What does it look like when a superintendent leads with both advocacy and empathy?

In this powerful episode, Martin DuBois, Superintendent of Ashland-Greenwood Public Schools in Nebraska, shares how small-town leadership can create generational change—one student, one family, and one vote at a time.

Martin speaks openly about his early career in special education and how it shaped his understanding of what students truly need: systems that serve, adults who believe, and communities that unite around the future.

Whether you’re leading facilities planning, renewing bonds, or just trying to see the student behind the paperwork—this episode is your reminder that it only takes one to start a ripple.
