of 11 children taken from the area and shipped off to the Carlisle Indian Boarding School more than a century ago. The museum was instrumental in securing the return of one of those children who was buried on school grounds. It is part of an ongoing effort by the museum to document and repatriate Alaska Native ancestors under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. We'll hear about their work. GUESTS Dehrich Chya (Alutiiq, Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak), director of language and living culture at the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository Benjamin Jacuk (Dena'ina Athabascan and Sugpiaq), director of Indigenous research at the Alaska Native Heritage Center Nyché Andrew (Yup’ik/Iñupiaq) Break 1 Music: They Sing to Each Other (song) Pamyua (artist) Side A Side B (album) Break 2 Music: Further From the Country (song) William Prince (artist) Further From the Country (album)

Josette Pelatan's story is a study in grit, faith, and the long road back from trauma. Born into addiction, adopted across an ocean, and later navigating life in the U.S. alone at sixteen, she carried years of anger, complex PTSD, and misdiagnosed illness while pushing herself through school, advanced degrees, and relentless adversity. In this conversation, Josette opens up about surviving a drug‑facilitated rape, years of neurological symptoms dismissed as "mental health," and the eventual diagnosis of relapsing MOGAD that reframed her entire medical history. She also shares the 2022 moment she calls divine intervention—a turning point that sparked her healing, her creative work, and her commitment to rebuilding her life while homeless. We talk about what real support looks like, why resilience is never just willpower, and how purpose‑driven routines—breathwork, meditation, visualization, gratitude—became her daily anchors.

They  unpack what makes Ian Munsick's new spot different from every other country singer's bar in Nashville, why agriculture is suddenly everywhere in pop culture, and plans for a new boarding school designed to train boys in farming and energy. What We Discovered This Week

A 300-page report details the history and ongoing implications of Michigan's role in the Indian Boarding School era. It includes dozens of interviews, public records, and a list of recommendations for state officials going forward. It details troubling accounts that have become familiar in the discussion about boarding schools — physical and sexual abuse of Native American students, oppressive methods to enforce assimilation, and limited accountability for anyone involved. But the state's Department of Civil Rights is backing away from the report. After investing almost $1 million, the state is declining to release the final document to the public. It has since been posted online by the news site Bridge Michigan. We'll talk to those involved about what is in the report and what it means that the state is not backing it. Sen.

(Gabriel Pietrorazio / KJZZ) The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs has invited tribal leaders to testify on Capitol Hill today. As KJZZ’s Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, the Northeast Arizona Indian Water Rights Settlement Act is the hearing's subject. This $5 billion deal would resolve claims for three parties, including the Navajo Nation and Hopi Tribe. For San Juan Southern Paiute President Carlene Yellowhair, this proposal is not just about securing precious water in the Southwest. If passed, it would also set aside 5,400 acres for a new reservation in Arizona. “We want to settle, because we want our land, our home, a place to build. We lost all of our elders. They started it and we just want to finish it.” The tribe has more than 300 members, including Vice President Johnny Lehi Jr. “You know, the land and the water, that's what we needed to become more sovereign.” Prisoner Mark Andrews is housed at Spring Creek Correctional Center in Seward, Alaska. (Photo: Anne Hillman / Alaska Public Media) The Alaska Supreme Court heard arguments this month on whether prisoners can be forcibly medicated with psychiatric drugs — without a court hearing and the right to a lawyer. In the state corrections system, Alaska Native people are incarcerated at about twice the rate of white Alaskans. Alaska Public Media's Rachel Cassandra has more. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) brought the case against the Department of Corrections (DOC) on behalf of a prisoner, Mark Andrews. He says he has been unjustly drugged with powerful psychotropic medication for most of the last seven years, without due process or access to legal counsel. The Department policy currently allows prisoners to be drugged against their will if they are gravely disabled or are in imminent risk for harming themselves or others. Doron Levine is a lawyer for the ACLU. He argued at the hearing that the policy infringes on rights protected by the state constitution. “Few things are more personal than someone’s body, and arguably, nothing is more personal than a person’s mind. It’s the locus of a person’s identity, and it’s a last refuge of freedom for people who are incarcerated.” Under department policy, prisoners have the right to hearings every six months with department staff. And they have the right to appeal the decision to a department committee. The ACLU argues that Andrews did not have sufficient access to hearings or an appeal. Justice Jennifer Henderson questioned Kimber Rogers, the attorney representing DOC. Justice Henderson says the facts seem to suggest that the prisoner was denied the rights promised in the department's policy. Justice Henderson: How do you respond to that? Kimber Rogers: Your Honor, I agree that there were definitely some problems, and Mr. Andrews’ hearings, but I don’t think that that’s important. JH: There were more than some problems. There were long periods of time where there were no hearings, for example. KR: Well, Your Honor, I would dispute that actually. The ACLU lawyer argued that there should be a hearing in a courtroom because DOC staff may be biased to protect the institution over the person, but Rogers says a hearing inside prison is the best approach. When the Supreme Court issues a ruling, the decision could apply to the approximately 22 Alaska prisoners who are being forcibly drugged. U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD) The National American Indian Housing Council (NAIHC) is applauding the House passage of the Tribal Trust Land Homeownership Act. The bill to improve access to homeownership for Native families on tribal trust land is led by U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD) and passed last week. NAIHC executive director Rudy Soto says the bill improves coordination between the Bureau of Indian Affairs, lenders, and tribal communities, establishes timelines, and helps Native families, veterans, and tribal citizens who want to achieve homeownership. The Senate previously approved the measure and it now heads to the president's desk. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

In 1879, Richard Henry Pratt founded the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, the first federally supported off-reservation boarding school for Native American children. Designed to promote assimilation into American society, Carlisle became the model for the broader system of Native American boarding schools that spread across the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In this episode, I explore how Carlisle operated, the federal policies that shaped it, and the lasting impact of the Indian boarding school system on Indigenous communities.Support the show

Some stories don't fit neatly into a redemption arc. Melvin Cole's is one of them.On the latest episode of Drive By with Sam Coates, Cole, founder of PURE Academy in Memphis, shares a raw, unpolished account of growing up in extreme poverty, entering the drug trade at age 11, surviving gun violence and ultimately choosing a radically different path. Raised by a heroin-addicted grandmother in South Memphis, Cole lost his sister as a toddler due to a medical misdiagnosis, experienced childhood sexual abuse and became a father at just 14. Survival wasn't a philosophy: it was daily reality.Football once offered a way out. Cole earned a college scholarship and had NFL aspirations, until a drug deal gone wrong left him shot in the head and back. What followed was prison, where witnessing a brutal assault became a spiritual breaking point. In a moment of desperation, Cole made a promise: if he survived, he would dedicate his life to saving young men headed down the same road.When he was released after serving time for cocaine trafficking, Cole dug up more than $500,000 he had buried during his time dealing drugs, money he once saw as a retirement plan. Instead of returning to the streets, he used it to build PURE Academy, a year-round boarding school for at-risk Black boys in Memphis that focuses on discipline, structure, emotional intelligence, agriculture, academics and faith.Today, PURE Academy serves 61 students on full scholarship, operates on a $3.7 million budget and boasts an 83% college matriculation rate. Cole is candid about the challenges that remain — the temptation of his former life, frustrations with nonprofit systems and the emotional toll of leadership. But his mission is clear: remove boys from environments that trap them in cycles of poverty and give them the tools to build something better.This episode isn't polished inspiration. It's an honest conversation about trauma, responsibility, faith and what it actually takes to change outcomes: not just for individuals, but for communities.Episode Highlights“I Started Selling Drugs at 11 — Not to Rebel, But to Survive”Cole explains how poverty and fatherhood at 14 pushed him into the drug trade as a calculated business decision, not teenage rebellion.The Moment Prison Changed EverythingWitnessing a violent assault behind bars led to a desperate prayer and a life-altering promise that would shape PURE Academy's mission.Burying $500K — Then Digging It Up for a SchoolThe drug money Cole once viewed as his future became the seed funding for a boarding school instead of a return to crime.Inside PURE Academy's Daily DisciplineFrom 6 a.m. workouts and meditation to academics and agriculture, Cole breaks down how structure, not charity, changes lives.“You Feed One of Two Wolves”Cole speaks openly about the ongoing internal battle between his past and present, including why success doesn't erase temptation — but purpose keeps him grounded.
