Culture Minute: You Matter More Than You Think

Culture Minute: You Matter More Than You Think

This one is for the students. We spend most of our time talking to the parents and directors about the students , but now it is time to speak to you directly. This is for the nervous new kid, or even the nervous vet. Now matter where you land on the totem poll here, I want you to know that you absolutely matter here. You may have convinced yourself that you are just one person in a sea of others, but, you do matter. Culture is built one person at a time... not with crowds. Please listen and follow along for more. I aim to post these culture minutes multiple times per week.

This episode is about giving dads permission to care deeply, to be proud, to be emotional, and to embrace the journey right alongside their kids. Because one day, there will be a last parade... and you'll never wish you had cared less.
