   Episode 24: A Conversation With the Educator Mayor

   What makes a teacher’s impact last long after the final bell? In Episode 24 of SIT & Sip, we catch up with Livonia Educator Chris Genthner, who retired at the end of the school year after a career devoted to students and civic education. Chris shares stories, laughs, and the wisdom he’s gained from teaching through years of change. We talk about what good civic education looks like, what today’s students get right, and why he remains hopeful about the next generation. It’s a heartfelt conversation for every teacher who has wondered what their students will carry with them.

   Episode 23 "Live from Leadership" with Dansville Superintendent Kelly Zimmerman

   This was not your average Leadership Institute show! For the last two years we've tracked folks down in the lobby and asked their views on a variety of topics. Not this year! For 2026 we sat down with Dansville Superintendent Kelly Zimmerman for her take on an excellent keynote from Kathy Graupman on Human-Centered Design, leadership thoughts, and yes we even discussed the "ranch blue cheese wars". Tune in for some excellent learning!
