In this episode, I address the complete and utter lack of focus on women and women's health care - primarily focused on menopause. It is about time WE take control of our bodies, our lives and our futures. And I am going to bring you with me along the journey of finding the right health care providers to educate and fight for our health.
In this episode, I face the horrific social media reality in the wake of the infamous 'your body, my choice' threat. In the dark basements of some incel, a man is plotting his next threat and possible attack. It's not free speech...it's criminal.

In this episode, I dress up as Frankenstein (I know it's the monster, but he will always be Frankenstein to me) and Ana puts on her best Bride for our annual Halloween Party. That's not the point of the podcast though. I paint my nails black for the character - and the severe gender dysphoria I have over painted nails, which I enjoy doing, is incredibly weird. So, as anything that makes me uncomfortable I immediately dive into to figure out 'why'.
In this episode, I attempt to answer a couple of age old teaching questions. One, what are the most vital things we are meant to teach? Two, when a student doesn't meet expectations what consequences will make them change their course?
In this episode, I recap what Metro Prep Academy did on Truth and Reconciliation Day. Spoiler Alert - the next generation will always do better than we did - just get out of their way.
In this episode, I jump into what real? Can't trust an email, a text message, a phone call...you can't trust what you hear or see across any medium. Now what? I guess it's time we met up in person, had a conversation and lived in the actual moment??
In this episode, I jump into the past...jump into the past to decide if perception matters more than fact. If you believe it to be true, does it matter if it isn't? And if you write the history books, can you solidify perception into fact?
In this episode, the FIRST of season 4, I jump right into the international student controversy within the halls of Canadian classrooms - both secondary and post secondary. The question I ask is simple - why aren't we building an educational system that can directly compete with student from all over the world so we become the centre of education? Answer - no one is willing to spend the money and would rather complain their kid, who has mastered all levels of Zelda, should have go...
In this episode, I dive into the muddy waters of censorship, oligarchies, rebellions and delusions. Which side do you think the billionaires fall on?
In this episode, I dive deep into the controversy surrounding Algeria's boxer and into the pool of sexism, bias and and the wide wide world of sport. Do you think it is time to create a fair playing field in sport? We are going to need a bigger boat.
In this episode, Ana Pac and I sit down to discuss the 2024 Summer Olympics - the opening ceremonies, the best events and the worst outfits. We also make some informed decisions on events we would be best suited to win.Ana Pac @HeyTeamAnaPacVlogs
In this episode, I jump into the world of running a school. Am I scared? Terrified? Nervous? Yes, to all of the above. Is it the best thing I have ever done? Again, yes.Let's see what kind of magic we can create.
In this episode, I discuss how you learn how to teach while you teach. If you aren't trying to learn and better yourself every single year then you have stopped teaching. The two are intrinsically connected.
In this episode, Ana and I discuss my trip in Ireland in which Ryan and I are taking 15 students on a historical trip! After she stops being mad at me for not taking her we then move on to discuss and analyze the new movie Inside Out 2.Please stand by for Irish content to come.
In this episode, Ana and get deep and discuss the force, her love of Anakin, the blame that lies at the feet of Yoda and the lesbian witches of The Acolyte. Is that enough for you?
In this episode, Ryan Seeley (New Principal of Metro) and i discuss how our history, friendship and ability to lip sych helped save Metro Prep. 23 years of him trying to get me into a school play (which he did) and me trying to get him to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer (which he hasn't) created the magic we needed to start Metro again.Stayed tuned for all the moments
In this episode, I get you all caught up in the trials and tribulations of saving the the school you believe in. Whether that means saving the name, creating a new one or grabbing a hold of a little piece of magic and making dreams comes true.What do you think will happen next?
In this episode, I take you on a trip to Niagara falls with 14 students (7/8s). Not only did this trip teach me about what kind of beautiful humans I teach BUT it also shed some light on the beautiful community of parents, teachers, administrators and students that I am about to build a brand new school with. You want to know my teaching ethos...you are going to have to watch the episode.Out of chaos comes a beautiful power.

Brilliant discussion. I do some subbing in the lower grades in schools in the US. This is exactly what I strive for-and when I volunteer in classes, making those relationships, finding how to get different students with different needs to understand the same material, with often very different approaches, is the most rewarding thing ever. It's why third graders I helped in kindergarten still run to get hugs. And now I wanna see the proposal!
