Millions of students across the US and the world are currently unable to read at or above grade level.

We are witnessing a massive disconnect between a 100 year old industrial education model and the actual needs of our children.

But what if we knew exactly why this was the case and had a blueprint for how to solve it?

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Dr. Caprice Young, a transformational education leader and the CEO and Superintendent of Navigator Schools.

With more than 20 years of experience in public education, Caprice is a former president of the Los Angeles School Board, and in this essential conversation, we explore the powerful framework that has enabled her schools to consistently achieve student scores three to six times as high as their neighbors.

If you are a parent, a teacher, or someone who is ready to apply a highly successful model of transformation to secure the future for our children, this episode is a must-listen.

How do you solve an impossible problem?

For most of us, when we hit this kind of barrier, we struggle to make our way over it. But what if you could train your brain to see everything as a puzzle that’s just waiting to be solved?

That’s exactly what we’re exploring on today’s show with my guest, Jeffery Potvin.

Jeffery is the CEO of the AI infrastructure company Arc Compute and an investor in over 100 companies, with more than 10 successful exits.

He is a master problem-solver who, since he was a kid, has looked at the world very differently than most. You’re not only going to hear how a literal “car crash” forced him to reset his entire life, but we are also going to break down his exact framework for solving any problem.

We communicate constantly, but many of us are trapped in a cycle of overthinking, creating worst-case scenarios in our minds that simply do not exist.

Today’s guest on The Edge of Possible, Mark Setch, has spent over 5,000 hours coaching leaders to break free from these mental wars and find their true purpose.

Mark is an ICF Master Certified Coach and the Coaching and MBA Course Leader at ACAP University College in Australia.

He has lived the journey of authenticity not just once, but multiple times, walking away from a successful accounting career to become a pastor, and then leaving 33 years of ministry to become a leader in the coaching world.

In this conversation, we are breaking down the exact playbook for finding your authentic path.

We talk about how to stop being a "serial overthinker" , the questions to ask to get clear on your purpose, and the powerful lessons from his 31-year marriage and why having the "hard conversations" are the secret to a deep, lasting love.

We live in a world that is moving faster than ever. The pressure to keep up, to achieve, and to look like we have it all together for our families and our teams is immense.

And it can often lead to burnout and a life spent constantly chasing the next thing, only to feel like we are still not enough.

Today's guest knows this pressure intimately. Caleb Campbell was once known as “America’s Athlete". A West Point graduate, an Army officer, and an NFL linebacker, he had built a seemingly perfect life: the ultimate scaffolding of success.

But in an instant, a sudden policy change erased his NFL dream, and that entire scaffolding collapsed.

In this conversation, Caleb shares how to view burnout not as a dead end, but as a powerful invitation for growth. We explore how to stop building our lives on the back of willpower and instead learn to "rest in the river," unlocking the conviction needed to move from a life of survival to one of true purpose.

The journey to building an extraordinary life is never a straight line. It’s defined by the risks we take, the hard conversations we have, and the unexpected punches that hit us square in the face.

Today's guest on The Edge of Possible, Paige Goss, is a living, breathing example of what it really takes to turn setbacks into unstoppable momentum.

Paige has redefined what’s possible by growing her company to a $10M+ force, while fiercely advocating for women founders.

She earned a spot in the Titan CEO Hall of Fame, has been named a Top 25 Woman in Business by CWCC and in this episode, Paige shares a raw look at how losing a full sports scholarship at 18 and navigating a devastating business partnership fallout became catalysts for her greatest levels of growth.

There is a big difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it.

A prime example of this is we all know we should prioritize our wellness, but many of us struggle to keep it at the top of a busy schedule throughout the year.

Today's guest on The Edge of Possible is serial entrepreneur, award winning filmmaker and former elite long-distance runner Joel Primus.

In our conversation, Joel opens up about the heartbreaking injury that ended his Olympic dreams, how he repurposed that elite-athlete energy to build a NASDAQ listed company, and how he’s now turning all of that into his latest brand, Naked Revival.

We often let small doubts stop us from taking big leaps, especially when it comes to putting ourselves out there. My guest this week, Alan McLaren, has spent a lifetime mastering the art of feeling the fear and doing it anyway, from the grueling cold calls of the 1980s to serving as the International Chair of YPO Gold, and most recently, founding his latest company STRATA Originals.

In this episode, Alan reveals how building "trust at scale" has become the ultimate competitive advantage in an AI-driven world. We dive into the steps for owning your voice with authenticity, why your word matters more than any title, and how he rebuilt his entire business after losing 85% of his revenue overnight.

This conversation is a masterclass in resilience and leading from the heart.

We communicate constantly, but most of us miss the vast majority of what is actually being said. Today's guest, Molly Blomquist, spent decades mastering the art of reading people in some of the most high-stakes environments on the planet, from Iraq to Pakistan.

She shares how the subtle cues we miss are often the difference between success and failure in negotiations, leadership, and personal relationships.

This deep dive conversation is about more than just body language, it’s about active listening, deep preparation, and having the courage to trust your intuition when the stakes are high.
