SHOW
The Show
with Dr. Joe
Real conversations with K–12 and higher education leaders who are making the impossible inevitable — and telling us exactly how they did it.
Most breakthrough leadership stories
never get told.
Your Peers Are Your Best Teachers
Superintendents and presidents learn best from each other — not from consultants, keynotes, or white papers. This show puts your colleagues in the seat and lets them speak plainly.
Real Stories, Not Highlight Reels
We go deep on what the challenge actually looked like, the moment the decision got made, and what came after. No press release conversations. No polished talking points.
Grounded in National Research
Every conversation connects to patterns documented across 1,000+ leadership teams. Read the research →
A Platform Worth Being On
Your story and your institution's progress — in front of an audience of the exact peers who need to hear it. Your episode lives permanently on YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook.
Proud Sponsor of Progress
Higher Performance Group exists to cancel all things average in educational leadership. The Show is how we put that belief on air — one leader at a time.

Are You Making the
Impossible Inevitable?
The Show is selective by design. We feature K–12 and higher education leaders producing breakthrough results their peers need to hear about.
You Lead at the Top
Superintendent, district CEO, college president, chancellor, or provost — you're accountable for the whole system.
Your Team Has a Win Worth Sharing
Something real changed in your institution. A result surprised even you. That's a story your peers need — and this is the platform to tell it.
You're Willing to Be Honest
We don't do polished talking points. The leaders who resonate most tell it straight — including what was hard.
