What if the problem was never the student, but the system? In this episode, Brandon Laws sits down with Beven Byrnes, Executive Director of Bridges Middle School in Portland, Oregon, the only school in Oregon exclusively serving neurodivergent students. Beven shares how Bridges is flipping the script on traditional education through relationship-based teaching, sensory-aware classrooms, and a deep commitment to belonging.

But the conversation doesn't stop at the classroom door. Beven connects the dots between what neurodivergent students need to thrive and what employers are still getting wrong. If you're a business leader, HR professional, or anyone who believes every person deserves a place where they can do their best work, this episode will challenge how you think about talent, culture, and what it really means to build an inclusive workplace!

Anne, Kasey, Micaiah, Emily, and Gabrielle had a blast volunteering at Lan Su Chinese Garden this morning!

We filled three compost bins and washed and sanitized a ton of plastic planter pots to support Lan Su's horticulture team, which grows for the garden and donates edible plants locally. The team also took a moment to enjoy the lovely tea house, grab some drinks and snacks, and walk the garden.

Lan Su is a must-visit if you're in Portland! Thanks for having us back for a second year in a row! 🌱✨
