ITP 152 - Rich Boerner, former Head of School in South Korea, Bangladesh, and Brazil, joins the International Teacher Podcast to unpack how AI is changing international school hiring, teacher interviews, and the search for true school fit. Drawing on decades of leadership experience, Rich explains why resumes, cover letters, and traditional interviews often fail to predict teacher success, especially when bias, brand-name schools, and polished “performance theater” get in the way. The conversation explores TruFit Talent, an AI-supported recruitment model using role-play simulations, competency-based assessment, and evidence-driven hiring data to help international schools find stronger candidates while giving teachers a fairer shot. From TCK life and school leadership to recruitment failures, hiring costs, candidate ghosting, and the future of teacher interviews, this conversation digs into what international educators really need: more “the right fit”, clearer expectations, and fewer expensive hiring disasters dressed up as “bad fit.”Rich's Email: Rich@TruFitTalent.comThe TruFit Talent website:  https://www.trufittalent.com/Try it Out! https://try.trufittalent.com/Geek out with TrueProof, which is the way they measure AI authenticity in the candidates' application process to make sure they're doing it ethically and fairly.

ITP 150 - Christian's story highlights both the opportunity and the complexity of international teaching. Now based in Singapore, he reflects on a career that began in North Carolina and expanded into leading international schools in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore. What starts as a conversation about getting into international education quickly becomes a thoughtful look at why teaching abroad remains a hidden pathway for so many educators, even as the world of international schools continues to grow.A major focus of the conversation is learning support in international schools and the uneven reality of inclusive education abroad. Christian shares what it looks like to work in special education overseas, explaining how schools differ in their ability to support students with ADHD, autism, and other neurodiverse learning needs. The discussion also unpacks the important distinction between learning support and language support, while exploring how more schools are being pushed to adapt as student needs become more visible and more widely understood.The episode becomes especially powerful as Christian speaks about life as a single father overseas raising a son with autism. He describes adopting his son in Hong Kong, recognizing early developmental differences, and facing the difficult reality that many international schools still cannot support children with moderate to severe special needs. His work creating a resource list for families searching for more inclusive schools adds a practical and hopeful dimension to the conversation, especially for international teachers with children who may feel their options are limited.-more information-The International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education.

The right fit doesn't always show up first. Sometimes it shows up after you've tried the wrong things, learned what you're actually made of, and gotten honest about what you're uniquely positioned to build. Lindsay Friedman is a four-time founder who failed twice before finding the work that was hers to do and she built it directly from her experience as a caregiver. Lindsay joins Bryce to talk about entrepreneurship, purpose-driven work, and what it looks like to stop chasing the right opportunity and start building from the right foundation. She works at the intersection of technology, advocacy, and eldercare an industry that touches almost every family and gets very little attention until a crisis hits. This conversation is about finding your lane, building inside it with everything you have, and why the work that comes from lived experience hits differently than the work that comes from a business plan. This episode is for anyone navigating a career pivot, sitting with a business idea they can't shake, or trying to figure out whether what they're building is actually the right fit or just the next thing. About Lindsay Friedman: Lindsay Friedman is a four-time founder, lifelong multigenerational caregiver, and former nursing assistant with hands-on experience in memory care and eldercare. She is the founder of CareBloom and LTCareNav, a platform that connects families with vetted long-term care experts to make quality care more accessible and affordable. Lindsay combines technology, personal experience, and advocacy to empower families navigating complex care decisions and is committed to transforming how society cares for seniors.  What We Cover: Lindsay's background as a caregiver, nursing assistant, and multigenerational care advocate What her first two failed companies taught her that success couldn't How CareBloom and LTCareNav came directly from personal experience, not a market gap analysis What the long-term care space actually looks like for families trying to navigate it Building a platform at the intersection of technology and human advocacy The right fit question how passion and lived experience together create a different kind of business foundation What workplace autonomy looks like when you're the founder and the mission is personal Where to find Lindsay and how to connect with her work Key Takeaways: Failure is not the opposite of the right fit sometimes it's the path to it The businesses that come from lived experience have a staying power that market-driven ideas often don't Passion alone isn't enough, but passion plus experience is a legitimate competitive advantage The long-term care space affects nearly every family and most people don't engage with it until they're already in crisis Workplace autonomy as a founder means you get to decide what problem is worth your career Resources + Links: CareBloom: https://carebloom.com/ LTCareNav: https://ltcarenav.com/ Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lfriedman1/  

This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. "A good opportunity can still be a wrong fit. That sounds simple, but it's not always easy to accept. A good opportunity can be very convincing. It can come with the title, the salary, and the respect from other people. You tell yourself I should be happy. I worked hard for this. And yes, gratitude matters, but gratitude is not the same thing as alignment." Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: Have you ever looked successful on paper but felt disconnected from your work? In this episode, I share the career decision that taught me success and alignment are not always the same thing. If you're questioning whether a role, career, or opportunity still fits, you'll learn how to recognize the clues that something deeper may be asking for your attention before you have all the answers. You'll hear the three lessons I learned from leaving a respected leadership role, including why you don't need a complete roadmap before taking the next right step. I'm a professor, speaker, author, coach, and creator of the PurposeMAKER philosophy, framework, and platform. Through Leadership Purpose with Dr. Robin, I help high-achieving women close the gap between success and fulfillment so they can create lives and careers filled with meaning and purpose.

A central discussion in the podcast focused on the applicability of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) for small Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Divergent perspectives were presented regarding whether the EOS framework is suitable for MSPs with very few staff. The conversation highlighted that while EOS provides accountability, transparency, and structured communication, some very small organizations (e.g., four employees or fewer) may find the framework's meeting cadence and process requirements disproportionate to their operational needs. It was noted that EOS promises value in promoting ownership and alignment but that this benefit is more likely realized when an organization reaches a scale where individual ad hoc communications become inefficient. Supporting these observations, it was emphasized that EOS, as detailed in resources such as Gino Wickman's book and related summaries, is designed with flexibility to span small, medium, and large teams. Examples were offered indicating that even companies with four employees have derived benefits through formalizing updates and consolidating communication, provided their baseline culture supports collective knowledge sharing. However, one position outlined that simply reading EOS materials may be sufficient for the smallest organizations to improve focus without fully implementing the structure, especially when daily meetings or formal processes are not otherwise necessary. The episode additionally examined risk management and operational best practices surrounding MSP business growth and eventual sale. The dialogue discouraged running a business constantly as if preparing for immediate sale, citing the need for risk-taking during growth phases. Factors such as maintaining diverse client portfolios, implementing clear master service agreements (MSAs), reducing owner dependency, and minimizing client concentration risk were underscored as practices that support both ongoing scalability and future valuation. A case was discussed in which valuation was negatively impacted by an overreliance on non-contracted, concentrated clients and a lack of W2 employees, illustrating the risk implications of operational decisions. For MSPs and IT service leaders, the discussion underscored the importance of regularly reviewing operational frameworks and business hygiene regardless of size. The tradeoffs between structure and agility require clear-eyed evaluation, particularly in managing risk, scaling sustainably, and ensuring future options for valuation or exit. While formal systems like EOS can strengthen accountability and communication, overengineering processes in very small teams may reduce efficiency.

If you plan to go skiing, you wear ski boots. If you're heading to the beach, you wear sandals. For a quick jog around the block, you wear running shoes.You select your shoes based on the type of activity. Similarly, when training, correcting, or playing with your son, it's vital to select the appropriate tone for the task at hand. It's also crucial that you understand your son's personality so that you can most effectively connect with him. At times, you may need to choose a serious tone. Other times, a light-hearted attitude is most appropriate. There's no “one-size-fits-all” type of parenting. Understanding your son takes effort. But the more time and attention you devote to him, the more prepared he'll be for life.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

In this episode, Sarah and Cesar Roman sit down with Janet Gunn, a dynamic community leader and MSO ambassador from Greensburg, Indiana, to spotlight the real-world impacts of universal school choice. Together, they explore how policies enabling educational options are transforming families' lives, with a special focus on the success of Good Shepherd Christian Academy. The conversation dives into the logistics of community organizing, what motivates parents to seek alternative school options, and the power of grassroots advocacy in driving state-level education reform. Highlights How School Choice Opens Doors: Janet Gunn describes how universal school choice gives rural families access to private, faith-based education that once felt unattainable due to financial barriers. Grassroots Organizing in Action: Insights into the “rock the block” event, parades, and outreach at Good Shepherd Christian Academy, including how these efforts boosted enrollment and awareness in the Greensburg area. Community and Belonging: The episode unpacks the profound impact that volunteers, such as Janet Gunn, have in shaping tight-knit school environments—kids affectionately call her “Grammy,” underscoring deep relationship-building Advocacy as a Game-Changer: Janet Gunn discusses how everyday parents and community members, not just policy experts, are instrumental in passing monumental legislation—and why your voice matters. The Role of Faith and Community: The conversation centers on the value of Christian education, prayerful support systems, and community care at Good Shepherd. Practical Steps for Families: Advice for parents looking for a new educational fit: visit schools, take tours, talk to staff, and trust your instincts to find the best environment for your child. Takeaways School choice empowers families of all income levels to access private education—especially crucial in rural or lower-income areas. Personal relationships and grassroots organizing drive enrollment and success, from fun events to one-on-one encouragement and outreach. Advocacy at the local level truly makes statewide change possible; every voice has the potential to impact legislation and improve options for students. Faith-based schools provide more than academics; they nurture community, care, and values, creating spaces where students and families thrive. Finding the right educational fit is a journey; touring schools and meeting teachers is key to making informed, confident decisions.

Dr. Joel Berg is joined once again by Dr. Scott Schwartz, this time to tackle how candidates can best prepare for the Residency application process. Dr. Schwartz emphasizes the importance of considering the “obvious questions,” like which type of program is the best fit for your future professional aspirations and learning style.

Success is often found in the commonly overlooked details. Guest Bio: Scott B. Schwartz, DDS, MPH, is an Associate Professor at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in the Division of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, where he also serves as Director of the Advanced Education in Pediatric Dentistry training program.

Expats from the US can have a harder time than most if they want to move to Ireland. With his calm approach and a propensity to plan ahead, it's easy to think Tom Lennon had it all figured out!In this episode, I'm joined by Tom Lennon, one of our clients who recently made the move from North Carolina to Limerick with his wife, Mary Lane. What started as a family connection to Ireland turned into a very real pathway through the Foreign Birth Registration process and, ultimately, a full relocation. Tom shares how that journey unfolded, from gathering documentation to that moment where it all starts to feel very real.The key thing to note here is that this wasn't a rushed decision. We talk through the practical steps they took to test the move before committing: short stays, different locations, and giving themselves permission to change their minds along the way.Tom also shares how they approached choosing where to live, what surprised them about Ireland today, and why Limerick ended up being the right fit for them, even though it's not the most obvious choice for expats.This is one of those areas where the emotional and practical sides of a move really overlap. Tom gives an honest account of what settling in actually looks like. If you're thinking about making a similar move, there's a lot here that will help you think it through and plan ahead for what's important.Main Topics Discussed in this Episode:The Decision to Move to Ireland: Tom shares how a long-standing connection to Ireland, combined with a push during COVID, turned a “what if” into a real relocation plan.Navigating the Foreign Birth Registration Process: A practical look at how Tom secured Irish citizenship through ancestry, including the timeline, documentation, and what made the process feel achievable.Planning the Move with Flexibility in Mind: This comes up a lot with clients - Tom explains their step-by-step approach, using trial stays and keeping an “exit strategy” to reduce risk and pressure.Choosing Where to Live in Ireland: Tom walks through how they tested different locations across Ireland and why Limerick ultimately stood out as the right fit for their lifestyle.Adjusting to Life in Ireland as an Expat Retiree: An honest reflection on settling in, from housing challenges to cultural expectations, and what it really feels like to start building a life in a new country.Resources Tom Recommends for Expats:Citizens Information service: https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/Expat Taxes: https://expattaxes.ie/Crosscare Irish Diaspora Support Project: https://diasporasupport.ie/*****Use the link below and quote "Expat Taxes" when registering with Currencies Direct to receive a €50 One4All or Amazon voucher when you transfer €5000 or more in your first six months with Currencies Direct.*Click here for a special offer from our sponsor, Currencies Direct******If you loved this episode or have a similar story, we'd love to hear from you!

Have you ever had a prospect who looked perfect on paper? They had the budget, the need, and the right timing, but something in the conversation left you feeling completely out of alignment. In this episode, Nikki Rausch tackles a common but tricky sales dilemma: how to handle a potential client who clashes with your core values. While it is tempting to say yes to every "qualified" lead for the sake of revenue, ignoring red flags can lead to energy draining relationships that disrupt your business and compromise your integrity. Discomfort vs. Misalignment Nikki emphasizes that there is a significant difference between a moment of discomfort and a genuine values clash. Discomfort: This often stems from a lack of communication training or a misunderstanding of your process. These situations can usually be resolved with a little education and grace. Misalignment: This occurs when trust, respect, or integrity is compromised. If a prospect expects manipulation, dismisses your expertise, or repeatedly respects no boundaries, it is a clear sign to part ways. Mastering the "Bless and Release" The goal when you decline a prospect is "clarity with kindness." You do not need to over explain or make the other person wrong. The more "story" you give, the more negotiable your boundary becomes. Key Scripts for a Graceful Exit: "Based on what you are looking to accomplish, I do not get the sense that I am the right person to support you." "I am very intentional about the strategies I teach, and I do not think my approach is the right match for what you are seeking." "After reflecting on our conversation, I do not believe I am the best fit to support you in the way you need, so I am going to respectfully decline moving forward." The Power of "No" Declining a wrong fit client is not a failure; it is a strategic advantage. Saying "no" protects your energy, your reputation, and your standards. Most importantly, it opens up the space for you to say "yes" to the right opportunities. Nikki shares a powerful story of how declining a misaligned speaking gig led to booking a high paying, long term VIP client within 24 hours. Episode Takeaways: Identify your non-negotiables: What are the hard lines in your business? Define your boundary: Learn to distinguish between being stretched (growth) and being compromised (misalignment). Prepare your language: Have your "bless and release" scripts ready so you can stand in your authority with confidence. Nikki invites you to join the Sales Maven Society.

ITP - 143 Thank you to our listeners. We have been going strong since 2021. This is our longest episode yet. Why? This longer anniversary episode of the International Teacher Podcast was recorded in two parts due to time zone challenges. The first segment features Kent joining Greg and JP, while the second brings in Darian, Hannah, JP, and Greg for a full group discussion.In Part 1, Kent shares his experience transitioning back to the United States after years of international teaching. He talks about the challenges of substitute teaching, lack of stable contracts, and how U.S. schools are handling staffing shortages by increasing class sizes and cutting specialist programs. The conversation highlights growing interest in international teaching among U.S.-based educators, largely driven by dissatisfaction with domestic systems.

You'll hear: How traditional schools and nontraditional schools differ in structure, pacing, and expectations What personalized, mastery-based learning looks like in K–5 reading and middle school math Why small, relationship-driven schools focus on fit, growth, and belonging rather than comparison How to tell if a learning environment supports your child academically, socially, and emotionally Questions families should ask when choosing a school—based on alignment, not pressure or fear This episode is especially helpful for teachers and parents who are exploring microschools, hybrid schools, or alternative education options and want to understand how these models work in real classrooms.

https://teachhoops.com/ The deterioration of fundamentals in the modern game is a direct result of the "Highlight Culture" that permeates youth and high school basketball. In an era where a player's "value" is often measured by their social media mixtape rather than their defensive win shares, the incentive structure has shifted. Players are spending thousands of hours practicing "deep threes" and "flashy handles" while ignoring the "Zero-Talent" fundamentals like boxing out, proper footwork on a closeout, and the simple chest pass. As a coach, you are fighting a battle against the "Instant Gratification" of the highlight reel. To reverse this trend, you must make fundamentals "cool" again by charting them and rewarding them with playing time, proving that the most fundamental team is almost always the last one standing in March. A major contributor to this decline is the disproportionate Game-to-Practice ratio found in many AAU circuits. When athletes play four games in a weekend but only practice once a week, they never develop the "Muscle Memory" required for elite execution. They are essentially "playing through" their mistakes rather than correcting them. This leads to "Dirty Reps"—poor shooting mechanics or lazy defensive stances that become baked into their game. To combat this, your practice environment must prioritize "High-Volume Rep Density." Instead of generic drills, utilize "Constraint-Based" teaching where players cannot move to the next segment until they demonstrate a perfect jump stop or a "two-handed" rebound. By making the "boring" basics a requirement for entry into the "fun" parts of practice, you raise the floor of your program's potential. Finally, the deterioration of fundamentals is often a failure of "Coach Clarity." If you aren't correcting a "travel" on a pivot in November, you shouldn't be surprised when it costs you a game in February. Fundamentals are "leaky"—if you don't constantly plug the holes, they will drain away. Use film study to show your players the direct link between a fundamental breakdown (like a missed box-out) and the resulting opponent basket. When players see that their "individual sloppiness" has a "team cost," they develop a sense of accountability. By doubling down on the "Basics of the Game" during the mid-season January grind, you aren't being "old school"—re-establishing these habits is a strategic advantage that will allow your team to out-execute more "talented" but less disciplined opponents.
