Transformational Educators

Transformational Educators Podcast

Stories from education leaders who guided hurting campuses through transformation into places where all stakeholders flourish.

Why This Podcast Matters


External: Teachers and leaders are asked to do more with less, and schools often feel stuck in cycles of struggle.

Internal: Educators long for encouragement and clarity, but too often feel isolated and overwhelmed.

Philosophical: Education was never meant to be about endless tasks — it should be about purpose, calling, and what matters most.

Real Stories. Real Lessons. Real Change.

Each week, host Dr. Matthew Flippen sits down with educators and leaders who share their lived experiences of transformation. These conversations ignite hope, spark new ideas, and equip educators to lead with courage and clarity.
