ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
A platform by The Brigade Schools where experts come together for real conversations about growing up, learning, failing, parenting, identity, and navigating modern childhood. It's part podcast, part YouTube show, and fully aligned with Brigade's belief that every child's journey is unique — and worth listening to.
We host conversations — real ones — about parenting in the digital age, student anxiety, learning challenges, friendship, identity, even failure. We feature not just students and teachers, but parents, alumni, and external experts. We listen. We reflect.
