  • EP154: Disruption, Belonging & Better School Communication
    Dec 9 2025

    Interview with Ben Sacco / Author of "Disruption in Schools: Understand me Before You Mark me"

    HOSTED BY PAUL SULLIVAN

    How do we really know what our kids are trying to tell us - even when they can’t put it into words? Ben Sacco, author of Disruption in Schools: Understand Me Before You Mark Me, reframes how we think about classroom behavior. He explains why “disruption” is often a sign of adversity - not misbehavior - and how parents can spot the real signals beneath a child’s shutdowns, boredom, or the classic “school was good” response. Ben also shares practical strategies for recognizing when behavior is actually communication, helping parents and teachers respond with clarity, compassion, and consistency.

    Nov 25 2025

    Interview with David Homan / Founder of Orchestrated Connecting

    HOSTED BY PAUL SULLIVAN

    What if the secret to strong parent communities isn’t perfection, but integrity, vulnerability, and follow-through? David Holman is the author of Orchestrating Connection and founder of a decade-old community built on one rule: only surround yourself with people you’d trust to watch your kids. As a divorced father of two, David shares how vulnerability can actually build confidence, especially for dads who feel pressure to “know it all.” He opens up about support networks, single fatherhood, follow-up etiquette, and the lessons he learned from a dad who always showed up.

  • EP152: How Inner Alignment Can Redefine Success
    Nov 11 2025

    Interview with Erin Coupe / Author of "I Can Fit That In"

    HOSTED BY PAUL SULLIVAN

    When Erin Coupe’s husband decided to leave a thriving real estate career to support her growing business, their family dynamic - and their definition of success - changed forever. Erin, a global speaker and author of the book I Can Fit That In, helps high performers move from self-sabotage to self-leadership through neuroscience, mindset mastery, and authentic living. She explains how rewriting the stories we tell ourselves, designing daily rituals that fuel purpose, and creating lives rooted in conscious choice can lead to a deeper, more sustainable kind of success - one that starts from within and radiates through your work, your family, and your leadership.
