Show notes

I caught up with young author AaRon Brooks, a Duke Elementary student who turned his own experience with big emotions into the children’s book Turbo’s Big Red Switch. Inspired by his journey learning how to manage frustration and overwhelming feelings, AaRon created Turbo, a robot who discovers healthy ways to calm down and take control of his “emotion engine.” With help from his mom, Melba, AaRon has taken the message beyond the book with calming exercises, worksheets and resources designed to help other kids handle tough moments. We talked about what inspired the story, what he hopes kids learn from Turbo, and what might be next for this young author.

Show notes

Ms. Rachel stepped outside the toddler world and into a heated debate after suggesting the Nolan Wells investigation might have played out differently if the races were reversed. Was she using her platform to call out possible bias, or did she speak before all the facts were known?

Show notes

The creators behind Gracie's Corner sat down with Madd Hatta — and this one hits different. The Hollingsworths built more than a kids' channel. They built a movement rooted in joy, representation, and education for Black families — and then landed a Disney deal to prove the industry was watching. We get into the intention behind the magic, the entrepreneurial leap it took to get there, and what it really means when Black creators build something the culture can't ignore. This is what purpose-driven creativity looks like in real time.
