EPISODE 333

Real talk: The state of our profession has me worried

Biggest Takeaways You Don't Want to Miss:
  • Sadly, most educators don’t even believe in 54% success right now, let alone 100%.
  • The biggest danger in education right now isn’t policy or politics; It’s the quiet erosion of our belief in possibility.
  • If we don't believe in 100% student success, we’re not educating students, we're merely sorting them. 
  • As a profession, education has slipped from self-actualization back into survival and it’s costing us our creativity.
  • Too many schools are playing defense trying to hold onto what little gains they have, instead of playing offense and fighting for 100% student success. 

This isn’t a typical episode about frameworks or strategies. Instead, I’m stepping back to talk honestly about what I see happening in our profession right now—and why it has me concerned.

There are quiet forces at work, shaping how we think, how we create, and even what we believe is possible.

In this episode, I share the patterns I’ve been noticing, why they matter, and what we can do to resist slipping into survival mode and protect the space for possibility, creativity, and a belief in 100% #LikeABuilder.

Check out these highlights:
  • The subtle shift that’s quietly killing your creativity right now.
  • Why holding on to 100% belief matters more now—and why it feels harder than ever.
  • How to get back to the work we love.
  • Why I think we’re not seeing many new ideas in education right now (and what that says about us)
  • The overlooked reason your vision may feel stalled.
  • The biggest threat facing our profession today—and it’s probably not what you think.
