When I first stepped into the role of principal, I inherited a leadership team that lacked trust and a shared vision. Team members operated in silos, decisions often felt forced or contentious, and collaboration was nonexistent. At the time, I thought I could fix it all by working harder, but what I didn’t realize was that true leadership wasn’t about doing everything myself—it was about creating a foundation of trust that would empower the team to work together effectively.

What if I told you the left-right political spectrum was an illusion? What if I told you there is no “left” or “right”? My guest is Hyrum Lewis, co-author of The Myth of Left and Right: How the Political Spectrum Misleads and Harms America. They argue that we’ve embraced a simplistic, faulty idea of an essential “left/liberalism” and an essential “right/conservatism.” And that, similar to embracing a faulty medical idea (like the old theory of the four humors), embracing a faulty political theory has hurt us in major ways. For one thing, it creates a perception that instead o…
