UnDisrupted with Adam & Carl

Remember that snack you loved as a kid… but tried as an adult and immediately questioned your life choices? Yeah… that’s where this episode kicks off. But don’t get it twisted… what starts as Kool-Aid and Twinkies quickly turns into a real conversation about something way bigger: how we’re showing up for AI in schools right now. Joining the crew is Winston Roberts, and he doesn’t just talk about A...

This episode opens the only way Undisrupted knows how… with a story that somehow involves losing the tip of a tongue and immediately spirals into a full-blown, life-or-death condiment debate. (Yes, desert island rules apply. Choose wisely.) But once the laughs settle in, the conversation with Suzan Brandt takes a turn into something deeper and way more meaningful. This episode is about leadership...

What do The Bodyguard, Waiting to Exhale, Above the Rim, virtual learning, and AI have in common? Apparently... this episode. This conversation starts with a soundtrack showdown and quickly turns into something bigger: a sharp, honest look at what it means to lead learning when “school” no longer has to mean four walls, fluorescent lights, and somebody sprinting down a hallway with one shoe half o...

What do airline loyalty points, bungee-corded airplane seats, MetaRay-Bans, Target therapy walks, and AI governance have in common? Absolutely everything. And somehow… it all makes sense. In this episode, we’re live in DeKalb County, Georgia, with Terri Webb, a former parent volunteer turned instructional tech leader supporting 89,000 students. Yes. Eighty-nine thousand. With a team of thirteen. L...

What if we stopped pretending there is only one “right” path after high school? This episode leans into a bold, overdue conversation about the space between K–12 and higher education and what happens when those worlds finally start talking to each other. Sam Brooks joins Adam and Carl to unpack why community colleges, technical programs, and non-traditional pathways are not a backup plan. They are...

Split pants. Karaoke trauma. Lip sync battles as a serious professional learning proposal. And then it goes somewhere important. Ainsley Hill joins the conversation to talk about the thing educators are craving most right now. Humanity. Not louder tools. Not longer app lists. Real connection. This episode dives into why AI should amplify your voice, not erase it. Why coaching starts with listening...

Dr. Matthew Friedman joins the conversation to break down how schools can stop “playing school” and start helping students actually understand who they are, what they are good at, and where their passions can take them. From career awareness in kindergarten to voice and choice in high school, this is about making learning matter now, not someday. It’s a conversation about relevance. About student...

Dr. Andrew Taylor, Director of Technology and Innovation, joins Adam and Carl for one of the most important discussions of the season. Not about devices. Not about dashboards. About student mental wellness and why schools can no longer afford to treat it as an “add-on.” This episode explores: Why student mental health is the most urgent issue facing schools today How AI can be used to support emot...

In this episode, Adam and Carl are joined by Dr. Amy Del Corvo, Executive Director of NYSCATE, for a real talk conversation from the conference floor. They unpack what educators are actually wrestling with right now. AI without the hype. Policy versus practice. Why conferences still matter. And how the community keeps leaders sane when everything feels loud. You’ll hear: Why AI should be embedded,...
