"If you look for obstacles, you will find them. If you look for opportunities— for and with your community—they might find you." #ForwardTogether This is a little snippet from my recent keynote at #txedcon2026, and I can feel such enthusiasm for the "Forward, Together" message. I believe in this message greatly because I benefited from it as a student. Innovation really matters to me, but I know it cannot be built without a community lifting each other up. That is what "Forward, Together" is about. If you have not read the book, I invite you to check it out at tiny.cc/ForwardTogether

“Risk is simply this: moving from a comfortable average in pursuit of an unknown better.” When you look at it that way, taking risks feels a little less challenging—though perhaps still. It’s easy to do things the way they have been done, because it creates a sense of comfort. But is staying the same better? Sometimes, yes. If you are doing things that have been done in the past that still work today, keep doing them. In fact, I would challenge you by saying that we shouldn’t do new things in education, simply because they are new—only if they are better than what we are currently doing. I don’t care about the generation an idea came from; I only care if it works. But we should never stick with something just because we are comfortable with it, especially if it doesn’t work for the people we serve." #ForwardTogether I’ve been thinking about this concept that I shared in “Forward, Together” and how it applies to my personal life. There are routines I did five years ago, I still do today, and they have been so beneficial. But I never stick with something just because it is routine. Does it help me grow and become better? As I have grown older, I realize that most of my regrets are not things I’ve done in the past, but things I wish I would’ve done. Keep what is beneficial, change what no longer serves you.
