At Niwot High School, winning has become part of the standard. But somehow, they've found a way to keep it fun.Quinn Sullivan is a junior from Niwot, Colorado, and one of the top distance runners in the Class of 2027. He's run 1:49 for 800m meters, 4:04 for 1600m, 8:41 for 3200m, and 14:34 for 5K cross country. Last fall, he placed 5th at Nike Cross Nationals, helping Niwot capture its second straight national title.But this conversation goes way beyond the times.What stood out most to me talking with Quinn was how grounded he is. For someone who's one of the top runners in the country and racing for the best team in the nation, there's no ego. Just a real love for the sport, for his teammates, and for the process of getting better.We talked a lot about what makes Niwot different.From the outside, people see the wins, the rankings, and the pressure that comes with being the team everyone wants to beat. But Quinn gave a glimpse into the culture behind it all. A team that works incredibly hard, but doesn't take itself too seriously. A group that competes at the highest level, but still knows how to laugh, have fun, and enjoy being around each other every day.That balance matters.Because when expectations are high, it's easy to lose sight of why you started. Quinn talks about learning how to handle pressure, how to race free even when there's something on the line, and why keeping the joy in the sport might be one of the biggest reasons Niwot continues to succeed.This episode is about perspective. About team culture. About what happens when discipline and fun exist in the same place.If you've ever wondered what it feels like to be part of something special, this conversation will give you a real look inside.Tap into the Quinn Sullivan Special.If you enjoy The Sunday Shakeout, please consider following the show on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and leaving a five-star review.

Middle school is often where confident, curious kids begin to disappear—academically, socially, emotionally, or all three. For many families, this stage becomes confusing, overwhelming, and full of uncertainty about whether their child is truly being prepared for what comes next. In this episode, we take an honest look at why traditional middle school models so often fail young adolescents—and what parents and educators should expect and demand from a middle school program instead. Drawing from personal experience as a teacher, a middle school mom, and a microschool leader, this conversation redefines what middle school can be when it's intentionally designed around ownership, purpose, belonging, and preparedness. You'll learn why grades 6–8 are a critical turning point for confidence and identity, what students actually need during early adolescence, and how to evaluate whether a middle school model is genuinely preparing students for high school—not just keeping them busy. This episode offers clarity, language, and practical insight for families and educators navigating one of the most important seasons of a child's educational journey. If you've ever wondered why middle school feels so hard—or how it could be done better—this episode will change the way you think about what's possible. ----more---- Microschool Masterminds: skool.com/microschool-masterminds Every Thursday from 12-1 pm (EST), join Makenzie Oliver, microschool founder, VELA connector, and instructional coach, along with other founders, parents, and dreamers, as we connect, inspire, and progress through the challenges and celebrations of starting, running, and growing a microschool!

A new high school program in Oregon teaches students the ins and outs of seafood butchery and the state’s "blue economy." The program was in the pilot stage last year at six schools but has grown to 15 and now has a new curriculum that focuses on seafood caught in the Pacific Northwest. A major goal of the program was to get local seafood in the hands of students, as a study commissioned by the Oregon Coast Visitors Association found that 90% of Oregon-caught seafood is exported. Maggie Michaels is the program coordinator for the program. James Byrne is a science teacher at Clatskanie Middle and High School. Cora Evenson is a sophomore at the same school and took the class last year. They all join us to share more about what students are learning in the program.V

REAP Food Group calls the termination of the Local Food For Schools and Child Care program a “major blow” to Wisconsin. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is cutting two programs that provided about $1 billion in funding to schools and food banks to buy directly from local farms. That includes about $660 million this year for the Local Food for Schools program. Allison Pfaff Harris, Farm to School Director for REAP Food Group in Madison, says the termination is effective May 6. “The termination of the Local Food for Schools and Child Care (LFSCC) program is a major blow to not only schools and farms around Wisconsin, but schools and farms throughout the country,” she says. “Throughout my career, folks have asked me ‘How do we move local foods into schools?’. To me, it’s never been an issue of abundance or lack of interest by schools and farmers but a funding issue.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Providing pathways for today's young people who are going to be tomorrow's leaders is critical because we need them to be the problem solvers for us in the future. We have no alternative.” —Katherine Soll Today's food injustice weighs heavily on our global conscience, with millions suffering from hunger while others face the dire consequences of unhealthy diets. The involvement of youth is paramount in addressing this pressing issue, as they carry the power to challenge the status quo, champion sustainability, and demand equitable access to nutritious food for all.  Teens for Food Justice (TFFJ) is an organization that works to end food insecurity through school-based hydroponic farming. Students then learn to how to operate and maintain the farms through STEM classes and internships. This gives students access to fresh, healthy food and teaches them about sustainable food systems. The goal is to address the lack of access to nutritious food and educate youth to advocate for change. This week, Justine sits with TFFJ Founder and CEO, Katherine to Soll to discuss the pressing issue of addressing food justice through youth empowerment and access to education.  Listen in as they share impactful stories of how the program advocates for healthier food policies, plans for expansion, the importance of youth involvement and community engagement in addressing food injustice, the health impact of food insecurity on vulnerable communities, and more.    Meet Katherine:  Katherine Soll brings her lifelong and deep commitment to social justice and her belief in the power of young people to build a better and more equitable world in her role as Founder, CEO, and leader of Teens for Food Justice (TFFJ). By empowering youth as 21st-century urban farmers growing fresh produce for their schools, and as nutrition educator-advocates leading their communities to healthier futures, TFFJ's multi-faceted approach offers more than a technologically-advanced solution to affordable fresh food access in neighborhoods that need it most – TFFJ is laying the foundation for a sustainable youth-led social justice movement that can close huge gaps in food access, health, and opportunity between lower-and upper-income communities in NYC and beyond. Katherine has received various awards for her work in the nonprofit sector, including her selection as a 2021 AARP Purpose Prize Honoree. She has held high-level management and marketing roles in the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors throughout her career and serves on the advisory boards of various professional organizations, including the Food and Nutrition Innovation Council and the Healthy Living Coalition.
