* Gary,
Indiana is a struggling city, but full of amazing people.
* Showing trust to students
* Leading with trust - people want to give back trust when you give
it to them.
* It’s not as easy to build relationships as an admin than it is to
build relationships as a teacher.
* If you care about the students, they’ll do what you need them to
do.
* When you get frustrated, your care is the first to go away.
* Kids aren’t afraid of things happening in the school that make
them unsafe, they are likely afraid of things happening on the way
to or from school that make them feel unsafe.
* Resting vs. sleeping.
* Getting up at 3 am helps him be his best.
* Need to teach entrepreneurism to help US compete globally.
* The War of Art by Stephen
Pressfield
* College vs. Entrepreneurism.
*
College Bubble is going to Burst - College is a great chance to
mature, party, and have fun. If you want to go to college for an
actual education, you are overpaying.
* Entrepreneurism is not for everybody.
