In this episode, former NBA assistant coach turned author Brett Gunning shares the leadership, life, and purpose-driven lessons he’s learned on and off the court — and how those insights led to his On The Right Path book series and curriculum.

From basketball to books, this conversation goes beyond the game and into what it really means to find direction, build character, and stay on the right path in life.

We talk about:

• Why talent alone isn’t enough for long-term success

• How coaching principles translate to leadership and everyday life

• What “being on the right path” actually looks like

• The mindset shifts Brett experienced moving from coaching to writing

• How his books and curriculum are helping students, athletes, and leaders

Brett’s work is used by educators, coaches, and families who care about developing purpose and character — not just performance.

Teaching children a foreign language is very dear to my heart, as I learned several languages myself. I have taught my children several languages, as well.

One of the tools in teaching foreign languages? Bilingual books. I have written some myself, and today I invite Heidy Espinosa Flores to tell us about her books, too.

The Coco-Nuts' Holiday Story Collection presents English and Spanish vocabulary in a story form, as this family of coconuts experiences Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas together.

Are you looking for an exciting, interactive workshop to teach your children about how a bill becomes law, how elections are organized, and how our government works? TeenPact is an amazing four-day program for teens (or one-day program for younger kids) during which they learn by immersion.

Every year, as part of TeenPact, your children will travel to your state capitol, tour the building, meet with legislators, and participate in mock elections and mock legislature.

In this podcast episode, I interview Sabrina Freeland, a dear friend of mine who coordinates TeenPact in Tennessee. I have entrusted Sabrina with my children for nine years. Every year, the kids grow and experience the TeenPact workhop differently, learning something new every time.

For more information and to find your state's program, visit www.teenpact.com.
