Season 4, Episode 2 – “The Last Time”

Graduation season has a way of hitting the heart. In this episode, Joe and Al reflect on graduation speeches and the powerful idea of “the last time.” For some parents, this moment marks the last school pickup, the last concert, the last game from the stands.

Season 4 starts with a conversation every educator, parent, and leader needs to hear. In this episode, we dive into the idea of “hulking fixing”—that instinct to swoop in, solve the problem, and move on—often with the best intentions. But what happens when fixing isn’t what kids actually need?

We reflect on the students who have changed us, shaped our leadership, and reminded us why relationships always come first. From moments of humility to lessons learned the hard way, this episode challenges us to slow down, listen more, and recognize that sometimes the growth happens in the struggle—not the solution.

If you’ve ever caught yourself trying to fix instead of understand, this one’s for you.

🎧 Welcome to Season 4. Let’s go.
