In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. LaKimbre Brown, an experienced educational leader and advocate for equity in schools, to explore the ever-changing landscape of education. Dr. Brown shares her insights on how schools are evolving to meet the diverse needs of today's students, from shifting curriculums to addressing representation in both classrooms and leadership. We discuss what it means to truly serve “different students with different needs,” how curriculum must adapt to be more inclusive and relevant, and why having educators and materials that reflect the identities of all students matters more than ever. Dr. Brown brings real-world examples, deep wisdom, and a clear call to action for educators, leaders, and communities alike. Whether you're a teacher, parent, or school leader, this episode will challenge you to rethink what equitable and responsive education should look like in today's world. Quotables ** Quotes are from the interviewee ** "If you want to have systemic change at district level you need to really think about coherence and how all the systems work together." "I believe in the child or student sitting in front of me and I believe they can do this hard thing." “Representation matters.” About Dr. LaKimbre Brown Dr. LaKimbre Brown is Chief Program Officer at Leading Educators and has more than 22 years of experience as an educator. As Chief of Schools for Lorain City Schools, she led 12 of 15 schools to state assessment gains and tripled access to high-quality Pre-K.

Edie Perkins was a 46-year-old elite runner and cyclist when a catastrophic accident left her paralyzed from the chest down—just as she was entering menopause. In this candid conversation, Edie reveals how her hormonal changes intersected with her spinal cord injury recovery, leaving her with misdiagnosed UTIs, sheet-soaking night sweats she blamed on her injury, declining bone density, and a huge struggle to sort through her challenges and get quality care. Yet, through all of it, Edie continues to race (finishing second place in the handcycle division of this year's Boston Marathon), ski, and live an active life. We talk about it all and more this week. Edie Perkins served as Executive Director of the Kelly Brush Foundation from 2021 to 2025. She previously spent over twenty years managing businesses and developing curriculum products for Pre-K-12 schools. In 2017, Edie was struck by a driver while riding her bike and suffered a spinal cord injury (SCI). She is now paralyzed from the chest down. Always an athlete and active in the running and cycling communities, she sought out support after her injury and is now a competitive handcyclist and finished second at the 2025 Boston Marathon. She is thrilled to bring together her professional background, passion for sports, and new experience living with an SCI to help others thrive.Resources:The Kelly Brush FoundationGet 25% off all courses through the end of June 2025!

Robert Fico lieta za agresorom Putinom do Moskvy a našich spojencov považuje za vojnových štváčov. Hrozí zablokovaním európskych sankcií proti Moskve. Chváli autoritatívne a komunistické režimy, a napriek tomu, že jeho vláda má len tesnú väčšinu v parlamente a za sebou polročnú vládnu krízu, chcel by meniť politický systém na Slovensku. Prekáža mu, že máme veľa politických strán a že v takej Číne či Vietname si tamojšie režimy veci môžu plánovať, no u nás musia byť každé štyri roky slobodné voľby, ktoré vraj prerušia kontinuitu.Čo chce premiér povedať ak hovorí, že liberálna demokracia zlyhala? Znamená jeho politika na všetky štyri svetové strany hlavne inšpiráciu totalitným východom? Čo sú to vlastne za režimy v Číne, Vietname či Uzbekistane, kam rád cestuje a ako fungujú? Ako môže Robert Fico zmeniť Slovensko a aké na to má nástroje? A čo na to Európska únia, ktorej sa teraz vyhráža, že nepodporí protiruské sankcie? A čo znamenali odkazy šéfky európskej diplomacie Kallas či nemeckého kancelára Merza pre premiéra a pre Slovensko?Braňo Závodský sa rozprával s politológom Filozofickej fakulty UK profesorom Jozefom Bátorom.
