Live April Events!

I'm doing two live events this month, and I invite you to join one or both of them.

AI Leader Office Hours

Come join us for special office hours with Lisa Parry from South Dakota. She's got some great stuff to share, and of course, we will take your questions and comments.

Plus, I've got a cool tool to share with you that just blew my mind when I discovered it the other day.

So many AI tools are either basic chat interfaces or highly complex developer environments.

I don't like that. So this one, Hunch, is pretty awesome, it allows you to create a workflow for repetitive tasks. Want to give feedback to a piece of writing in a specific way? All you have to do is upload it and voila, it's done.

Tuesday, April 15th at 1 pm Pacific. RSVP Here.

Big Impact Mixer

The Big Impact Mixer is a monthly get together for people who are wanting to make a big impact.

Last month, Aaron shared how to review how well your social posts are doing, and I got 36K impressions on my content this last weekend.

I tapped into a group where I knew they were and saw my posts get liked, shared, and commented on.

Thursday, April 17 at 10 am pacific. RSVP Here.

See you soon,
Jethro

P.S. Do you like my new template? It's pretty, isn't it?

April 29, 2026 Hi Reader I’d like to share something with you through the BE Podcast Network that’s been coming up often in my conversations with school and district leaders. One question keeps circling back. How can schools reduce chronic absenteeism in a way that helps students feel connected, supported, and eager to come to school? I’ve been paying close attention to the work Playworks is doing in this area, especially as more schools look for practical ways to improve attendance. Their...

April 29, 2026 Have you ever felt like a bad parent, even when you were doing everything you could? I know that feeling. In the fall of 2018, a doctor told me, “I would have operated on your daughter six months ago.” Hearing that was devastating. My oldest daughter had been complaining about knee pain for several months. We took her to a specialist in Fairbanks and he said there was nothing wrong. But I knew there was. Eventually, we found a specialist in Anchorage, and he saw her, but he...
