In this episode of the Green Side Up Podcast, Jason and Jordan sit down in person with Danny Gutcher of KASE Wealth Advisors for a deep dive into money, retirement, and long‑term planning—through the relatable lens of Danny's baseball journey. Danny shares his path from Tampa high school standout to Division II national champion catcher at the University of Tampa, then explains how he transitioned from molecular biology and CTE research ambitions into a career as a fiduciary financial advisor. The conversation breaks down, in plain language, topics like fee-based vs. commission-based advising, what a fiduciary really is, Roth vs. traditional IRAs, 401(k)s vs. SIMPLE IRAs, company matches, vesting, HSAs, and tax diversification. Jason and Jordan press Danny on how small businesses like landscape and tree service companies can set up retirement plans, use matches as a retention tool, and structure contributions so both owners and employees win. It's a practical, story-driven guide for young professionals, blue‑collar employees, and business owners who want to stop guessing about retirement and start building a real plan.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers a mix of strong domestic economic news and mounting national security concerns as the country heads into the weekend. He begins with good news at home, as murder rates fall to their lowest level on record, American-born truckers see rising wages after foreign drivers are removed from U.S. highways, and major manufacturers like GM shift production back from China and Mexico to the United States. Economic growth is revised higher, signaling momentum heading into 2026. The mood then turns more serious with warnings about TikTok's unresolved ties to Chinese control, the failure to revive the China Initiative to counter espionage, and growing concern over Chinese ownership of American food brands and farmland. Bryan also covers escalating clashes in Minnesota as Democrats continue to resist ICE enforcement, a judge blocks charges against Don Lemon for his role in an attack on a Christian church, and the White House signals a major shift by authorizing ICE to use administrative warrants to enter homes of illegal aliens. Globally, the episode tracks Trump's push toward regime change in Cuba, the possible withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria amid ISIS prison breaks, the launch of Trump's new Board of Peace that could sideline the United Nations, and promising medical research showing red light therapy may prevent or reduce traumatic brain injury and CTE.

Send us your desired health topic or guest suggestionsWilliam Person, a former Team USA bobsledder, opens up about the years he lost to brain fog, panic, migraines, and crushing depression—only to trace it back to the relentless G-forces and micro-impacts to the brain that are baked into his sport. We follow William's turning point as he connects his symptoms to the same patterns seen in veterans exposed to blasts, survivors of domestic violence, and crash victims. The label many of them eventually wear—CTE—can only be confirmed after death, which leaves families guessing while symptoms escalate. The breakthrough arrives in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. One hour under pressure lifts a decade of fog for William. He explains why HBOT helps post-concussion syndrome: oxygen-rich plasma reaches injured tissue, inflammation eases, and the brain gets a chance to recalibrate. We also discuss the expense of sessions, and how the people who need help most are often priced out. Along the way, he shares the stories of teammates and veterans lost to suicide, the gaps in our systems, and the small signs families can watch for that point to a brain in distress.William's passion has been creating the American Post-Concussion Wellness Center, a nonprofit dedicated to offering free HBOT care for Vets and professional athletes, and educating athletes stepping into high-risk sports. If you or someone you love is navigating post-concussion symptoms, this conversation offers a map: what to try now, and where to find help today.

William Person is a former nine-year Team USA Bobsled athlete whose career left him battling the devastating effects of CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). At his lowest point, he could barely get up off the floor, lost in confusion, depression, intense headaches, and a deteriorating brain. Hope came when he discovered Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, which restored clarity in his thinking, color to his vision, and purpose to his life. William shares his story to raise awareness of brain damage in sports, the military, and other lifetime collisions and share the importance of protecting and healing the brain. His mission is to open a nonprofit CTE Recovery Center to help athletes, veterans, and civilians heal from brain injuries -- at no cost to them. To realize this mission, he's launched a GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/93ff9c6e, which will help him raise funds to purchase a medical grade hyperbaric oxygen chamber to open a CTE Recovery Center where anyone battling CTE and brain injury symptoms can get free treatment.

In this episode, Chuck Thuss welcomes former Team USA bobsledder William Person for a raw and deeply revealing conversation about life after elite sport, the hidden toll of repeated head trauma, and the unexpected therapy that helped pull him back from the brink. William spent nine seasons competing at the highest level, enduring extreme G-forces, repeated impacts, and the emotional strain that so many athletes carry in silence. When the symptoms of CTE began to take over his life, William found himself in a dark, isolated spiral — until one piece of information, and one unexpected influence, helped him turn everything around.

What happens when Career and Technical Education stops operating in silos and starts acting like a true regional partner? In this leadership conversation, Jason Lucia shares how he is redesigning CTE to expand access, strengthen district collaboration, and connect students directly to meaningful, high-wage career pathways. From innovative shared-campus programs to deep industry partnerships, this episode offers a bold vision for what CTE can become when leaders put kids first and challenge the status quo. Key Takeaways CTE as a Place for ReinventionJason describes CTE as a space where students can walk through a “magic door”—leaving behind labels, past academic struggles, or fixed expectations—and redefine who they are. CTE provides alternative pathways where hands-on learning, purpose, and relevance drive student success. Breaking Down District SilosRather than pulling students out of their home schools, Jason's team partners with districts to embed CTE programs directly inside existing buildings. Programs like Aspiring Educators allow students to remain in their schools while gaining CTE credit, aligning standards, and engaging in authentic project-based learning. Real Workforce Outcomes for StudentsStudents in Central Westmoreland's programs are graduating with job offers, paid internships, and industry credentials. Examples include lineman students earning $65,000–$70,000 starting salaries and welders transitioning into paid internships with full benefits before graduation. These outcomes redefine what postsecondary readiness looks like. Industry Partnerships Built on TrustJason explains how industry partners gain access to students by actively participating in the learning process. Through a structured VIP partnership model, businesses engage early, build relationships with students, and experience the program firsthand—creating a true two-way partnership rather than a transactional pipeline. Leadership That Starts with StoriesChange doesn't start with policy—it starts with people. Jason emphasizes the importance of collecting and sharing student success stories to build buy-in with superintendents, boards, and community partners. One strong story can open the door to collaboration that scales across an entire region. Leadership Reflection Where are CTE opportunities siloed in your system—and what would it take to open access? How might partnerships with districts and industry expand opportunities without adding new buildings or programs? What student success stories are you ready to tell to move the conversation forward? Action Step Start building a portfolio of student success stories—academic, personal, and career-based. Use those stories to initiate conversations with district leaders, community partners, and industry about what's possible when you design CTE around students instead of systems.

Have any interesting stories to tell us? Lets us know here!Last we left off, Benoit rose to international fame in the wrestling world, met his wife and victim Nancy, had a son named Daniel, and concluded with the untimely death of his best friend, Eddie Guerrero. From this point on Benoit would be visibly different to everyone. His violent tendencies outside the ring had already started happening more frequently. Combine that with Guerrero being gone, and Benoit was truly broken. Just us as we dive into Benoits brain, CTE, and the ridiculous conspiracies surrounding his death!Warning - this episode deals with some pretty heavy topics, including abuse, sexual and otherwise, and horrific violence. With that being said, jokes are being made about the killer and the industry, not the victims. If there's one thing Benoit earned through his actions, its public ridicule. So with that said, enjoy the show!If you enjoyed the show, please follow us on whatever podcast app you are using. If you'd like to take it further, a like and review helps as well. It means a ton.

What if the real disruption in education isn't a new program… but how we use time, teachers, and tech?In this Disrupt Education recap episode, Alli Dahl and Peter Hostrawser unpack the big ideas from their conversation with Kristy Volesky and Jeff Frost, authors of CTE Reimagined: The Blueprint for Education's Future—and then push them even further.In this episode, Alli and Peter dive into:Why traditional school structures are brokenRethinking 18-week semesters, quarters, and “one pace for everyone” – and what happens when a student finishes meaningful work in 3 weeks instead of 18.AI vs. controlling classroomsHow AI will expose and replace lecture-heavy, compliance-driven teaching – and why the teachers who refuse to loosen control will struggle the most.CTE as the vehicle for reimagining ALL of educationFrom “pipelines” that produce workers to pathways with on- and off-ramps that let students pivot, explore, and design nonlinear careers.Teachers as the untapped superpowerWhy real change won't just come from superintendents or state leaders—and how using tools like YouScience aptitudes for educators could help reassign roles, break silos, and build truly student-centered teams.Experiences are greater than lecturesPeter and Alli share stories from real classrooms, internships, and college projects that students actually remember—and how that connects directly to the CTE Reimagined vision.A challenge for 2026 and beyondLetting go of ego, fear, and tradition. Embracing messy, human, high-impact learning. And using this “off-season” (even winter break) to level up how we serve students.If you're a CTE leader, classroom teacher, counselor, admin, or just someone who knows school has to evolve, this recap will give you fuel, language, and a healthy dose of “let's go” energy.Head to www.disrupteducationpodcast.com for more!
How Mega Minds Brings Real-World CTE to Classrooms ft. Eric Tao & Austin Levinson | My EdTech Life 349In Episode 349 of My EdTech Life, Dr. Alfonso “Fonz” Mendoza sits down with Eric Tao, Founder & CEO of Mega Minds, and Austin Levinson, veteran educator and learning designer, to unpack how immersive AI-powered simulations are reshaping Career and Technical Education (CTE).This conversation goes beyond AI hype. Eric and Austin explain why most AI tools in education focus on productivity instead of learning and how immersive environments can restore student engagement, agency, and real-world skill development.We explore how Mega Minds uses AI characters, simulations, and 3D environments to help students practice CTE skills safely before entering real workplaces. From healthcare triage simulations to job interviews, retail scenarios, and construction environments, students are learning through experience, not worksheets.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Guest Introductions02:30 Exploring MegaMinds: An Overview04:49 The Role of Engagement in Education07:03 The Future of EdTech and AI in Learning10:39 Data-Driven Insights for Teachers13:45 The Importance of Student Agency18:10 Creating Safe Spaces for Learning20:38 Real-World Applications of MegaMinds27:46 CTE Lessons and Immersive Experiences33:05 Experiential Learning in Healthcare Education38:32 The Role of AI in Education42:39 Understanding AI Bias Through Immersive Learning48:38 AI Literacy and Its Importance in Education53:43 Final Thoughts and Future DirectionsMega Minds Resources Mentioned in EpisodeMegaMinds WebsiteFree AI Literacy Pilot InfoSponsors ShoutoutThank you to our sponsors: Book Creator, Eduaide.AI, and Peel Back Education for supporting My EdTech Life.Peel Back Education exists to uncover, share, and amplify powerful, authentic stories from inside classrooms and beyond, helping educators, learners, and the wider community connect meaningfully with the people and ideas shaping education today.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today's conversation is with Kim and Holly from CFT Global, the leaders carrying forward Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, a modality that blends craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and oral-structural work into one unified system.We explore why fascia is not just connective tissue, but an intelligent communication network that holds tension, trauma, and adaptation patterns. From infants struggling after birth, to adults with migraines, brain fog, concussions, and chronic stress, CFT works by restoring movement—movement of the cranial bones, movement of cerebrospinal fluid, and movement of the nervous system back toward safety.What struck me most is this: CFT doesn't force the body to heal. It listens. By following the body's innate wisdom, the nervous system shifts into parasympathetic regulation, allowing digestion, detoxification, emotional processing, and cognition to improve naturally. This episode is a deep dive into why healing is not about doing more, but about creating the conditions where the body can finally do what it already knows how to do.Episode Highlights[00:00] – Craniosynostosis, infant skulls, and why cranial plates must move for brain growth[02:16] – What Craniosacral Fascial Therapy actually is (and how it's different from CST)[04:11] – Cognitive clarity, emotional shifts, and whole-body effects of fascial release[06:34] – The origins of CFT: osteopathy, myofascial release, and oral structures[08:29] – Why head pressure persists even when labs “look normal”[10:12] – Tongue ties, airway dysfunction, and the overlooked craniodental system[13:29] – Weston Price, epigenetics, and how modern environments reshape facial structure[17:27] – Why releasing a tongue tie without bodywork can create new problems[23:10] – Are cranial bones really fused?

I review Tisha Richmond's new book, The Magical CTE Classroom. A book everyone should read in the next year. Doesn't matter if you are at CTE teacher, ELA, Math, SpEd. This book has something for everyone to really bring play, innovation and joy into career and technical education.
What if CTE stopped just filling jobs and started building future leaders and communities?In this episode of the Disrupt Education Podcast, hosts Alli Dahl and Peter Hostrawser sit down with Kristy Volesky and Jeff Frost to dig into their new book, CTE Reimagined: The Blueprint for Education's Future. This isn't another “how to run a program” manual—it's a salty, honest challenge to the status quo of compliance, checkboxes, and shiny new buildings that don't change student outcomes.Kristy and Jeff unpack why traditional “workforce development” thinking is not enough, and why CTE must shift toward economic development and leadership development. They talk about:-The danger of designing CTE only for today's vacancies instead of tomorrow's non-linear careers-Why “pipelines” trap students, and how on-ramps and off-ramps create agility and real options-How ego, fear, and tradition keep districts stuck in pretend “hands-on” learning instead of real-world impact-The 40 disruptors featured in the book who are already reimagining programs across the country-How schools can start rebuilding CTE with what they already have—without waiting for a new building or a new mandateIf you're in CTE, K–12, higher ed, workforce, economic development, or a community that cares about its future, this conversation will push you to rethink what “career-ready” really means.
2025 was nothing short of extraordinary for Henrico's CTE! From record-breaking student achievements to powerful new industry partnerships, the growth has been relentless. As we gear up for an even bigger 2026, join us for a look back at the most game-changing conversations that defined our year. Hit play and get inspired!
Career and Technical Education is often overlooked, misunderstood, or siloed.

Recent research from the Journal of the American Medical Association serves to remind us of our need to be diligent in protecting our kids from experiencing trauma to their brains while playing sports. Using new imaging techniques, researchers at Columbia University have discovered that the area of the brain behind the forehead – known as the cerebral cortex – suffers the most damage from repeatedly heading a soccer ball. The practical result of this damage is a decline in cognitive function. In the past, you've heard us talk about the growing body of research regarding CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a condition leading to cognitive decline. If you want to learn more about CTE we suggest you check out the website of the concussion legacy foundation. Parents, we are called to steward the physical, mental, and spiritual health of our kids. Are you taking steps to insure that they won't engage in activities that put the gift of their God-given brains at risk? If not, take steps now.
Send us a textThis episode traces the guest's life from discovering track at age six through elite collegiate athletics, Olympic trials, and bobsledding, where repeated head trauma quietly set the stage for severe cognitive decline. Years later, he faced dementia-like symptoms, panic attacks, memory loss, and constant suicidal ideation before realizing he was suffering from CTE—a condition he couldn't recognize in himself despite a background in mental health. The conversation ultimately centers on survival, purpose, and hope, highlighting hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a turning point and his mission to help veterans, athletes, and families recognize and treat brain injuries before it's too late.
William Person is a retired Team USA Olympic bobsledder that competed in 9 seasons, from 1998 to 2007. Throughout his career, he obtained countless concussions and traumatic head injuries due to the nature of the sport. In his thirties, Person says he started to experience extremely concerning symptoms, such as severe brain fog, confusion and disorientation, memory problems, depression, light sound and smell sensitivities, and other "dementia-like" symptoms. In his efforts to learn more about what was happening, he came across a New York Times article describing his symptoms exactly, and connecting it to Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in athletes, but particularly bobsledders. From then on, William learned more about his condition and found Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) through Joe Namath, a former NFL player with the same condition. He says that this therapy was able to restore his ability to think clearly, to complete daily tasks, and gave restored a sense of purpose to his life. Now, William is on a mission to raise awareness of brain damage in sports, the military, and other lifetime collisions, and share the importance of protecting and healing the brain. He's currently working on opening a nonprofit CTE Recovery Center to help athletes, veterans, and civilians heal from brain injuries for free. Every donation to William's GoFundMe goes directly to supporting free treatment therapy for affected individuals whose insurance doesn't cover it. Today, William joins our host, Dr. Karp, and student producer, Kaya Basatemur, in a deep conversation about CTE; Why do people get CTE? How does it affect their lives? How can this lifelong detrimental condition be treated?

Tiger Talk Podcast by Northeast Mississippi Community College
TigerTalk turns its attention to adult education in Mississippi as Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery meets with Northeast president Dr. Ricky G. Ford for an in-depth look at one of the state's strongest programs. Calvery leads the conversation as Ford highlights how Northeast's award-winning approach serves as a model for colleges across the Magnolia State. Their discussion explains how adult education supports individuals who did not complete high school and often faced setbacks that kept them from earning a credential. Ford outlines why adult education plays a key role in strengthening Mississippi's workforce. Programs focus on literacy and practical work skills that can help drive economic growth, though he notes the need for sustainable funding to meet the scale of demand. Current estimates show 301,301 Mississippians lack a high school diploma, and statewide programs helped 8,465 people reach that milestone last year. Challenges remain significant. Many students enter reading at a third-grade level or below, and 97 percent fall under an eighth-grade learning level. Ford details how programs like Northeast's work to close those gaps and offer a pathway toward long-term success for learners and communities across the state. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

With artificial intelligence stepping off the laptop and out onto job sites, factory floors, and flight decks, are we preparing students for the AI that sees, senses, and acts in the real world, not just the kind that chats back?Matt Kirchner sits down with Lieutenant General Brian Cavanaugh, USMC (Ret.), CEO of VigilanteX. After decades commanding Marines and integrating emerging tech into national defense, Cavanaugh now leads a company building applied AI platforms at the edge: solar- and Starlink-powered trailers with cameras and compute that monitor sites 24/7 and turn video into real-time safety, security and efficiency intelligence.Together, Matt and Brian unpack what “applied AI” really means across the edge-to-cloud continuum. They discuss AI agents running on the edge, natural language search over video, and systems that close the loop from sensor to decision in seconds. They also explore why simply teaching students to prompt chatbots isn't enough, and how K-12, CTE, and higher education can catch up to a world where AI is baked into every system, every site, and every mission.Listen to learn:How VigilanteX combines solar power, Starlink, cameras, and edge compute into their tech.The difference between AI at the edge and AI in the cloud, and why latency, bandwidth, and resilience matter for safety-critical environments.How AI agents work at the edge, and why they can work faster and more efficiently than humans (freeing up humans to do more interesting work).Why Cavanaugh believes every student should understand how data moves from sensors to the edge, to the cloud, and back into real-time control.What China's national push for AI education signals about global competition and how U.S. educators should respond with applied AI in the classroom.➡️ Watch the Full Episode on YouTube3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. AI at the edge is becoming a digital teammate. VigilanteX's platforms use cameras, connectivity, and on-site compute to watch for fall risks, PPE issues, intrusions, and abnormal conditions across construction, manufacturing, logistics, and energy sites. The system flags events in real time, routes the right video to supervisors, and builds a data trail leaders can use to change procedures before accidents happen.2. Edge-to-cloud literacy is a new baseline skill for technical careers. Cavanaugh and Kirchner break down how raw sensor and video data is processed locally, filtered, and then pushed to the cloud for storage, analytics, and dashboards. Understanding where computation lives, what data moves, and how AI agents plug into that pipeline prepares students for roles in automation, OT/IT, robotics, and cyber-physical systems in any industry.3. We need to teach applied AI, not just chatbots. While large language models are powerful, the episode shows how AI is part of the edge-to-cloud continuum. Giving students hands-on experience with autonomous systems, computer vision, and industrial data flows helps them see AI as something they can design, deploy, and govern rather than a black box that only lives in a browser.Find links & more resources on the episode page!

On April 7, 2021, a man showed up to a property in Rock Hill, South Carolina and took the lives of six people. Robert and Barbara Lesslie had been taking care of their grandchildren, Noah and Adah, when former NFL player Phillip Adams shot them to death. He also killed two HVAC workers on the property, James Lewis and Robert Shook. Adams' actions have been attributed to the head trauma from his time playing football - and after his death, he was diagnosed with Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, commonly referred to as CTE, and it is believed this is what lead to his actions.

How can CTE listen to regional economic and workforce needs and build a vision so big that others can't help but support it?Watch this episode on YouTube Matt Kirchner sits down with Adam Snoddy, Principal of the Butler Tech Aviation Center, to explore how one district used its regional economic identity to design a world-class CTE program. Located between Cincinnati and Dayton—home to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Amazon's CVG air hub, a web of regional airports, and one of the densest aviation job markets in North America—Butler Tech built a high school aviation program directly aligned to its region's workforce DNA.Adam walks us through how the program launched in 2019 and quickly outgrew its original model. Today, Butler Tech is opening a 20,000 sq. ft. aviation high school and 8,500 sq. ft. hangar, backed by $15 million in district, county, JobsOhio, and city investment. Students begin with a full sophomore-year “Introduction to Aviation” exploration before choosing pathways in Flight, Maintenance, or Engineering, with engineering intentionally grounded in maintenance fundamentals to create stronger systems thinkers and safer future engineers.The real story? This aviation program is a template. Whether your region is built on advanced manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, energy, agriculture, or something entirely different, Butler Tech's approach offers a roadmap for building CTE around local industry, future workforce demand, and transferable technical skills.Listen to Learn:How regional economic DNA shaped Butler Tech's aviation program and why every CTE district should start hereWhat a $15 million aviation campus means for students, industry, and community partners Why Butler Tech begins 10th grade with a full exploration year before pathway selectionHow flight, maintenance, and engineering pathways work, and why engineering starts in the maintenance hangarWhat every CTE leader can take from this model, even if their region has nothing to do with aviation3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. CTE should be built around regional economic DNA. Southwest Ohio's aviation ecosystem—CVG, Wright-Patt, Joby, UPS, regional airports—creates unmatched demand for aviation talent. Butler Tech aligned its entire program to that reality, proving CTE is strongest when built around local industry needs and future workforce trends.2. An exploration-first model helps students make smarter pathway decisions. Every student begins with “Intro to Aviation,” experiencing flight, maintenance, and engineering pathways. This helps students discover interests—and eliminate misaligned ones—long before making postsecondary commitments.3. Hands-on systems training creates better technicians, engineers, and pilots. Butler Tech's engineering pathway starts with maintenance fundamentals because employers consistently stress that engineers must understand the systems they design. Students build real-world intuition early, leading to safer, more capable graduates in any technical field.Resources in this Episode:Learn more about Butler Tech's Aviation prograWe want to hear from you!
