I stumbled upon your podcast and now I’m addicted. I’ve been a classroom teacher since 2006 and am now looking into the prospects of being an assistant principal for the upcoming school year. I love the format of your podcasts and am trying to absorb every bit of wisdom from you and your guests. I also thoroughly enjoy how you work your sports background in from time to time. Looking forward to more of your shows. Thank you.

The Assistant Principal Podcast | Listen Notes
I literally searched Spotify on a whim to see what was out there for assistant principals, and lo and behold found your podcast a few days ago.  I have literally been listening to you as I transition my office to my new school for the past three days.  I have already learned that my two main foci are keeping everybody safe and improving teachers (I favor the 5 minute coaching conversations).  Thank you so much for your work in providing assistant principals with your PPD for the AP (Podcast Professional Development for the Assistant Principal).😀
- Arcinko Smith, Elementary Assistant Principal

I took you into the interview with me and mentioned your podcast because I believe in giving credit where it's due. I wanted to thank you for what you've offered listeners who need your content and provide you with a simple testimonial to its effectiveness. Now, I'll try to follow your strategies as I move into a role you can only learn through doing.

I listen to your podcasts on my way to work as I just got promoted to a VP in July. Your podcasts motivate and reinspire me when I'm feeling overwhelmed or defeated... I appreciate what you do and listen, hear and put into practice all of your advice. Your guest speakers have been amazing. I’m learning daily! Thank you for being part of my morning drive and a major educator in my new position!
