Only 23% of K-12 educators in America are male, a gender gap that has serious ramifications for male students - who often face DISPROPORTIONATE disciplinary action. This podcast is for male educators who want to embody a necessary change in schools, via healthy social-emotional outcomes. Come away with actionable lesson plans, relatable stories, and a renewed purpose. The US Surgeon General says the mental health of our youth is the "crisis of our time." Male educators are uniquely positioned to address this - because real men teach. Join our community: "Advocates for Young Men" at Skool.com

#42 | Don't Ignore It: What a 30-day cleanse taught me about educators, self-care, and the state of our boys

I shed 30 pounds, and I’m feeling the best I’ve felt in a while. But it was 30 difficult days - of cravings, headaches, mood swings, brain fog, fatigue, you name it… But it was necessary, and it made me think, “What would that look like for our schools? Our school districts? Our educators and their classrooms?”

Our schools and our young people are struggling. Are we willing to go through the necessary growing pains?

(0:00) Class in session

(8:15) My 30-day plant-based detox, and shedding 30 pounds of waste

(15:30) Taking in the school board superintendent resignations and the budget shortages at school districts in the Bay Area

(19:55) Speaking at a church and telling the congregation some upsetting statistics about boys and young men, and about our upcoming Young Men’s Conference

(26:00) An invitation to contribute to your community in a way that is best for you
