Ethan is joined by author, teacher and writing coach Lisa Weinert.  They discuss the power of storytelling as both a spiritual and psychological method for healing. They also talk about why the act of writing is so excruciating, as well as the relationship between storytelling and embodiment.

She has taught and lectured on the power of storytelling at institutions such as Wesleyan University, Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, and Fortune 500 media companies. Beginning her career in book publishing, Weinert eventually became a certified yoga instructor with a specialty in trauma-informed and restorative yoga, leading her to combine her professional training with her own experience with trauma to create Narrative Healing, a writing program that seeks to release our stories in a way that is accessible and empowering.

Hunter's Story: From a young age I knew that opportunity was abundant & I was able to control my income if I had the work ethic. At 6 I was catching lizards & trying to sell them on a dead end road. When I was 8 I started digging through old dumps in the mountains of SC to take antiques to the Flea Market. Through Middle School I hustled candy from my book bag.   Then life got a bit more tough, for me. Before diving in I want to be clear that life's all about perspective. My "tough" may be your "easy" or another man's "devastation." By no means am I complaining. I'm thankful for my trials as it's made me the man I am today. I truly believe life happens FOR you & not TO you. At the end of middle school my family life took a turn from unhealthy household but all living together to everyone going separate ways. My parents were both unemployed and turned to a life that didn't involve us. I went to one grandparents' house & my two younger brothers went to another. From here, I was a decent but stubborn teen who was ready to finish school & create a life for myself.  TRHS Class of 2009: 189 out of 212 Yep, #189. I finished ahead of only 23 kids in my class.  I graduated thanks to the grace of my 12th Grade English teach, Mrs. Looper. All I cared about was graduating & joining the Marine Corp.   I did. September 11th, 2009 rolled around & I graduated from Parris Island as a United States Marine 8 years to the day that made me decide to join the Marine Corps, 9/11/01. I then moved further into public service where I spend 5 years as a Full Time Firefighter & EMT.   As most of you know life as a public servant doesn't come with much income. At just over 30k in salary I spend my days off working on side businesses where I made more than my full time job.   This quickly turned into a passion. I realized that money is not just some material thing I can put in the bank account. It's a tool I can use to serve others. In December 2015 I made my jump from the "safety" of my full time job at the Fire Department & went full time as an entrepreneur. My Chief said, "Are you sure you know what you are doing?" Another friends said, "You'll be back at a regular job within a year." As if I needed any extra motivation. I dove deep into brand, marketing, relationships & leadership from the start. Within a couple years I had multiple businesses creating over 5 Million in revenue annually. Beyond this & what I'm most proud of. I was able to build one of the best teams around & help dozens of other entrepreneurs build their dream life.   I've helped people go from zero to their first 10k month & I've been there to help established companies add millions in revenue in less than 12 months.  When I left the Fire Department I questioned if I would be as fulfilled as I was when I was helping a patient on a wreck. I can confirm. Helping entrepreneurs reach their goals fills my heart just as much or more. I'm here to help. Always. Just reach out.  Episode Highlights: Hunter and Travis discuss Hunter's time as a Marine and Firefighter. Learn the reason that Hunter left the security of his job as a firefighter. Discover the importance of surrounding yourself with good people. 3 Key Points: Stretch your mind, push your body, and grow your legacy. Don’t let fear of failure prevent you from taking action. You’re not going to find great success without sacrifice. Tweetable Quotes: "As you continue to level up in business and life, you’re going to outgrow a lot of your friends." "You could provide your course to somebody, but if they aren’t willing to work then it doesn’t matter."...

In fall 2019, Casady School 10th grader Andrew created a wonderfully complex and innovative game as his culminating project for his study of the Old English Poem Beowulf. In this 27 minute interview, Andrew describes his game and how it connected to the themes as well as historical, cultural context of Beowulf. 10th grade English teacher, Dr. Bonnie Gerard, explains project expectations and how Andrew found a very creative way to blend his understanding of game theory, mathematics and probability, with the themes of both Beowulf as well as "honor" in Scandinavian culture to demonstrate his mastery of the unit's goals and objectives. Listen to Andrew and Dr. Gerard's description of this fantastic project and the backstory of how it was created!

Profound Gentlemen is having a profound impact on boys of color through social-emotional learning. How do you raise a successful boy of color, in an age of Trayvon Martin and Philando Castile? Boys of Color are four times more likely to receive out of school suspensions as their peers. They are rarely exposed to men of color in the classroom, despite data that shows that having men of color as role models greatly improves the social, emotional, and academic progress of all students, but especially boys of color. More than a quarter of men of color will leave the education profession after their first year. In 2013, Mario Jovan Shaw was a 7th Grade English language arts teacher. He started a group called The Brotherhood which consisted of 12 – 15 boys of color. Some of the boys were struggling with repeated disciplinary problems while others were performing well in school. They met each Wednesday to talk about how to navigate through life as boys and men of color. This was around the time that George Zimmerman was on trial for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. The students told him, “Mr. Shaw, you are our first educator of color.” This had a profound effect on Mario Jovan. He wrote a letter to the Charlotte Observer, laying out the case for the need for more male educators of color. His letter arrived around the 60th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. So the Charlotte Observer featured his letter. This caught the attention of Jason Terrell who was also doing work in the same area. By July 2015, they launched Profound Gentlemen. Profound Gentlemen is creating a cradle-to-career pipeline for boys of color. They work with educators of color to increase the social-emotional learning for boys of color. Their goal is to retain 90% of the Gentlemen in the field of education. The expect 90% of boys of color in their Gentlemen’s mentoring groups will graduate from high school. And 90% of boys of color in the Gentlemen’s mentoring groups will be exposed to diverse career opportunities. They work with boys of color in student groups and in after-school programs. They help boys of color who live in poverty to overcome the barriers in their lives. Profound Gentlemen gives them a chance to experience opportunities that they might not otherwise be exposed to. Social Entrepreneurship Quotes from Mario Jovan Shaw “Over 80% of our guys who are Profound Gentlemen, were not education majors.” “We not only want to have a great football player, but we want him to understand how he contributes back to society.” “You have to recognize the reality, but you also have to be optimistic.” “In order for us to win, we have to show gratitude.” “The biggest thing I’ve learned on my journey is continuously evolving yourself and your organization.” “Your mission and vision in the first year, is always evolving.” “Jason and I had to become very, very vulnerable.” “My way is not the only way.” “My biggest advice is, continue to allow yourself to grow.” “Whenever we get into a dark place, we know we’re about to experience major growth.” Social Entrepreneurship Resources: Profound Gentlemen: http://profoundgentlemen.org Profound Gentlemen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/profoundgentlemen Profound Gentlemen on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profoundgentlemen Profound Gentlemen on Twitter: https://twitter.com/PGeducator
