256: Stem Steam and Steame with Andrew Lochery
Andrew Lochery is the Founder and CEO of Phosphor, which provides teachers with tools and materials needed to deliver STEM Club activities for 9-13 year olds. After 16 years of teaching science, he found there was a problem with accessing high quality STEM resources that would help him inspire students and engage with STEM subjects – not just in the classroom, but in the world around them. These dynamic subjects are changing at an ever increasing rate, which traditional curriculums struggle to keep pace with. His mission is to provide time-poor teachers with STEM club materials and resources that are current, easy to deliver and most importantly fun for students!

252: Let’s Talk About Race with Dr. Nancy Dome
Renowned speaker, author, and equity consultant Dr. Nancy Dome co-founded Epoch Education in 2014 to provide leaders in education and business with accessible professional development in diversity, inclusion and belonging, and equity. As an educator for nearly three decades, Dr. Dome taught in the juvenile court and community schools and has served as a Distinguished Teacher in Residence and faculty member at California State University San Marcos. Her transformative approach helps school districts and educational agencies throughout the country navigate complex topics, build bridges, and work together for inclusive, impactful change.
The safest path can feel like the one without dialogue in conversations about equity and diversity. What if you offend the other person? What if they challenge your beliefs? What if you ruin a relationship?
When it comes to hard topics, effective communication skills are an asset, vulnerability is necessary, and forgiveness is vital. In Let’s Talk About Race (And Other Hard Things), communication expert and equity consultant Dr. Nancy Dome provides you with a framework to recognize feelings, interrupt flawed patterns, and repair relationships.
