One way this shows up is here.

Do most schools actually run on systems, or do they run on people compensating for what the system doesn’t yet do well?
If you’ve ever had the sense that things shouldn’t feel quite this fragile, this episode will likely resonate.

Episode 6 of the Simplicity in the Noise podcast is out.
This one comes from a simple observation I keep coming back to: creativity in leadership usually shows up after depth and mastery, not before.

Space to think clearly.
I’ve been very intentional about how Simpang has grown.
Not to add more noise.
Not to tell leaders what they should already know.
And not to assume that the challenge is a lack of ability.

Everyone loves something for free, especially when it’s actually useful.
I’ve been genuinely delighted by the reaction to the Simpang S-Series. School leaders from all over the world have been downloading, watching, listening, reflecting, and telling me how these resources have helped.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been sharing something new with a small group of school leaders.
It’s a short-form leadership podcast that seems to be something genuinely useful.
No noise, no pressure, no performance, just a quiet five minutes that helps you think a little more clearly.

Some leaders want to begin by exploring, reflecting, and sharpening their thinking first. Others need a clear starting point before stepping into deeper work. And many simply want access to high-quality tools and ideas without a paywall.
