A lot has changed since the very first episode of Scholarly Sidetracks and it's time I update you all on my life! Episode one will give some background to the tales I spin in this episode, yet plenty is new to make this fresh! You will also get a preview of the Fantasy Conspiracy book I've released: The Ability to Change! Plenty in store!

Season 4 Kicks off with a traveling man: Travis Austin! Live production is quite the feat, there are lots of moving parts both of actual parts and of people! Travis will give us a glimpse of what all it takes to put on a large production such as Beetlejuice and all the pluses and minuses that come with it!

Hooray! Another Season Finale! We round out Season 3 with a Michael Winslow who has ventured in an education of music, teaching of music education, and eventually landing a position as a full blown Principal. Music is a powerful tool that can teach you many useful skills applicable to all things in life. Thanks to their diligence to improve, ability to work both solo and in an ensemble, and creativity in all they do, Mr. Winslow has built themselves a steady path toward, and onto, success. I think you'll enjoy the wise words they have for all of us, and I'll see you later for Season 4!

It often times feels rare to find someone who genuinely cares about students AND works in education. Perhaps more so when we look at Universities, but I PROMISE that Tracie is top notch when it comes to service and care for students. Their ideals are what keep me inspired to remain in the world of education, and I am very glad to share their story and wisdom with you all. Las Vegas and Student Success may seem like an unlikely pair, but you may be surprised to find good people are everywhere!

Some of us go with the flow, others travel up stream. Juwan is one who always keeps care of their wellbeing while working within the arts, which can be hard to do! It usually isn't easy to be an artist (and make money!) but what is considered success may look different from person to person. Whether you need someone's confidence to rub off on you, or you want to hear from a unique soul, Juwan is here to provide!

Though the US and England share some commonalities, Amy will show us that there are key differences when it comes to education across the pond. Then, being an international student in the US still comes with its scary moments and varied mysteries, but Amy's story will help show that it can all be worth it. We did make sure to include a discussion about beans on toast, so be sure to look forward to that part.

Our very first UPDATE episode! Olivia Culbert returns to share their ever-changing story within the Astronomical Sciences. Though it has only been a few months since they were last on the show, Olivia helps to showcase that life can change as quickly as you want! No longer satisfied with the future laid out before you? Mix it up! You can still have what is important to you, it just may look a little differently than initially expected.

The Greater Denver area has been fortunate to have an Amanda Williams at work to put its people first. I enjoy her ideals that even the more mundane jobs we all may have can still be of great service to others. From selling cosmetics to promoting the sciences and history of Colorado, Amanda has seen a great deal!
