When schools fail, it’s rarely because of one big mistake, it’s the daily choices, the silence, and the neglected culture that lead to collapse. In this episode, Kyle shares the story of a school facing a $4 million deficit and massive layoffs, unpacking how leadership missteps, poor board decisions, and toxic management companies create an environment where students, teachers, and parents all lose.
You’ll learn:
-
Why culture is created daily and how inaction speaks just as loudly as action.
-
The hidden consequences of broken trust between leaders, teachers, parents, and students.
-
Four anchors every school must secure to avoid financial and cultural disaster.
-
A real-world case study on how culture breakdown shows up long before the numbers do.
This episode is both a warning and a roadmap. If you’re a leader, board member, or educator, the question isn’t if you’re creating culture, it’s what kind of culture you’re creating.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
