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



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.

Dr. Matthew Flippen is the Founder and President of Gracelyn University and a national thought leader in education transformation. With decades of experience alongside teachers, principals, and superintendents, he knows how one story, one conversation, can ignite real change.
Picture schools where educators lead with purpose, where challenges become opportunities for growth, and where students and communities thrive because their leaders are inspired by the right stories at the right time. That’s the vision behind Transformational Educators.
Every story matters. Whether you’re subscribing, nominating a guest, or partnering with Gracelyn, you’re joining a movement to raise up transformational educators across classrooms and communities.
