How can schools ensure every student benefits from collective expertise without overwhelming teachers with endless meetings? In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper talks with Kurtis Hewson, co author of Collaborative Response and co founder of Jigsaw Learning, about a school wide model that replaces fragmented teams with purposeful, layered collaborative structures centered on data, evidence, and a clear continuum of supports.​Kurtis explains how to shift from “tiering students” to “tiering supports,” where Tier 1 defines non negotiable universal practices, Tier 2 offers classroom based options, and higher tiers coordinate beyond classroom resources without labeling kids. He breaks down the game changing collaborative team meeting format that reduces overall meetings by adding one intentional space where teachers share celebrations, generate solutions for common issues, and build capacity across the building.About Kurtis Hewson Kurtis Hewson is a highly sought-after keynote speaker, author and professional learning facilitator. In addition to being an award-winning teacher, vice-principal, and principal, he has also served as faculty at the post-secondary level.

In this episode, I sit down with Kurtis Lee Thomas, founder of Breathwork Detox, to talk about what a lot of people feel but rarely know how to name: the gap between understanding "money is energy" and still looking at your bank account like, what is happening. Kurtis brings a grounded, embodied perspective to wealth. We explore how money is tied to the nervous system, how the body can hold past stress and unprocessed emotion, and why "trying harder" often fails when the real issue is internal congestion. This conversation is a bridge between the energetic and the practical, with breath as the access point.   What we cover Money and nervous system capacity "Issues in the tissues" and stored emotional weight Why manifesting isn't the problem, and what blocks receiving Breathwork as an energetic reset and clarity tool Resistance, routine, and keeping practices sustainable Key moments 00:00 Meeting Kurtis and why I wanted this conversation 01:15 The money contradiction: feeling aligned, then checking the bank account 02:36 Nervous system capacity and "issues in the tissues" 04:23 Let go before you let in 06:11 How breathwork clears energetic pathways 08:32 Flow state and why breathwork can create rapid clarity 12:19 Why resistance is part of the medicine 16:47 Kurtis's daily stack and how he builds discipline 24:53 Routine only works if it's sustainable 31:29 Why breathwork is accessible and universally effective 32:13 How to work with Kurtis and where to find him Connect with Kurtis at breathworkdetox.com

⚠️ Urbex mondial : interview d'un explorateur français des lieux interdits Depuis plus de 15 ans, MonsieurKurtis parcourt le monde à la recherche de lieux abandonnés, interdits et inaccessibles. Explorateur urbain et photographe reconnu, il a réalisé un véritable tour du monde de l'urbex, entre bunkers, tunnels, usines désaffectées, toits d'immeubles, ponts, sous-sols et sites oubliés du patrimoine industriel, historique et naturel. Dans cette interview exclusive, on plonge dans l'urbex à travers le regard d'un explorateur français qui documente des lieux normalement fermés au public. Son travail photographique, récompensé par deux ND Awards, est complètement dingue et se distingue par une esthétique immersive où il se met en scène sans jamais montrer son visage. L'atmosphère de ses photos se trouve entre jeu vidéo, science-fiction, dystopie et surréalisme. Florent Mounier revient sur le parcours de Monsieur Kurtis, ses voyages, les dangers de l'urbex, l'accès à des lieux difficiles voire interdits, et la dimension artistique de ses photos, exposées et publiées dans des livres à travers le monde.

Want your team to run smoother and your stress to drop? We sat down with Cardinal Legacy Towing Group's CEO, Kurtis Barks, to unpack a simple idea with outsized impact: put the right people in the right roles and teach leaders how to lead. From towing and recovery to body shops and insurance, the same patterns show up—great operators get promoted, then drown in management chaos. Kurtis walks us through the Trailblazer Leadership Retreat, a two-day, small-group experience built for owners and managers who need real tools, not vague motivation. Think role scorecards, decision frameworks, candid coaching, and a peer network that lasts.We dig into the Culture Index and how a 10-minute survey can cut turnover, stabilize hiring, and reveal strengths you can actually use. You'll hear how a struggling salesperson became a standout finance pro once his natural wiring had a place to shine. The results aren't theoretical: better safety, fewer miscasts, faster onboarding, clearer meetings, and more resilient margins. We also talk about training that respects time—concise classrooms, more instructors, and a calendar of schools rolling out nationwide. If you've ever felt stuck working in the business instead of on it, this is your map out.Beyond operations, we spotlight service and legacy. Kurtis shares the story of Guns and Hoses and BackStoppers in the St. Louis region, supporting families of fallen first responders with real, lasting help. That spirit is baked into the retreat's design: small, practical, and people-first. Seats are limited to 30 for deep work and stronger connections, with priority access for attendees to bring their teams later in the year. Ready to swap firefighting for leadership that scales?

In this unique episode, we flip the script. Kurtis Anderton, former top closer at BAD Marketing and founder of Agency Closers, turns the tables and interviews Eddie Maalouf instead of the usual format. Kurtis asks the questions nobody else would dare to ask, diving deep into Eddie's decision to buy Scoville Hot Chicken (and why he'd go all-in on chicken over Bad Marketing if forced to choose), his unconventional approach to family-business integration, the real story behind his brother's kidnapping in Haiti, and how he makes 50+ critical business decisions while casually sitting on beanbags. You'll discover Eddie's philosophy on speed over perfection (making 100 decisions with 20% wrong beats making 3 perfect ones), his "poker face" advantage in crisis situations, why he negotiates every deal like his life depends on it, and his brutally honest take on parenting kids who are growing up with generational wealth. This isn't your typical business podcast, it's an unfiltered look inside the mind of someone operating multiple eight-figure businesses simultaneously, all while refusing to let any deal happen on terms that aren't his.

What if the most powerful tool for emotional healing, trauma release, and spiritual awakening has been inside you since birth? This week on The Skeptic Metaphysicians, we sit down with Kurtis Lee Thomas, global corporate mindfulness trainer, founder of Breathwork Detox, #1 bestselling author, and the man NASA, Nike, and The Today Show call when their people are breaking down. Kurtis doesn't preach modern spirituality fluff. He delivers physiological, neurological, and emotional transformation through a deceptively simple modality: breathing. But not the casual inhale-exhale you do every day… We're talking about a deep diaphragmatic technique capable of:Releasing stored trauma and emotional blockagesTriggering profound energy healingOpening intuitive channelsRewiring the nervous systemSupporting spiritual growth and consciousness expansionCreating the clarity needed to step into your soul purposeIf that sounds impossible, wait until you hear the stories:✔ A five-year chronic illness completely resolved in one session✔ Instant clarity and breakthroughs in people who've felt stuck for decades✔ Engineers, veterans, and skeptics experiencing Kundalini-like activations✔ A mind-bending account of spontaneous physical healing that you'll need to hear to believe Breathwork Detox isn't just breathwork, it's a full-body energetic purge designed to clear the emotional “weight” you've been carrying your entire life. Whether you're navigating your own awakening, seeking deeper consciousness, exploring intuition development, or simply trying to stop your stress from running your life, this conversation will reset your understanding of what healing can look like.IN THIS EPISODE: • Why most people breathe incorrectly, and how it blocks emotional & energetic flow • How unprocessed experiences lodge in the body and manifest as anxiety, illness, and stuckness • The exact 3-part breathing sequence used in Breathwork Detox • The science behind clarity, flow state, and shutting down the overactive mind • How breathwork triggers profound spiritual awakening experiences, even in total skeptics • Why clarity (not bliss) is the real engine of manifestation • The four types of people who benefit the MOST from this practice • Why energy healing works even for people who don't “believe” in it • How breathwork can support emotional transitions, hormonal shifts, and the stress of modern lifeWHY THIS EPISODE MATTERS If you feel overwhelmed… foggy… disconnected… stuck in old patterns… or blocked from the spiritual growth you know is possible, then you're likely carrying far more emotional residue than you realize. You don't need a guru. You don't need a plant medicine ceremony. You don't need a near-death experience to wake up. You need to clear what's standing between you and the truth already inside you. And this modality gives you the key.ABOUT OUR GUEST — KURTIS LEE THOMASFounder of Breathwork DetoxCorporate mindfulness trainer for Nike, NASA, and Fortune 500 companies#1 international bestselling authorBoard Chair of the Just Breathe FoundationGlobal teacher helping thousands detox emotional blockages, trauma, and mental overwhelmCONNECT WITH KURTIS Website: BreathworkDetox.comFree masterclass, virtual sessions, facilitator training & more inside.Subscribe, Rate & Review!
