Let's All Thank a Teacher
03/20/20 • 10 min
One of the impacts with the new normal due to the coronavirus is having our kids home from school past the normal March Break period.
Not only does this offer a unique situation for parents to deal with, but also teachers, as they come to the realization that they may not get to finish the school year with their kids.
After all, given they spend 7 hours a day, 5 days a week with our kids, it's only natural to have teachers look to their students as part of their family. Given the sadness many teachers are feeling at the moment, I thought it'd be nice to show our appreciation
Topics on today's show include
- Why teachers are such an important part of our lives
- How they can shape our most important decisions with what may seem a small action at the time
- Why a lot of the person we are today stems from our teachers
- Why it's important for us to share our gratitude
Settle back for a chat about the role teachers play in shaping the adults we become, and how you can offer your own thanks.

Being a Better Person in the Coronavirus Age
Being a good person is not a given - you can say all the stuff in the world about how good you are, and how you'll look out for those around you.
But if your actions don't back up your words, you'll never be anything other than the person that said so much and delivered little.
This is especially true with the current global coronavirus pandemic, and how people are selfishly reacting to that.
We don't have to be that person. We shouldn't be that person. Whether we are or not, though, comes down to one simple question: Do you want to be a better person, truly?
Topics on today's show include
- How our decisions when we're younger impact our future lives
- Why we need discipline in our lives
- How I could have been a very different - as in worse - person than I am today
- Why we need to come together as a community in these trying times
Settle back for a chat about actions being more effective than words, and why the world needs us all to be better people.
