Season 1 comes to a close with a conversation that reminds us why leadership matters.

In the Season 1 finale of Project: School Dad Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. William Hayes, CEO of Boys’ Latin of Philadelphia Charter School, for a powerful discussion on Leadership & Community.

Together, we explore what it means to lead with purpose, build communities rooted in trust, and create schools where every student has the opportunity to thrive. Great leadership isn’t measured by titles—it’s measured by the lives we influence, the relationships we cultivate, and the communities we strengthen.

This episode is a celebration of servant leadership, collective responsibility, and the belief that when schools and communities move together, students move further.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Season 1. This is only the beginning.

Episode 7 – Leadership & Community featuring Dr. William Hayes will be available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify this Thursday, July 2nd, 2026.

“I Am More Than My Sport”
Mental Health PSA: Sports Edition 🏆

Sports are often seen as a measure of performance, but they can also be a pathway to emotional wellness, resilience, and self-discovery.

In this edition, student-athletes from Boys Latin Charter School share how sports have shaped not only who they are as athletes, but who they are as young men. Their stories remind us that when youth are given a safe space to speak, they share wisdom, vulnerability, and strength beyond the game.

Our black and brown boys willingly and openly spoke their truth behind their experience because the space was created! We couldn’t capture it all but the dialogue and process was fulfilling. This is only the start of more healthy conversations to come☺️

Take a moment to listen—because every athlete has a story, and every voice deserves to be heard💚

I'm grateful to my doctoral cohort mates, my Barksdale, JPS, and KIPP ATL teams, and most importantly, my family for their incredible support. #EdDuversary #AnchorDown
