Why Successor Coach? Too many transitions fail or don't go as well as they should. We help people moving into senior leadership create a custom plan to gain missing skills, knowledge, experience and relationships in the seven major areas of their business. #SuccessorCoach

Love is at some level counting the other person's needs and interests as more important than your own needs or interests. Otherwise you are just mutually using each other. Confronting wrongdoing is part of love because it is unloving to let someone sin against you.

I continue to be blown away by what @delk and @Primer have built and what their students are achieving. They’re showing what’s possible when we rethink education and give students the opportunity to thrive.

Dr. Shack founded the very first Primer. She started it in Liberty City, 15 minutes north of Miami, where she’d been a longtime teacher and Assistant Principal. It’s a neighborhood of 7,000 kids whose parents are in a never-ending fighting for better schools. She was one of the earliest believers in our model. She took a bet on me, the team, and trusted us enough to bring 100+ students from her community that she knew and loved. We now have Primers all over many states (and I love them all!), but visiting Shack and her Liberty City crew will always hit a bit different.

Right now, your gift can make twice the impact. A friend of Man in the Mirror has committed $100,000 to help us reach more men, but only if we raise $100,000 to match it dollar for dollar. Together, we can reach the next million men with life-changing content that points them toward Christ. Every gift does twice the good. Give today at the link in the comments.

Thanks to new legislation, it's now possible for companies in Florida to offer a free, K-8 Primer on-site for their employees. 100% free for the company, 100% free private school for employees. We'll be piloting this with a few companies soon — DM's open or [email protected]

I originally met Adam 2 years ago. His reason for wanting to launch a Primer was simple: “I realized that I love teaching, but I hate being a teacher in the big system.” This week he launched Primer Babcock Ranch in Southwest Florida. The kids are so lucky to have him.

This job will be awesome for someone because a) you’ll get to save kids from the clutches of public school and b) you’ll get to work with @delk

There's a new, under-the-radar federal program that will unlock billions of dollars for K-12 school choice on January 1st. I'm hiring a leader to own this for Primer — equal parts GTM, ops, legal, marketing & BD. Reports directly to me. Come save the next generation. DM's open.

Wonderful to host @michaelbhorn at Primer Coconut Grove — we cover a lot of ground, including a few minutes inside the classroom for the first time:

30 years ago my mom founded one of the first microschools in Florida. Gov. @JebBush fought the early, contrarian battles to unlock that education for our family and millions of others. Quite a full-circle moment to sit down and discuss the state of US K-12 together:

The chief test of whether or not you are a servant is if you’re willing to be treated like one.

We need thousands of new, low-cost schools across the US. But outdated state and local regulations make this arduous at best and impossible at worst. Today we're announcing a new, non-profit advocacy org to fix this: Schools for America.
