  • Us & Them- the masks we wear

    Us & Them- the masks we wear
    Jan 28 2026

    In this episode, I recount some very personal experience about a creative relationship built upon with a "fictional" character created by a fellow artist. I fell for the "masked persona" and so did several others.

    There are some hard questions to ask yourself within this episode- can you live up to the persona you present to the world? Do you have the courage to reveal your authentic self? Can you back-up your reputation or do you hide behind excuses?

    This is a tough topic to face, but we all have to at some point.

    A more emotionally charged episode with some recounting of my own experience and catharsis.

    Brief synopsis: "Your creative mind is not bound by time or place"

    Consider that.

    Let me know what you think, let's have a conversation.

  • Making It Relatable

    Making It Relatable
    Jan 16 2026

    As a teacher, you are charged with many tasks- delivering information, testing, marking, monitoring class behaviour, and inspiring your students to want to learn.

    The last part is often the hardest; each student has their own learning needs and motivations so how do you as a teacher grab their attention, then retain it?

    By making your lessons relatable instead of treating your classes like a sermon! Here's a bit of what I do to do that.
