Gerry Bryant is a brilliant classically-trained pianist, composer, and arranger. He came from a poor inner-city Cleveland neighbourhood, and was givin an opportunity to attend the prestigious Phillips Academy, then Harvard university. He went on to get an MBA and a law degree, all the while continuing the expansion of his knowledge of different styles of music, and forming his jazz group Pocketwatch. This episode partly focuses on his Composers album, with music of Florence Price and Thomas Wiggins who was known as Blind Tom to his slave masters. Gerry reflects on how access to a musical education changed his life, and how wonderful it has been to discover and champion Black composers. One of the musicians that Gerry has collaborated with many times is the wonderful and versatile violinist Mark Cargill, whose playing is also featured in this episode.   Like all my episodes, you can watch this on my YouTube channel or listen to the podcast, and I've also linked the transcript to my website: https://www.leahroseman.com/episodes/gerry-bryant Can you buy this podcaster a coffee to support this series? ⁠https://ko-fi.com/leahroseman⁠ Thanks!

Our guest today, the  Rev. Dr. Steve Pieters was raised in Andover, Massachusetts, where his father chaired the Mathematics Department at Phillips Academy.  In 1976, he joined Good Shepherd Parish Metropolitan Community Church in Chicago, where he decided to pursue a calling to the professional ministry. In 1982, Steve resigned his position in Hartford and moved to Los Angeles, where he began to experience a series of illnesses that were diagnosed as AIDS-Related Complex. In April, 1984, he was diagnosed with AIDS/Kaposi's Sarcoma and stage four lymphoma, and he was told by one health professional that he would not live to see 1985. Not only did he live to see 1985, but during that year he became "patient number 1" on the first anti-viral drug trial, taking suramin for a total of 39 weeks. While on suramin, both cancers went into complete remission. Due to toxic side effects, the drug was discontinued for use against AIDS. However, Rev. Pieters continues to enjoy a complete remission of his cancers. Since his diagnosis, Rev. Pieters has served on the Boards of Directors of AIDS Project Los Angeles, the AIDS Interfaith Council of Southern California, the AIDS National Interfaith Network (USA), and the first Los Angeles City/County AIDS Task Force, and was Field Director for the AIDS Ministry of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches from 1987 to 1997. Pieters was one of twelve invited guests at a Prayer Breakfast at the White House with U.S. President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, and National AIDS Policy Coordinator Kristine Gebbie prior to World AIDS Day 1993. The President talked about Rev. Pieters in his World AIDS Day speech on December 1, 1993. He was famously interviewed by Tammy Faye Bakker on her TV show, and that interview was recreated in the film The Eyes of Tammy Faye.

Humphrey Bogart was born to Belmont Bogart and Maud Humphrey on Christmas Day, 1899 in New York City. The eldest child, his father came from a long line of Dutch New Yorkers, while his mother could trace her heritage back to the Mayflower. Belmont was a surgeon, while Maud was a commercial illustrator and suffragette. Young Humphrey was sometimes the subject of her artwork—a detail that got him teased in school. Maud earned over fifty-thousand dollars per year at the peak of her career. They lived in an Upper West Side apartment, and had land on the Canandaigua Lake in upstate New York. Bogart and his two younger sisters watched as their parents — both career-driven — frequently fought and rarely showed affection to them. His mother insisted they call her Maud. Bogart remembered her as straightforward and unsentimental. Bogie inherited his father's sarcastic and self-deprecating sense of humor, a fondness for the water, and an attraction to strong-willed women. He attended the prestigious Trinity School and later Phillips Academy. He dropped out of Phillips after one semester in 1918, deeply disappointing his parents. Bogart enlisted in the Navy in the Spring of 1918, serving as a Boatswain's mate. He later recalled, "At eighteen, war was great stuff. Paris! Sexy French girls! Hot damn!" He left the service on June 18th, 1919 with a pristine record. Bogart returned home to find his father's health and wealth doing poorly. Bogart's liberal ways also put him at odds with his family, so he joined the Coast Guard Reserve and worked as a shipper and bond salesman. Unhappy with his choices, he got a job with William A. Brady's World Films. He was stage manager for daughter Alice Brady's production of A Ruined Lady. He made his stage debut a few months later as a butler in Alice's 1921 production of Drifting. He had one line, and remembered delivering it nervously, but it began a working relationship that saw Bogart appear in several of her productions. Bogart liked the hours actors kept and the attention they received. He was a man who loved the nightlife, enjoying trips to speakeasies. He later joked that he "was born to be indolent and this was the softest of rackets." The man never took an acting lesson, preferring to learn on the job. He appeared in at least eighteen Broadway productions between 1922 and 1935, playing juveniles or romantic supporting roles, more in comedy than anything else. While playing in Drifting at the Playhouse Theatre in 1922, he met actress Helen Menken. They married in May, 1926. They divorced eighteen months later, but remained friends. In April 1928, he married actress Mary Philips. Both women cited that Bogart cared more about his career than marriage. Broadway productions dropped off after the Wall Street Crash of 1929. Many actors were heading for Hollywood. Bogart debuted on film with Helen Hayes in The Dancing Town. He signed a contract with The Fox Film Corporation for seven-hundred-fifty dollars per-week. There he met Spencer Tracey. They became close friends. Tracy made his feature film debut in his only movie with Bogart, John Ford's early sound film Up The River, from 1930. They played inmates. Bogart next appeared opposite Bette Davis and Sidney Fox in Bad Sister. Shuffling back and forth between Hollywood and New York and out of work for long periods, his father died in 1934. That year, Bogart starred in the Broadway play Invitation to a Murder. During rehearsal producer Arthur Hopkins heard the play from offstage and sent for Bogart, offering him the role of a lifetime. He cast Bogart as escaped murderer Duke Mantee in Robert Sherwood's The Petrified Forest.

This is the second episode in a special series on gender identity policies in rowing. We're getting to know some of the people behind initiatives challenging the notion of fairness and inclusion in our sport. Since December 2022, World Athletics, World Rowing, USRowing and other national governing bodies, have announced updated gender identity policies. The Biden administration is proposing changes to Title IX. In response, voices across the rowing community have stood up for "fairness for women" and alternatively "inclusion for marginalized athletes." We're taking a closer look. Ann Strayer, OLY, was a self-described "natural" in a single in high school. She quickly earned a seat on the 1978 Junior National Team, and went on to row at Princeton 1978 to 1982. While at university she made her first National Team in 1981, followed by five more teams in the 1980s, culminating in a spot on the 1988 Olympic squad. Today, Strayer is the Varsity Women's Coach at Oakland United Rowing in Oakland, CA. In response to the ICONS petition seeking to define "eligibility for the women's/girl's categories to participants born female," Strayer and fellow OUR coach and Olympian Erin Cafaro have written a letter in support of USRowing's gender identity policy. They, along with 50+ Olympians and coaches who have signed the letter, strongly believe that the most important thing for scholastic transgender and non-binary athletes is to welcome them into boathouses, and allow them to row as the gender with which they identify. . QUICK LOOK 00:00 - Rachel and Tara talk gender identity policies, the ICONS petition fighting for fairness for females, and the letter that Strayer and Erin Cafaro have written in support of gender inclusive policies. 08:15 - Team Huddle: Coach Strayer's bio in 45 seconds  09:10 - Rapid Fire Q&A 12:40 - Growing up in Cape Cod, MA: sailboats, softball, and basketball.

In this episode, Chris Gondek interviews author John Palfrey about how diversity and free expression can coexist on a modern campus. Safe spaces, trigger warnings, microaggressions, the disinvitation of speakers, demands to rename campus landmarks—debate over these issues began in lecture halls and on college quads but ended up on op-ed pages in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, on cable news, and on social media. Some of these critiques had merit, but others took a series of cheap shots at “crybullies” who needed to be coddled and protected from the real world. Few questioned the assumption that colleges must choose between free expression and diversity. In Safe Spaces, Brave Spaces, John Palfrey argues that the essential democratic values of diversity and free expression can, and should, coexist on campus. Palfrey, currently Head of School at Phillips Academy, Andover, and formerly Professor and Vice Dean at Harvard Law School, writes that free expression and diversity are more compatible than opposed. Free expression can serve everyone—even if it has at times been dominated by white, male, Christian, heterosexual, able-bodied citizens. Diversity is about self-expression, learning from one another, and working together across differences; it can encompass academic freedom without condoning hate speech. Palfrey proposes an innovative way to support both diversity and free expression on campus: creating safe spaces and brave spaces. In safe spaces, students can explore ideas and express themselves with without feeling marginalized. In brave spaces—classrooms, lecture halls, public forums—the search for knowledge is paramount, even if some discussions may make certain students uncomfortable. The strength of our democracy, says Palfrey, depends on a commitment to upholding both diversity and free expression, especially when it is hardest to do so. Learn more about your ad choices.

For the second-to-last episode in our private school series, our guest Kayla narrates her journey from a New Jersey public school to the total environment of Phillips Academy — Andover. Growing up middle class in the suburbs, Kayla's entry into Prep for Prep's “Prep 9” program meant a 90-minute commute to the big city and a newfound sense of class consciousness. Getting to know her Prep peers, largely from low-income backgrounds, was a lesson in economic inequality. When she got to Andover, however, the pendulum swung in the opposite direction, making Kayla keenly aware of the privilege she lacked. Black and openly queer by 14, she realizes in retrospect that the institution was not one made for people like her. But boarding school, despite its normalization of whiteness and extreme wealth, was an overwhelmingly positive part of Kayla's development. Still, Kayla finds that the Prep 9 model is not a scalable one promising meaningful change for the American education crisis. Other topics include the racial politics of dating in boarding school, the contention over romantic room visitations, and the preppy classics (Vineyard Vines) vs. the American classics (Hollister).

Her essays and columns have been featured in The National Catholic Reporter, The Boston Globe, The Providence Journal, New England Tennis Magazine, and most recently as part of WBUR's Cognoscenti series, Boston's NPR affiliate. Her debut book, And So I Walked, recounts her journey of traversing the 500-mile Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Using the famed pilgrimage path as a backdrop, Gardner's memoir weaves together her personal narrative with the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges presented by the Camino. Inspirational, and at times heart-wrenching, And So I Walked explores how faith, family, and friendship both change us and sustain us. A native of Massachusetts, the author now lives in California with her wife Beth. Audrey Scanlan Audrey serves as the Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Central Pennsylvania - an elected position that gives her oversight of 60 churches and 11,000 folks who belong to the Episcopal Church in the region. Conveniently, the AT runs right through the middle of the area that she oversees! She lives just 4 miles from a trailhead in the middle of the Cumberland Valley (PA) which is one of the most gentle (read: flat) sections of the entire AT! Audrey tries to get out on the trail at least once during the week and walk and run around the cornfields in our neighborhood on most mornings. Audrey was ordained in her mid-40s after two other careers- one as a restaurant chef, and another working in the guidance department of my town's elementary school. She grew up and lived in Northwestern CT until moving to PA almost 6 years ago. She will be 63 in September. She loves to cook, still, and is happiest in the kitchen, or out on the trail. Audrey and her husband Glenn have three children and two toddler grandsons who they are going "love up" as soon as Covid is over! And, like lots of folks, someday... she wants to thru-hike the AT. :) :) Lisa Work Lisa has been in education for over 30 years, serving in private schools and public schools in the roles of teacher, administrator, and consultant.

Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that the original name for Providence was Providence Plantation? Prior to 2020, the state's official name was State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. State Senator Harold Metts introduced a resolution for another ballot referendum on removing the words "and Providence Plantations" from the state's name, saying, "Whatever the meaning of the term 'plantations' in the context of Rhode Island's history, it carries a horrific connotation when considering the tragic and racist history of our nation." Now for our feature story: Rhode Island has surpassed 2,500 deaths from the coronavirus. In a state of just over 1 million people, this is a heady proposition. According to the CDC, more than 500,000 people in the US have passed away due to Covid as we approach the 1 year anniversary shutdowns related to the virus. The Rhode Island Department of Public Health said last Saturday morning that the state death total from the virus sat at 2,502 even though there has been some positive news. Cases are trending downwards and Rhode Island has outperformed the states with the worst infection rates, having a flatter and less spiky rate of infection. The health department also had promising news with nearly 68,000 Rhode Islanders now fully vaccinated against the virus and more doses on the way.  As a reminder, Rhode Island has one of the country's oldest populations and remaining vigilant and careful over the next few months is especially important as vaccinations rates increase and the threat of coronavirus hopefully comes to an end.

Episode 24, you already know what's goin' on. It's incredibly difficult to believe that we're actually approaching a year since Kobe's transition, along with 8 other victims in an incredibly tragic crash. It goes without saying that Kobe's impact is ever lasting. I'll never forget watching his historic 60 point game. Rip Bean. Now, today's episode is with Union Football's Will Sirmon IV. Originally from Destrehan, Louisiana, Sirmon grew up in a world of football. From his father, who played for The University of Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns, to his Grandfather being on the board of advisors at LSU, the game is in his blood. Sirmon spent his first 3 years of high school playing quarterback, patiently waiting for breakout opportunities. When he was finally slated to start, he torn his labrum in an off- field incident. This led to a position change, and an inability to throw how he had before. Switching to receiver, he was locked in yet another position battle. This one was with future NFL All-Pro, Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson. After minimal playing time at receiver, Sirmon was without offers and headed north to complete a Post graduate year at Phillips Academy, where we met. Our season was such a rollercoaster that you have to actually listen to us talk about it to understand . Regardless, we had fun and beat our rival, Exeter. Sirmon made 5 starts at quarterback, providing a much needed flash. When looking at colleges, he was sure that he was going to play receiver . Mostly Division 3 offers began flowing in, with some teams even wanting to see more of him at quarterback. Just two days before the deadline, Sirmon got a call from Holy Cross. A spot had opened up last minute, and though it was only a half-scholarship, he took it. Unfortunately as fate would have it, he torn his opposite labrum. That, combined with difficulty adjusting to being a full-time receiver, led to a split from the program. He weighed all of his options, including running track to retain scholarship money. Eventually, another call came in. This one was from Will Bellamy, the starting quarterback for Union College. Bellamy was doing his own postgrad year at Loomis in 2016-17 and is also from Louisiana. It seemed like a perfect match for Sirmon and has since been, with Union coming off a strong season and playoff berth. Another possibility that came along with the transfer was traveling abroad. Sirmon was all set to travel to Germany before Covid-19, and still has plans to go afterwards. Sirmon is a Political Science major, with a minor in German. Recorded 1. 12. 21.

Bill Drayton -- Ashoka's Legacy: Everyone a Changemaker

“Once young people see themselves as changemakers, the world will be on a very different path—a path that is limitlessly hopeful.” -- Bill Drayton Considered one of America’s leading pioneers in the field of citizen-led service for humanity on a global scale, Bill Drayton is the behind-the-scenes lever of social entrepreneurship, having coined the term himself in 1972. The rise of social entrepreneurship reflects a growing sense that many of the most promising solutions to global problems don’t necessarily depend on action by large institutions, government aid, or foundation grants. They come from individuals at the grassroots level willing to bring entrepreneurial thinking to bear on some of our toughest social problems.  Social entrepreneurs are "pragmatic visionaries" that share many characteristics of successful business entrepreneurs but seek social impact, not business profit. Today, Drayton is the founder and CEO of Ashoka: Innovators for the Public, a world-famous organization he created in 1980 to help support, connect, and build up social entrepreneurs and their ideas. Many of the most innovative and successful social entrepreneurs of our time have received grants, fellowships, peer and other support through Ashoka. Ashoka is now active in more than 90 countries and supports the work of over 3,600 Fellows – assisting social entrepreneurs from the start-up phase onward as the world’s largest network of social entrepreneurs. By funding and supporting the work of social entrepreneurs around the world, Drayton has impacted issues ranging from human rights abuses to climate change to poverty.  Drayton’s vision of social entrepreneurship received global recognition when Ashoka fellow Mohammed Yunus was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for launching microfinance through Grameen Bank as an essential tool to support the small businesses started by the world’s poor. The seed of social entrepreneurship was planted on Drayton’s trip to India in 1963 when, as a 20-year-old student on summer break from Harvard, he drove (along with 3 other students) a red-and-white Volkswagen van from Munich to India to meet Vinoba Bhave, widely considered the spiritual successor to Gandhi and founder of the Land Gift Movement. Vinoba had traveled around India asking for, receiving, and redistributing land given by farmers to those of lower castes. The efficacy of Bhave’s journey was astounding – successfully  delegating and redistributing 7 million acres of land in India to aspiring landowners, and creating one of the most successful voluntary transfers of land in the world's history.  Drayton was inspired by what he saw as a display of social entrepreneurship – what he perceived to be sharp business sense combined with a commitment to social betterment. He advocates for the increasing awareness of motivation rooted from deep within to serve the whole, the sum, through equitable and sustainable solutions. He speaks out against indoctrination that leads to the repetition of static problems that plague our world. Drayton emphasizes that the transformation of a changemaker is the transformation of a human to a giver – and “we all know that being a giver means a longer life, a healthier life, and a happier life.” Public service and strong values run through the history of the families of both of Drayton’s parents, including several of the earliest anti-slavery abolitionist and women's leaders in the U.S. Born in New York City, Drayton attended high school at Phillips Academy, where he established the Asia Society, which soon became the school's most popular student organization. He attended Harvard where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1965, where he created the Ashoka Table, bringing in prominent government, union, and church leaders for off-the-record dinners at which students could ask "how things really worked". Drayton entered Balliol College, Oxford and received a Master of Arts degree in 1967. He then completed Yale Law School, where he founded Yale Legislative Services, which, at its peak, involved a third of the law school's student body. After working at McKinsey & Company as a management consultant for almost ten years, he taught at Stanford Law School and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. From 1977 to 1981, while serving the Carter Administration as Assistant Administrator at the Environmental Protection Agency, he launched emissions trading (the basis of Kyoto) among other reforms. He launched Ashoka in 1981, using the stipend received when elected a MacArthur Fellow in 1984 to devote himself fully to Ashoka. Bill is Ashoka’s Chair and Chief Executive Officer. He is also chair of three other organizations; Youth Venture, Community Greens, and Get America Working! Bill has won numerous awards and honors throughout his career. In 2005, he was selected one of America’s Best Leaders by US News & World Report and Harvard’s Center for Public Leadership. Other awards include the Yale Law School’s highest alumni honor, the National Wildlife Federation’s Conservation Achievement Award International; and the National Academy of Public Administration National Public Service Award.  He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2008, Drayton was named one of Utne Reader magazine's "50 Visionaries Who Are Changing the World". Driving Drayton is the desire to help ordinary citizens and individuals realize their potentials as changemakers.  Noting that old hierarchical systems are dying, Drayton wants us to adapt and "move into the new reality of an everything-changing world where everyone has to be a changemaker to be able to contribute. This is the underlying reality." Join us in conversation with this world-transforming visionary and changemaker!

How do you measure a man? In America in 1942, the measurement certainly started at joining the service. George Herbert Walker Bush was a very young man in December 1941 when the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor thrust America into World War II. He was just 18 years old, and still in his Senior year at Phillips Academy in the Northeast US. That very young Man opted to put his college plans on hold immediately and without hesitation to join the United States War effort as soon as he graduated Phillips Academy in that spring of 1942. It would be very fair to say that he was a privileged young man, and with college plans already in place, he surely could have continued with his path and probably avoided the war altogether. But that was not the Man that George Bush was. He joined the Navy and immediately signed up to be a pilot. After a 10 month training program aboard the USS Sable He was Commissioned Ensign Bush on June 9, 1943. His commission in June came 3 days BEFORE his 19th birthday, making him the youngest Naval Aviator in the US Navy at the time. Ensign Bush flew Grumman TBM Avengers from the USS San Jacinto in the Pacific Theatre, earning a promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade. During an attack of the Japanese strongholds at Bonin Islands Lieutenant Bush's plane was struck by enemy flak, but he still delivered his bombs and torpedoes on target. He was forced to ditch the Aircraft in the sea. Lieutenant Bush parachuted safely to the sea, but his copilot was killed when his chute failed to open. Bush waited in a life raft until he was rescued by the Submarine USS Finback. He lived and worked on the Finback for a whole month, participating in the rescue of other downed airmen before returning to the San Jacinto. Lieutenant Bush took the loss of his fellow airmen to heart. He often wondered why he was saved, when others were not. He wondered if God had a plan for him all along. And he vowed to never forget those brave men. Before leaving the Navy Bush married his sweetheart Barbara Pierce in 1945. The marriage produced 6 children, although a tragic illness took their daughter Robin before she had a chance at life. After his discharge from the Navy, Bush enrolled at Yale where he earned a degree in economics. He became president of his fraternity and even played on the Yale baseball team in the first 2 College World Series ever. After college George moved his family to Texas and entered the Oil business. With much success in that venture, George Bush turned his attention to politics. He won his first public office in 1966, and after a long and diverse political Career he became the Vice President of the United States in 1980. In 1988, after 2 terms as VP, He was elected to the office of President of The United States where he served from 1989 to 1993. George Herbert Walker Bush was the first Incumbent Vice President to be elected to President in 152 years. His marriage to Barbara lasted until her death in 2018, making them the longest married presidential couple in the history of the nation at 73 years of marriage. The next longest pair was John and Abigail Adams at 54 years. On November 30, 2018, One Year ago this week, Former President George Herbert Walker Bush passed away at the age of 94. If we ask again how to measure a man, we must look at the lifetime of service from George H.W. Bush as the highest marks on that rule, along with the lifetime of commitment to his family and his nation.

United States Phase 1 1635, Boston Latin School became the first secondary school in the US. 1642,  New England towns required to hire teachers, but attendance not mandatory.  Reading -writing –Latin-religion- classics  Established the right to school instruction At age 7, Latin and Greek Mostly classical education modeled on British schools with religious instruction. Phase 2 1751,  Ben Franklin, Philidelphia, “useful learning.” Modern languages, history, science, navigation. Boys only.        Mostly private academies, some public subsidies. 1778 Phillips Academy, in Andover MA real business of living Southern US, different plan, public support for the poor only.  Industrialization and urbanization produce a gradual call for the state being responsible for ed for all. Germany and France lead; US and UK slower to adopt, first for poor only (charity)  Jefferson; Democracy requires an enlightened citizenry. 1779, Jefferson tries to have VA fund 3 years of universal ed; not successful.

What do we mean by public? Movement for vouchers, charters, etc. change the idea of universal public education. Usually sold as “choice’ without mentioning taxpayer money Now for-profit players, religious and non-profit players, with specific agendas draining public schools which stick to broad universal mandate with private schools available at private cost.

In today's episode of the Steven Sully Study Podcast, Steven talks to graffiti artist DAZE, aka Chris Ellis, about his exclusive pop up exhibition titled ‘The Journey' at the Woodbury House. Daze's current exhibit is a big eyeopener to the current political climate of the world he lives in. Aside from this, we hear him talk about his life as an artist, how New York City has progressed ever since, his influences and other contemporary artists. Daze also gives advice to aspiring artists who want to follow his footsteps, so start listening in! KEY TAKEAWAYS Daze shares stories about some renowned artists: Richard Hambleton was Daze's landlord in the 80s. Daze praises how methodical Richard is after witnessing most of his work in progress for how many years. According to Daze, Keith Haring was not just a famous art figure, he was also an activist bringing awareness and fighting for human rights. Daze is influenced by different things – other artists, other artworks, music, place, etc. And for most artists, emotions or any current happenings can massively influence the art. Putting a price on his artworks is the very last thing he'll ever do. It somehow destroys the creative process. DAZE's advice for artists who want to follow his footsteps: 1 – “Paint or create work because you got an inner need to do that.” 2 – “You got to have good work ethics.” 3 – “Be cautious with who you work with.” Daze's Top 3 Artists: Reginald Marsh, George Condo, and Caravaggio As an artist, Daze does not see any harm in using social media to promote his art. Sometimes, he posts images to share with his followers. And most importantly, he gets updated with the current state of world affairs. BEST MOMENTS “Pain can be a real influence to creation.” “Even with a sketch, you'll never really know what it's gonna look like without actually start painting it.” “Those [art price] kind of numbers are so abstract that it would be hard for me to visualize what it would look like.” “It really helps to have a sense of yourself and what your self-value is.” “Through word of mouth, you can figure out who the people you want to work with or the people you want to stay away from.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Journey – Chris ‘DAZE' Ellis | Woodbury House Image Mass Murder by Richard Hambleton | org ABOUT THE GUEST Chris Daze Ellis was born in 1962 in New York City.

(Source: Dazeworld) ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should focus on a number of key areas to be a well-rounded individual. Success should not be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships. As a person who has made a success in life and also made some cock-ups, I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit of success. I started from leaving school at 16 with very poor school results to pursue a career in plumbing following the directions of my parents that then lead me to a barrister's chamber and then to a sales floor. From here, I established a foothold in the sales market promoting financial products as well as being a founder of an art agency that has a Soho based art studio. In addition, I have invested into an urban fashion brand and into a wellness tech company, and my latest addition to the business portfolio is a property company that which creates HMO's in Medway, Kent. The diverse range of industries I find myself in has allowed me to create wealth that enables me to be my own boss so I can pursue my dreams. As a former boxer and avid sportsman, I find there are similarities between the running of businesses and competing. In my episodes, I will be sharing some of my experiences to explore deeper these connections and how they may bring you success."

How do we educate our society as it consistently evolves? The Institute for Recruitment of Teachers seeks to answer this question. Founded in 1990 by Kelly Wise, the IRT has a nearly 30-year history of producing socially justice minded educators in both the K-12 and professoriate. In this episode of Every Quarter, we sit down with the new Executive Director of the Institute for Recruitment of Teachers, LaShawnda Brooks and Jessica Acosta Chavez '06, IRT ’12, Phillips Academy's Associate Director of Admission and Outreach. As an alumna of both the program and Phillips Academy, Acosta–Chavez has the unique opportunity to speak with Brooks around the history of IRT, the current needs in educating diverse populations, and the new possibilities for the IRT. As the American demographics change, so do our need for educators. According to the Learning Policy Institute, people of color represent nearly 40% of the population and 50% of our students. Since the IRT's founding in 1990, the percentage of K-12 educators of color has increased from 12% to 20%. Currently, there are over 2,000 individuals who have received a Masters degree and over 330 Ph.D.s awarded to IRT alumni.

Minds On Media & Education

Can a campus that values free speech, opposing points of view and vigorous debate simultaneously provide a safe environment for each of its members?  Are the values of tolerance and safety necessarily in conflict with the value of hearing a wide spectrum of opinions?  My guest is John Palfrey, Head of Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts and author of Safe Spaces, Brave Spaces: Diversity and Free Expression in Education.  We discuss the challenge of cultivating healthy argumentation on campuses, the influence of social media, and how he navigates these concerns with a diverse high school student body.

Grit has been a pretty popular buzzword in education these past few years. The concept isn't exactly new. Perseverance, willingness to learn, passion, positively dealing with adversity—these are all characteristics that we typically associate with good students, and people for that matter. While we may have anecdotally known this for a while, scientific research is now confirming that grit is gold. Angela Duckworth is the Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. She is also the founder and CEO of Character Lab, a nonprofit whose mission is to advance the science and practice of character development. Duckworth studies grit and self-control, two attributes that are distinct from IQ and yet powerfully predict success and well-being. She recently visited Phillips Academy to talk about her research and present to the community. Before hitting the stage Duckworth sat down with History & Social Science Instructor and Tang Institute Fellow Noah Rachlin to dive deeper into her thesis. Informed by research in the field, Noah Rachlin is now in his fourth year of leading an effort to help students and teachers see mistakes not as impenetrable roadblocks but as natural parts of the learning process. Rachlin has defined this practice as “learning disposition,” which he breaks into four key concepts: mindset (“I believe it is possible to improve”); motivation (“I want to improve”); deliberate practice (“I’m going to work at the upper limits of my present ability to improve.”); and focus (“I will commit myself to this work over time”).  During this coming year, Rachlin will lead a variety of activities designed to deepen and expand this work, through drawing connections with related efforts on campus, including work emanating from the Sykes Wellness Center, the Empathy & Balance curriculum, the work of the Dean of Students and Dean of Studies offices, and additional efforts. He will also continue efforts to partner with other schools and organizations who are implementing and developing strategies designed to help students to understand and guide their learning. Duckworth’s first book, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, debuted May 3, 2016, as an immediate New York Times bestseller.

Kennedy came to Andover in the first year of coeducation and went on to serve as the first female editor of The Phillipian, the Academy's student-run newspaper. This episode is like listening in on old friends reuniting after many years apart. They discuss the merger of Phillips and Abbot Academies, what life was like on campus in the early seventies and how students and faculty adapted to the transition.

Fake news. Black Lives Matter. Women’s rights. These are just a few of the current issues Andover students are trying to grapple with. Phillips Academy is committed to equity and inclusion, youth from every quarter, non sibi. But how do you uphold these values when it feels like the world beyond our campus bubble is turning into the direct antithesis of everything we try to instill in our community? There are no easy answers. Conversations, however, are happening. Students want to be involved. They have a voice. And we need to listen. Back in April Andover hosted Stand Up: Student Activism in Independent Schools, a daylong symposium for independent school educators and administrators.

“I never thought of myself as pitiful”… “but I struggled with the injustice of our history”-- Jodi Gillette Indian Country is humble. It encourages, as discussed on a previous episode, leadership as service. Jodi Gillette is a great example of this leadership style. Jodi Gillette is a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. She grew up in Kyle, South Dakota. Jodi describes herself as one of the most fortunate people in the country because of where she is from. As a child she was surrounded by family and friends. Sports, ceremonies, and powwows were central to her childhood. Her upbringing provided a solid foundation for her education and career. Jodi became well known throughout Indian Country through her service in the White House under President Obama. She was a policy advisor to President Obama on Native American affairs, and served in other key positions throughout her tenure in the administration. She now serves as a policy advisor at Sonosky, Chambers, Sachse, Endreson & Perry LLP. In this episode of the Lakota Voices series, we discuss Jodi’s background further and how she ended up in the administration. The episode covers a lot of ground, and we didn’t get to discuss other aspects of Jodi’s life that has also received significant attention. In this episode we discuss: The role of sports in her life. Shauna Long (Standing Rock Sioux), a professional basketball player in Morocco and daughter of a childhood friend. How Jodi attended a math and science program at Phillips Academy, and eventually attended the boarding school for her high school education. Her experience at Dartmouth (which she was admitted to after an essay made up for her SAT score), including how Jodi almost left school but Dartmouth went “all in” to keep her enrolled. How anyone can make a difference in the lives of others, and it doesn’t need to be a grand gesture. Jodi’s determination to change the narrative told about Native peoples as part of her work as an assistant on the production How the West was Lost. How hard it is to make change in tribal government...and how that experience was the best preparation for her experience at the White House.
