#129: John Weaver-Madison-Ridgeland Academy (MS)

John Weaver sits down with us today to discuss his amazing journey as an athlete and coach of track and field and football in the state of Mississippi. From a random day in 8th grade when a coach walked up and told him to do the pole vault to coaching Madison-Ridgeland Academy's first boy's state title in 2015, John's story features amazing lessons of grit, determination and leadership.

If you haven't heard John on his podcast, please consider checking out Culture Classroom he and John Torrey invite guests such as CEOs, inventors, teachers and more to talk about lesson's learned regarding culture.
