Forget the team-building games, icebreakers, and endless PD slides — this is the real back-to-school training every teacher needs but no one handed you.
In this episode, we’re joined by Jay from The Human Resource — an HR Practitioner who has seen exactly how districts build cases, protect bad leadership, and push teachers out without saying a word. Together, we’re breaking down how to survive the school year with your sanity, certification, and receipts intact.
We’re talking:
- What HR won’t tell you (but you need to know)
- How to document bullying, retaliation & gaslighting
- What to do if you're asked to resign
- Chapter 21 contracts explained in plain English
- The power of board policy & how to use it to fight back
- Why we built The School Truth Project — and how we’re helping teachers every day
Whether you’re a new teacher or a vet who’s seen some things, this is the episode you’ll wish you heard before Day 1.
Because the real danger isn’t what’s in the classroom — it’s what’s happening behind the scenes.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
