What an incredible episode. I was able to interview sisters who one is a freshman and the other is a senior class of 2021. The perspectives from a student how has spent time in the classroom and virtual due to covid, and a student who has only spent her time in student leadership online is mind blowing. I will let the episode speak for itself!! Enjoy!
So you may have noticed we took a couple weeks off from producing the podcast. I put into practice what I try to preach, that self care isn't selfish, and taking a break isn't being lazy.  We took a few weeks to rest and reset. But we are now back and ready to rock!! BUT I NEED YOUR HELP!!! We are looking for advisors or leaders (student or otherwise) to be guests on the podcast! I will say it again, no story is too small. Everyone's journey has something unique that will help someone. If you know of anyone who would be a great fit, or if you yourself want to chat with me for an hour, shoot me a message on instagram, or send me an email at kate@kategarnes.com We also want to talk about what you want to hear! Is there a topic you want to us to dive deeper on, or that we haven't touched on yet? We want to hear it!! Please reach out at the email above!!
Jason King is an SCA Advisor and math teacher at Freedom High School in South Riding Virginia.  I LOVED this conversation, because we were able to pull back the curtain a little bit and take a peek into some of the insecurities and hard choices of being an advisor. It isn't all pep rallys and homecomings. Sometimes we have to have the hard conversations, and lead our students through the let downs of high school life. This is not a conversation you want to miss!!

So this episode is a little bit different, as I don't have a guest with me!!  I have been wanting to serve you and your students even more that just with the podcast, but I knew that meant going out of my comfort zone and creating something virtual. So that's exactly what I did.  The course that you've been waiting for is here!! What kind of leader will we become when we really embrace who we are? How will it change our leadership when we actually love the person we are inside, and serve from a place of empathy and love? This is the course to help answer those questions. It is designed for you and your student leaders to walk through together.  This is the Ripples of Influence.  GET THE COURSE HERE!  https://kategarnes.gurucan.com/
Malorie Bournazian is one of the winners of the 2018 Digital4Good Summit, and honestly, a really cool lady!

She shares her story of how losing her mom could have stiffled her, but instead steadied her to help leaders learn to use your story and circumstances for good!  Learn more about #ICANHELP: https://www.icanhelp.net/ Follow Malorie: https://www.instagram.com/icanhelpofficial/?hl=en

Shane Gibson is the personal finance, music business and leadership teacher at Sierra Vista High School in Las Vegas, Nevada. Like so many of us, Shane did not expect to become a teacher.

He uses the things he learned as a manager and a DJ to helps shift the way his students view leadership. We also dive deep into what teachers are really facing during this uncertain time, and how to emotionally stay healthy... or as healthy as we can.  Follow Shane and his Council on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leothelionsvhs/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/svbeatsmusic/?hl=en Keep up with the podcast: https://www.instagram.com/theleadershipadvisorpodcast/ Follow Kate: https://www.instagram.com/kategarneslive/ Learn More about Kate: http://www.kategarnes.com
Brad Odice was the English teacher at Highlands Ranch High School in Colorado and just helped out with student leadership on the side. Then he was asked to step in the Leadership teacher role, filling the incredibly big shoes of his predecessor. This could be intimidating for anyone, but Brad has handled it with grace and strength.
