Be Like Dan...Ish

Welcome to the Inspired Teacher Podcast! In this episode, we look at the story of General Dan Sickles at Gettysburg—a leader who made a bold move that helped slow down the enemy, but came at a huge cost to his own men. Was it brave or reckless? We dig into that question and connect it to a powerful message from Admiral William McRaven's book The Wisdom of the Bullfrog. As teachers, we know we can't just play it safe all the time. We need to try new things and take smart risks—but always with care, knowing our students are counting on us. Let's talk about what it means to be bold, thoughtful, and growing right alongside our students.
