• 12:42
  Speaker 2: of us. We're going to support them.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, We've had a good long relationship with
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: Chabby and I think I even have some schools coming
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: up in the next half of the year that I'm
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: going to be going to through them. I think Maple
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: Street Schools. I'm not sure where that is in Vermont.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: I think southern Vermont to be honest with you, We've
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: just had a great relationship with the a number of
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: different Chevy So super exciting that that work gets to
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: be done and brought to these students.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: What is what is the what are you? What's your
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: title now? Is it the Community Ambassador or something like that?
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: What what Tom's like changing it all the time?
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't even know when I first started. I
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: think we made up the title or something. I think that, Yeah,
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: it's kind of more more into the community ambassador, you know.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: It's it came from this program that we've been starting
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: called the Community Ambassador program where he takes somebody like
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: myself or Pat Fish and we go to a local
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: school to us once a week and it's to help
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: build a circle culture to really just kind of take
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: the pressure off of teachers and counselors trying to do
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: the circle work where we can kind of show them
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: how to do it in a sustainable way. So that's
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: where I think, you know, that came from from the program.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: But I think it just fits really well with all
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: of the other things that I do in schools that
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: I go to, even if it's not a part of
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: a community ambassador program, being just a community ambassador to
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: each of the schools that we go to is a
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: pretty good overall title for what I actually do.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you Adam Harrith, the superintendent of OEESJ CSD,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: he just he thinks that you guys walk on water.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I love Adam. Him and I have become
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: pretty pretty good friends. He's the Yeah. I go to
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: his school oe s J once a week, so I'll
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: be there back on Friday. I was at their elementary
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: school last Friday. So I kind of go back and
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: forth between the high school, middle school down to the
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: elementary school. And we've just been just been some really
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: awesome stuff going on there, especially at the elementary level.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: We've had some you know, some of the sixth grade
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: and fifth grade. You know, it just seemed to be
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: pretty tough this year, but I've got to do a
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: lot of work with them in the circle, even even
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: just getting to spend some time in recess with them.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: You know, there's a lot of young young men that,
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: you know, I think just need somebody, especially maybe a male,
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: to just uh sit with them, hang out with them,
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: play play some games with them. And so we've been
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: it's been really really awesome. I love going to oe
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: s J. It's a it's a something I look forward
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: to throughout the week when I get to my Friday
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: visit to go see them. They're doing the school themselves,
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, Adam and they just got a in the
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: middle school. High school just got a new principal, Aaron Brady,
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: who's a wonderful, wonderful, very experienced principle and he he
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: really is for sweethearts and heroes and what we do.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: So that's really that's really been awesome. He's been kind
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: of getting integrated into everything there, and uh, I just
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: I love working with the staff there. The all of
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: the teachers that I meet are just very inquisitive and
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: asking questions like, hey, how can I do this? How
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: can I integrate you know, Circle into here? And so
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: it's just been it's been wonderful to work with the
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: team over there.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: We're chatting on Wednesdays with someone every Wednesday with someone
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: different from Sweethearts and Heroes, the number one youth leadership
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: team in America. You guys, uh, and of course this
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: is Josiah McKeon. You guys are confronting a lot of
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: heavy stuff like in schools and beyond, like hopelessness, bullying,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: youth suicide. These are really gigantic things, man, These are
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: freaking elephants. And you guys are kind of chipping away
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: at this with some inspiring program that transforms schools and
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: organizations to think differently and maybe kind of create a
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: different culture of in it addition to learning at school,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: but just bringing a different awareness, a different understanding of Yo,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: let's stop, take a deep breath. Beyond just learning the
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: core curriculum. We need to be better people. We need
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: to take a deep breath, take a step back, just
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: be better kids.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, man, And you know it's uh, sometimes I think
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: it's something that you know, if you're an adult, that's
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: you know, done, done some work and just self reflective
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: aspects and just looked at yourself and try to become
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: a better person. You know, I think sometimes it's it's
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: easy to take just having the simple but heavy conversations
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: for granted. You know, I think we go a lot
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: of times throughout our lives and we just don't talk
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: about things that are going on.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: And you know, you know, for instance, I was at
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: a school the other day and and you know, just
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: got to do I've been there quite a bit, so
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: I haven't done like a first time circle with a
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: group in a while. But happened to be a fourth
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: grade group that I hadn't done a circle with and
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: they were excited for me to come in. So I
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: just did a first time circle where I got to ask,
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: you know, are pretty traditional two questions of who's your
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: favorite superhero? And if you had a time machine, where
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: would you go? Or when would you go? And you know,
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: when I get to do a first time circle, uh,
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: it just it always reminds me of the fact that,
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: you know, kids just don't get to talk about certain things.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: It's not that they're necessarily told they're not allowed to,
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: it's that they don't. And as it went around, I
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: just you know, heard quite a bit of young people
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: have lost moms and dads and grandparents, brothers and sisters,
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: and you know some of the peers just flowed and
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: you know, uh, it's it's it's just not something we
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: talk about. And I learned this from my buddy Pat Fish,
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: you know, when I started training with him, and I
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: would go around and get a little heavy in circle,
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: you know, Pat, that would just be like, listen, you know,
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: we share all sorts of emotions in school. You know,
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: we get angry, you know, we might we might be
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: super happy, joyful, smile, funny, whatever, But some of the
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: more difficult emotions, you know, and he likes to call
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: him difficult because you know, they're not bad or native,
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: they're just difficult because we don't practice them in school
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: or really a lot of times anywhere. And so, you know,
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: as I've kind of progressed with getting hang out and
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: do lots of circles with students and just letting letting
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: students know, like, hey, you know, they're only difficult because
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: we don't practice them. Okay, to practice them, sure, And
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: so it's pretty incredible, man.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: When you're sitting in a circle of students. How many
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: are we're talking like what fifteen twenty?
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean It could really all depend I mean,
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: I've done circles with three or four kids in it,
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: but I've done circles up to you know, twenty five.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: You get past twenty and the emotional sharing just starts
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: to kind of drop. Oh wow, yeah, too big of
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: a group. It just it makes it difficult for people
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: to open up. The The real sweet spot is that
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: ten to fifteen number. It just gives you, especially if
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: you have like a forty minute class period, Yeah, you
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: go much above that. You're running into maybe getting through
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: one question and that's about it. Interesting and whatnot. So
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: the ten to fifteen ranges is really the great and
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: golden range. But you know, I've done ones with you know,
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: twenty five twenty eight kids in them, you know, because
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: it's a whole class. And that's.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you have that many kids together, you know,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: some are some are just love and life right now.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Things are going really well. Maybe they had a boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're doing well in school things, you're great in
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the home life, they're they're they're they're feeling good their
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: loving life. And then you got others that maybe are
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: carrying some some real weight and and there's some stuff
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: going on behind the scenes that that you don't know about,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: but but they get that that smile on the face.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's like, man, you you got a mix
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: of a ton of stuff. When you're sitting down in
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: a circle with with a bunch of kids like that,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I would imagine. But the the primary message I think
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: that you guys are are pushing is have some compassion,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: have some empathy, have some understanding for each other. If
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: you're the jock, think think differently about that kid in
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: the school who might be email yeah or kind of geeky,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: have some if you can't really find some relatability, at
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: least have some empathy and and some try to understand
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: that these are people just like you, man, who are
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: or in the same school as you, trying to do
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: the same things as you, and they want to be
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: happy and content with life and successful just like you.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man, that's that's that's kind of what
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: would run through my head if I was walking in
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: your shoes brother.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, man, one. I mean, you know, one of the
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: things that I've been doing a lot more recently in
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: my circles, especially towards the end, is you know, with
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: whatever comes up and whatever we talk about whether it
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: be funny, whether it be you know, just fun in general,
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: or maybe it's maybe it's a little heavier, bringing it
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: back to the fact of that we're all humans. And
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: I think that you know, it's easy to say, oh, yeah,
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: of course we're all we're all humans, but to really
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: take a step back and do just like what you
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: were talking about, and think about the fact that every
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: human being has their own hopes, dreams, aspirations, desires, fears.
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: Everybody has, you know, their own unique life force that
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: is driving them in this world. And you know, when
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: I get to the end of a circle and I
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: can bring it full circle back around to the fact
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: that hey, like, for instance, you know, I ask a
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: question like, what was your first what was the first
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: time you ever remember being afraid? You know, pat, And
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: I asked that quite a bit throughout some of the
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: different circles during Halloween, right, you know, these holidays give
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: us kind of some interesting and cool ends, right And
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: and this is where it really hit me. You know,
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: it started going around in some circles and and I
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: started listening, and you know, some of them were funny.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you remember the whole thing of
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: like momo, remember Momo.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: I do, I sure do.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I scared a lot of kids scared me. Yeah,
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: I remember seeing it one time. That's it, And yeah
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: it's freaky. But a lot of a lot of students,
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: especially in high school, like that was coming out when
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: they were they were little kids, and they remember or
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: even you know, I had this one young man talk
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: about how he was pretty young, but he's on a
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: little canoe trip on a big on a big lake
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: with with his dad, and this huge storm rolled in
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: and there was lightning everywhere. It was like striking the water,
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: and he thought he was gonna die. And it was
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: the first time he ever remembered being, you know, truly afraid,
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: you know. And and and as it was going around
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: in that circle, I'm listening and and it hits me,
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: you know a lot of times, like Pat myself, Tom,
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: we might relate circle to something that our ancestors did,
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: like sitting around a campfire, one person talk and everybody
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: else would just listen. And uh So what hit me
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: in in that moment was why do we why do
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: we tell scary stories around around a campfire? Like what's
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: the point of Like, I'm not a scary. I'm not
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: a scary story type of due, but I come to
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: a campfire, I'll sit down and listen to a scary story.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: It's like what we do. And and I started asking
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: myself this is it was going around a circle and
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: it gets this young man that talks about the lake
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: and and and it hit me, and I was like,
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: maybe we talk about scary stories around a circle because
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: it's a good marker of our humanity, like the fact
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: that we're all mortal, you know, the fact that we
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: all have the potential of of of passing away from
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: this world, you know, at any minute. And and this
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: fear that that that can grip us as human beings
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: because of that mortality. You know, if we were immortal
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: and we were invincible, you know, there'd be a lot
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: less things to be afraid, right sure. And uh, and
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: it just hit me, you know, like that's that's one
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: of the reasons we share that and that you know,
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: that's a that's a fear, and everybody's got some fears,
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: and you start talking about things that you hope for.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: Everybody's got some hope. I've been on this new kick,
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: and I'll try it again tomorrow and try it again
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: on Friday. But Christmas, it's Christmas time, right, and what
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: is the what does Christmas mean to you?
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: You know, honestly just all not to sound cliche, but
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: all I ever want to do on Christmas is just
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: sit on the couch with the family, watch movies, eat popcorn,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: maybe some sweets, and just watch Christmas movies with my kid,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: cuttle under a blanket, have a hot cup of something
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: and just be quiet. Man. It's like it. I mean,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of decorating going on in my house,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: which is a huge tradition. Charylyn has thousands of bins
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: up in the attic, possibly tens of thousands, and they
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: all come down and she starts decorating the day after
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving and she will still be decorating for Christmas after Christmas.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's it's a process you can only
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: you know, you can only decorate for two to three
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: hours every single day, and then you need to take
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: a break and pick it up the next day. So
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of decorating. The lighting in the house,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: there's you know, dim dim lights and Christmas lights all
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: over the ceiling and everything, and it just I just
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: want to be quiet, man, it's not about for me.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: It's just not about presents and gifts and stuff. I mean,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: it is for Lily, but I just I just want
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: to be with my family, maybe do some snowshoeing. That's
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: what Christmas is about for me.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: No, that's awesome, that's beautiful man. You know, it's something
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: I've been asking students more often because I never really
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: celebrate Christmas growing up. It was never a part of
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: what my family did. So I get to this time
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: of year, I really I really like to ask people.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: I like to ask students like, hey, what is it?
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: What is it about? You know, for you and you know,
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: because I didn't get to celebrate it grown up, but
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: I've done a good bit of you know, research on it,
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: the history of it and things like that. And this
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: is something I told a couple of students in a
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: circle the other day. But you know, from from doing
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: some research on it. You know, it came from this
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: you know, you know, as a Christian tradition. It came
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: from you know, this idea that this one guy who
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: was you know, came into the world two thousand years ago,
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: was gonna you know, fix everything in the world right
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: and and I started thinking on my way over to
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: a school what Christmas like, even though I don't celebrate,
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: Like what this time, you know, is about. And there's
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: one thing that popped in my head. Hope. You know,
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: whether you're religious or not, it's it's about hope. And
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: I started hearing some of that for some of these students,
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: you know, even if it's the hope of we get
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: two weeks are coming up, like I'm so excited about
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: the two weeks that we just get off and we
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: get to happy. And then you know, even for you know, teachers,
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: the same thing, like they're they're hopeful to get a
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: break themselves. But then even like the hope of getting
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: to see family members that you don't usually get to see.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: I heard that a lot from students. You know, I
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: don't get to see my cousins all the time, but
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: Christmas time, I get to see them, and you know,
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: it's hope, hold on. Possibilities exist. And I think for
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: me that the time of Christmas comes at one of
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: the most difficult times in the Northern Hemisphere for a
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: lot of people, when it gets real cold and really
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: snowy and you're locked in much more, you get way
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: less vitamin D, And I think it's a time to
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: reflect on hope and all the possibilities that do exist,
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: to be with family and to put up the decorations
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: and and and enjoy doing that. Like I think, I
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: think it's incredible. And I think that, you know, I
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: meet a lot of students this time of year where
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: they don't have much hope because they don't get much
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: time with family, and if they do get a lot
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: of time with their family, that sometimes their family is
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: just absolutely awful to be around. Yeah, but I still
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: believe that, you know, as a community, you know, and
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: as human beings, we can try to give as much
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: hope as we can to those people as well during
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: this season. You know, whether it is giving or whether
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: it's just simply speaking a kind word and giving them
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: that possibility to hold on to that you know, they
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: are worth something, they are being you know.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Hope is. It's a powerful, powerful word. And I've had
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: conversations with with Tom and Rick even off the air
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: about hope and we'll get into it. I'll get into
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: it with those boys at some point. But hold on,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: possibilities exist. It's an acronym that that Tom and Rick
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: at all of you have kind of crafted empathy action.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: These are also dare I say buzzwords that Sweethearts and
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Heroes hanks their hat on. These are really really powerful
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: things that you guys bring to schools. And I want
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: to talk about stop drop and roll the bullying presentation.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: And you guys have just been in a whole bunch
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: of schools right around Central from Aunt Warren, Waitesfield Fasting
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: just in the last couple of days bringing your message
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: there to those schools. But we're getting to question here,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: what's the best way to refer schools in need of
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: the Sweethearts and Heroes program.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: To refer like to get us in their schools. Yes,
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: so definitely the best way would be, you know, through
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: our website Sweethearts and Heroes dot com and you can
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: find emails on there for somebody like Winton Buddington, he
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: does a lot of our scheduling, Tom's person or you
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: know Sweethearts and Heroes emails on there. Brian McKeon, my brother,
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: He takes in a number of referrals, So that would
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: be definitely the best way is to send them over
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: to the website and have them, you know, look at
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: the stuff the neat thing about the website is is
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: we have a lot put into there for schools to
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: look at and for schools to do a little bit
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: of diving into to see if it really is something
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: they want. I mean, we would say every school in
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: America needs this, but you know, the school itself has
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: to kind of has to choose that for themselves. But
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: the website would be the number one way that I
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: would recommend people kind of give our information out for sure.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: And then you've got this brave leadership team system. Talk
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: about you know, and I'm guessing Tom's the brainchild to this,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but I mean, you talk about a
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: way to sustain the great messaging that you guys are
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: bringing into schools where you're you're actually training, you're teaching
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: kids to kind of do what you guys are doing,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: so that when you're not there, sweetheart scenarios is still
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: having a consistent impact on students.
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, that's that's really the ultimate goal. Right. It's
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: easy to to go into a school and give a
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: presentation and then leave, right, but to have the students
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: become equipped, the teachers become equipped to carry on the
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: principles and the just the great axioms of sweethearts and
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: heroes is really the key, and so like that's what
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: myself and Pat Fish do a lot of the Braves program,
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: you know, first started out as a six week program
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: that was designed to give schools a little bit more
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: after the presentation. So we've always you know, we've done
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: our circles right, and that's a route that schools can
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: go and have us come in and do a couple
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: of circle visits. But you know, as it was before
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: my time, but probably seven or eight years ago, a
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: lot of schools were asking, hey, like these bully drills
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: are fantastic, but how do we implement them? Like what
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: like like you did such a great job, Tom, but
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: how do we how do we implement them? And that's
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: where Tom you know, really started to work out this
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: Brave six week program and then Pat Fish actually it
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: was handed to him kind of to make it better.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: And so you know, really for the last five or
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: six years, you know, I think Pat's been really working
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: on that and it's it's this turned into a teaser
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: program for our Braves classes. Yeah, oh that's like that's
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: where we've had to now, right, So I go in
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: and do a lot of Teaser Brave six week programs
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: where you take older students. Typically they can be from
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: high school all the way down to upper elementary. Like
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: I'm in a school right now where I'm taking fifth
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: graders down to first graders and we sit with them
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: for a day. We train them on what leadership is,
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: on the fact that they have influence in their school,
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: especially when they go down to these younger grade levels
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: because they're the cool older kid. But we train them
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: to have some fun with them, do little tiny mini circles,
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: what we call hero huddles where they get to know
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: the students and get to have some real discussions, and
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: then they move into practicing bully drills. And ultimately, at
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: the end of the little sessions we have with the
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: younger students, we get to show our bully drills off.
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: They're like little skits, and then we get to rewind
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: the tape talk about what happened in them, and that's
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: where the real magic happens. We get to have a conversation,
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: you know, oh, what was the bully doing, Like, how
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: are they bullying them?
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: They were making fun of their clothes. Is that something
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: that somebody could get bully for? Yeah, that's something that
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: somebody could get bully for. Maybe that's their only pair
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: of clothes that they have, and yeah, they smell, but
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: that's all they have. But they get picked on every
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: single day because they're wearing the same clothes. And that's
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: where the magic gets to happen. You get to have
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: those conversations, and ultimately, by the six weeks the end
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: of it, the older students are running everything. So I
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: go in and run the first part of it and
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: show them how to do it. But then they should
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: be able to go down without me around, and really
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: hopefully without an adult around, go down and run this
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: program by themselves, and that will then lead them into
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: hopefully their school the following year starting a Braves class,
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: which is a year long accredited class that we bring
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: into schools and we by way of Champion Teachers, so
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: we give the curriculum through this platform that we've partnered
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: with called Thrively. We give them the curriculum and the
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: teachers become Champion teachers and they teach this year long
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: class where they learn much more of the nuts and
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: bolts of leadership, of circle, of these bully drills of play,
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: and how how important play is for the development of
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: human beings. Uh, so they learn it's probably you know,
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: you know, he is my brother, Brian, but he's he's
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: done most of the work on that, and it's probably
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: just the only type of course of its kind. And
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: it's phenomenal, you guys.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: I have learned so much from from you and and
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Brian and and Pat. You know, one of the conversations
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: that all three of us have had is is about
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: defining what, what what bullying is and the the feelings
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: that are are that are associated with it. And man,
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: there is so much gray area with this and just
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: that does a fine line between I mean, goofing around,
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: joking around being immature, but also maybe saying something or
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: doing something that you're not even aware of that is
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: making that other student feel uncomfortable or or threatened. But
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: it's not always taking the shape of you know, out
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: on the playground or at the bus stop, you know,
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: pulling someone's hair or a spitball, you know, the classic
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: stuff that we all know, or beating somebody up at
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: you know, after school or whatever. It's not it doesn't
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: always take that shape, bro, and you guys do such
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: a great job breaking it down, and I I just
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: have to wonder how many students have said to themselves,
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I never thought of that way. Maybe
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: maybe I'm bullying someone. Maybe I'm a bully. I never
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: thought of it that way. Am I a bully? Am I?
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Am I treating this person like a bully? And only
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: they can ask that question, answer that question and change.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: I just wonder how many bullies you guys have had
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: in your bully training. Well, I mean, we're talking about
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: and a half two and a half million students across
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: New England in Canada that you guys have brought this stop,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Drop and Roll bullying program to over the last sixteen years.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: There's got to be a good number in there.
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent, especially when you're talking about you know,
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: the presentations themselves, you know, and and you know I
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: I I uh do often wonder, you know, if if
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: if I was a bully sitting it through that presentation,
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: how I would feel?
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: It would be pretty you know, if it if it
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: hit me right? You know one of the things, you know,
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: the fourth thing about bullying is happens on purpose. But
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: you know, I think something that can that can happen
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: on purpose, you may still feel justified in doing it,
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: you know, for one reason or the other. Uh and
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: uh and so to sit through you know, that presentation
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: and then and then likewise, you know, sometimes we get students,
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: even in our six week programs that you know, it's
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: it's difficult quote for me to say definitively because I haven't.
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: I haven't necessarily, I don't walk the halls to the
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: school and see it every day, right, But you know
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: that would that I would, I would probably say, oh,
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: it could be borderline, you know, that they might be
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: bullying that individual. I'm thinking of one specific group and
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: there's this one young man that's you know, in it,
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: and any any chance anybody has to call him out
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: or to to kind of go after him, they do
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: and uh and and so it it does happen. And
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: I think, but what you're hitting on is is important
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: sometimes that self realization that oh I'm I'm I'm being
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: a bully. Yeah. I don't know that I've ever even
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: thought about it that way, but it's a good perspective
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: to have, you know, because as I'm thinking, you know,
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: there are times in my life where you know, you
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: treat somebody a certain way because either they did something
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: to you or you know whatever, and and and you
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: end up having these long time you know, grudges towards
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: them and even family members, you know, And I don't know,
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: you know it could it be necessarily considered bullying. It depends.
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: It's got to have those four things that make up bullying.
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: It's got to be mean or scary. It's got to
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: happen over and over again. It's gotta make the person
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: feel on the insights smaller or weaker. It's got to
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: happen on purpose. But you know, humans are pretty easily
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: deceived by themselves, and uh, yeah, it'd be it would be. Uh,
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: I don't I don't know how you'd ever find that
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: statistic of the amount of you know, bullies that have
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: through a presentation, you know, and and thought that, But
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: it's an interesting number to wonder about.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the rest of you? Guys have have been
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: so busy this school year and here we are into
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: Christmas break. What's the what's this week looking like for you?
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: What is Josiah McKeon going to be doing rest of
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: this week and maybe next?
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: So this week I was just in Warsaw, New York yesterday.
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: Today I'm headed down to Hastings on Hudson, which is
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: all the way down by the Bronx and Yonkers. So
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: I'll be there tomorrow finishing up actually one of these
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: six week Braves programs with their tenth graders going down
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: to these third graders, and they've just been an absolutely
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: phenomenal group, absolutely incredible. I tell them every time I
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: go down there, I say, you guys are amazing. You're
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: one of my favorites. And they're like, you told us
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: to everybody was like, Okay, you can believe that, but
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: you guys really are doing just incredible job and they're
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: they're just focused and they understand why they're doing it,
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: because that bullying situation could be the last straw for
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: that person's hope and and that's really why we need
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: to jump into action within those ten seconds. And then
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: I'm end of my week at at oesj as I
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: always do it on Fridays. I think they have a
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: pep rally, which is pretty cool at the end of
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: the day because that's their last day until break and
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: and it actually is my last day until break as well.
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: I will be taking my wife and family down to
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: visit her down to North Carolina. After that so.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome, man.
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: You know, so it's gonna be a good week.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, have you You and I've chatted a little bit
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: about this in the past, but have you recently have
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: have any of these schools or students or experiences taking
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: you a little bit out of your comfort zone unexpected.
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: Every day, especially especially you know yesterday, you know, just
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: working with some fifth graders, and and uh you know
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: I I I tend to as a human being, get
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: frustrated quite easily, get angry, quite quite easily. And uh
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: I worked very hard in my professional life and in
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: my personal life to overcome that. Last week though with
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: some some of these fifth graders. You know, my I'm
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: gonna say I got short with them. My short with
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: them in a professional sense is is is not not
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: very bad, but but it's it's bad for my heart.
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: And so you know, I was sitting down with them
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: yesterday in a little bit of a circle before we
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: took them down to the first graders, and we were
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: chatting about some things, and you know, just was on
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: my heart to apologize to the whole group. So I
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: just looked them and said, hey, you know, I'm sorry
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: that I got short with you last week, and a
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: couple of them gave me like, a, I don't remember
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: you being short, And I was like, you might not
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: think I was short with you, but I was short
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: with you in my heart. I was getting I was
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: getting a little fed up. And I just looked at them.
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: I said, you know, you guys might get that quite
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: a bit in your lives, and that's not my that's
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: not my role here. My role here is to be
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: here for you, guys, and to show you patience and
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: to show you the things that we are looking for
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: you guys to do for these first graders, because it's
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: tough for fifth grade going down the first grade, and
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: you know, fifth grader's got a lot going on, and
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: they're trying to go down and wrangle these you know,
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: fifth graders to get them into you know, spots to
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: perform bully drills in this, and then and they get
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: frustrated and they get short with these first graders, and
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: and and if we're gonna, if we're gonna change the
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: world as adults and then eventually as these students, it starts.
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: It starts right here. Because we can't we can't, we
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: can't encourage anybody to do better if we're not training
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: better every single day. So I just got to share
• 52:21
  Speaker 5: that with them. And you know, the their their their
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: attention span is is difficult and they're always talking. I
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: can never get three words out. But you know, after
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: apologizing to them, they were just locked in. We had
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: a great conversation. They did a wonderful job going down
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: to the first graders and just extremely impressed with them.
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: But they they they just need some vulnerability from us adults.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Too, And yeah, gosh, I've had that experience with with
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: Lily before and it's yeah, yeah, tumbling really is you
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: know it. The other Monday, when I was over at
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: Cody Chevrolet and got a chance to spend some time
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: with Rick and Tom, and Rick was signing his book
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: A Bridge named Amos, and meeting the crowd over there
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: and chatting with these guys and having some laughs but
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: also asking them, you know, and especially Rick was talking
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: about hope. It can take on so many different forms,
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: lack of hope. That's what I'm talking about. What do
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: you say to someone Let's take you out of the
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: school right now as we wrap up, what do you
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: say to someone, Josiah, including yourself, who might be experiencing,
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: especially during the holidays. Man, there's so much crap going on.
• 54:08
  Speaker 5: Bro.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: Who might be experiencing a pinch of hopelessness, depression, anxiety, resentment,
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: some of these heavy things. I can't wait for the
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: damn holidays to be over with. You know, what do
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: you say to somebody who's walking around angry right now,
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: chip on the shoulder, not feeling the spirit of the season,
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: and maybe discouraged.
• 54:46
  Speaker 5: That's a great question, honestly, man. Only one thing really
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: comes to my mind, and it's it's something that that
• 54:55
  Speaker 5: I have to do every single day and and and
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: work hard at. But UH is to carry that spirit
• 55:01
  Speaker 5: from the previous holiday over of thankfulness and uh and
• 55:07
  Speaker 5: and and and pause and just think about all the
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: different things that you can be thankful for, even if
• 55:16
  Speaker 5: they're really small, but naming them out loud.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: I I personally I think that Uh. You know, I
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: guess I'm a little bullheaded in this. I I'll tell myself, dude,
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: I'm not willing to be that person. I'm not willing
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: to do it. I've been that person before. I know
• 55:40
  Speaker 5: people that struggle with that, and and and and I
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: want to do better, not just for my family, but
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: for for all those around me. So I I just
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: kind of I forced myself, Okay, come on, time to
• 55:53
  Speaker 5: be thankful. What are you thankful for? Even if even
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: if it's I'm just thankful the day is over, It's
• 56:00
  Speaker 5: okay time, Right, they go down and and uh, you know,
• 56:07
  Speaker 5: we they go down to these first graders and and
• 56:10
  Speaker 5: they're just like ah, and we ask them, you know, hey,
• 56:14
  Speaker 5: well you know, what's what's something that went really well?
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: Even if you're just glad it's over, Like, what's something
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: you're thankful for? So I don't know that would be
• 56:24
  Speaker 5: my thing, you know, during the season, as if keep
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: carrying that. I'm working on being thankful, even if it's
• 56:31
  Speaker 5: just one thing a day. You think, thankfulness gratefulness is
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: one of the best cures to to almost any negative
• 56:45
  Speaker 5: thing that we're experiencing our lives, especially especially when you
• 56:48
  Speaker 5: feel like you don't have much to be thankful for.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Sure. Yeah, it's not easy, bro, it's not.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: I I love having you on and I can't wait
• 57:02
