In this episode of Integrate This!, David and Jeremy sit down with Greg Bagby — educator, consultant, and national edtech leader — to explore how failure can be one of the most powerful teaching and leadership tools.

Episode Highlights:

• Greg’s journey from music teacher to national influencer
• Why modeling failure builds trust and confidence
• Psychological safety and authentic leadership
• Strategic technology integration grounded in teaching
• Data privacy and ethical innovation in schools

Are we preparing students for a specific job, or for a life of intentionality? In this episode, we sit down with former high school math teacher-turned-administrator Marnie Stockman and tech-leader-turned-entrepreneur Nick Coniglio. As authors of "The Business of You," they share their powerful framework for helping students and educators move beyond traditional, and sometimes broken, career-readiness models. Instead of just "following a path," Marnie and Nick explain how to empower students to become the intentional CEO of their own lives. We discuss the common blind spots that trap students (and adults!), why personal storytelling is a critical, overlooked skill, and how educators can help students identify their core values to find a path that truly fits—even if it means moving from auto-tech to IT.
