#9 Beyond the Surface with Marisol Rerucha Mar 30, 2021

Show notes

The deeply authentic and courageously vulnerable, Marisol Rerucha, joins me to discuss her new book, Beyond the Surface of Restorative Practices: Building a Culture of Equity, Connection, & Healing. Marisol shares how this is a way of BEING, not just a strategy, and that this work is for EVERYONE in the community and not just the students. Learn how the roots of restorative practices can be found in the Indigenous communities of the past (and carried on through the present) and how this is more than a mindset...it is a heartset. So many powerful takeaways about healing, forgiveness, connections, self-care, and more. You'll be fascinated to learn about her unique ties to Chicano Park, a National Historic Site in San Diego that has to be seen to be believed. You will love how she emphasizes that this work...this life...is about more than us. It is about honoring those who came before and...those who have yet to come. It is bigger than us!

#8 My "Undelivered" Eulogy for John Berray Mar 14, 2021

Show notes

Our friend and colleague, John Berray, passed away under tragic circumstances in 2020. Father, husband, educator, San Diego County Teacher of the Year, friend...and much more. His memorial was scheduled for Pi Day last March 14th, 2020 and it had to be canceled due to the breakout of the pandemic and much of the world shutting down on March 13th. One year later...here we are...still in the grasp of Covid-19. This is the eulogy I wrote to represent The Five Guys and our special relationship. It would have been delivered with the other 3 (Jarrod Carman, Dan McDowell, & Reuben Hoffman) up on stage with me. One of the cruelties of the pandemic has been the inability to gather together to celebrate, to mourn, to grieve, to commemorate, to memorialize...none of it. With a special thanks to Michele Berray for granting her blessing...here it is exactly one year later on March 14th, 2021. Pi Day. Feel free to share your thoughts on social media using the #DaveBurgessShow hashtag. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen. If you knew John...well, then you know he was a remarkable man. If you didn't know him, we wish you would have had the chance. We miss you, John.
