BREAKING: The Teachers on Fire Podcast is BACK. Big thanks to recent guests @marcusluther.bsky.social, @smgaillard.bsky.social, and @mrnunesteach.bsky.social for helping me recover my footing. This Saturday will be my sixth straight weekend recording and publishing, and I couldn't be happier.

There’s a stretch in leadership when the stage feels empty. Play anyway. That’s how the next band forms. #LeadershipRiffs

Belonging is being in a band.

Sometimes leadership is just keeping time in the dark, trusting the harmony will return. #LeadershipRiffs

Nick Drake never knew how far his songs would reach. Leadership can feel the same way. We may not always see the impact, but the sound still carries. It matters. 🎧 The Sound That Prevails: Leadership Lessons from Nick Drake and Unseen Impact seangaillard.com/2025/11/09/t...

Walk away from those who admire the problem and avoid the solution. True leadership is found among the builders, the doers, and the brave hearts who lean into the hard work of progress. #LeadershipRiffs

Somewhere out there, a band is waiting for your sound. The rhythm only you can bring. The harmony only you can hear. Keep playing. They’ll find you when the song needs you most. #LeadershipRiffs

Maybe belonging isn’t always found in the places we hoped for. Maybe it’s found in the quiet moments when we pick up the instrument anyway and play from the heart. #LeadershipRiffs

Failure leaves echoes that linger, but the rhythm always finds its way back. "Failure Hurts, But the Beat Goes On" seangaillard.com/2025/11/07/failure-hurts-but-the-beat-goes-on/ #LeadershipRiffs

We are living in an AI Sputnik Moment. This moment is calling us to reflect, prepare, and lead with purpose. It is not about new tools. It is about courage, collaboration, and a shared vision for the future of learning. Read the full post here: seangaillard.com/2025/10/30/e... #AI #EduSky

Keep your circle close. Stay near the ones who love you without conditions. The ones who check in when you go quiet. The ones who celebrate you when you rise and sit with you when you fall. Protect your peace. Nurture your people. That’s where the real harmony lives. #LeadershipRiffs

Barnes & Noble. Coffee, Springsteen, and quiet questions. Missing old friends to trade ideas and music with.

At 20:06 in "The Köln Concert," Keith Jarrett pivots from discord into light. His chords rise, his voice cries out, and hope is born. Hope is the ignition for inspiring action. Leaders can pivot into something beautiful even in the hardest moments. 👉 seangaillard.com/2025/09/13/p... #EduSky
