FranklinCovey Education Launches Three Education Podcasts for Administrators, Educators and Students

Change Starts Here, The Empowering Teacher, and Realiteen Talks

FranklinCovey Education today announced the launch of three educational podcasts, Change Starts Here, hosted by Dustin Odham, FranklinCovey Education Managing Director, The Empowering Teacher, hosted by Molly Garcia, FranklinCovey Education Coach, and Realiteen Talks, hosted by Gary McGuey, FranklinCovey Education’s High School Practice Leader and a cohort of high school students. The podcasts were created to provide administrators, educators, and students with inspiring interviews and powerful, life-changing content for personal and professional application.

The Change Starts Here podcast provides content to current and future educational leaders that aligns with the paradigm, ‘greatness is everywhere’ — it exists within their administration, within them, within their students, and in families and communities. The weekly podcast guests join together with the host and audience to learn how to unleash every person’s human potential more powerfully, every day. The podcast releases every Tuesday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple and wherever podcasts are available.

Dustin Odham is a former veteran educator, school and district innovation director, and turnaround specialist. He currently leads several teams across the U.S. and Canada serving school administrators, teachers, staff members, students, and their families by providing them with FranklinCovey Education solutions. Odham is a former Teacher of the Year and Executive Director of Teach for America, where he directed more than 200 teachers impacting the lives of thousands of students in St. Louis, Mo. Prior to joining FranklinCovey, he was a senior advisor to superintendents and principals, creating strategies to improve school performance and increase educator impact and student achievement. Part of Odham's personal mission statement is to make a positive and lasting impact in the life of every person he meets, every single day. He has spent his career helping to unleash greatness in everyone he is privileged to work with and for.

Dustin Odham, FranklinCovey Education Managing Director, said, “I’m so pleased and honored to be the host of our Change Starts Here podcast, which we’ve created for educators who want to learn, lead, serve, inspire and perform in extraordinary ways. ‘Change starts here’ means transformation starts from the inside-out. And interviews with our guests inspire that change, whether you are motivated to adopt the practices you’re hearing about, or you decide to do the exact opposite. Change starts with each individual, in the classroom and in their personal lives, every day. I hope this podcast is a force for that lasting change for anyone who tunes in.”
