Alter|Ego

Mae Lawson Castro is an educator/teacher in one of the most prestigious schools in America. A Canadian living and working in the U.S. She teaches math (and also music), coaches volleyball. We talked about school shootings and what they as teachers are doing in the event that such incidents happen to safeguard and protect not only themselves but more importantly their students. What her take is on teachers carrying guns. We also discussed the current Democratic Primaries, social media, the cancel culture, A little Trump, a bit of Trudeau and a slice of Duterte. The struggles of being an educator in the public school system ultimately proving the fact that being a teacher is one if not the most undervalued, underappreciated, grossly underpaid profession.

In this episode of Alter|Ego, Founder of Warrior Leadership Kevin Padillo takes us through his amazing journey of self discovery - from a promising young boy to his dangerous and violent run with a gang and being in and out of prison for 5 years…all before he was 16. He spoke about how he went from being on 23.5 hour lockup kept separate from other inmates to inspiring young offenders and standing in front of hundreds of staff and inmates to touch their own mission in life. Reformed, enlightened and driven, he now brings his message to the world inspiring young leaders and entrepreneurs.
