🎙️ Today’s Conversation
IS THIS REAL LIFE?!?! As a Purdue fan, it pains me to say that Indiana sports history was made last night, but not by my Boilers. The Indiana Hoosiers checks notes football team(?!) dominated the Crimson Tide of Alabama 38–3 in the Rose Bowl, moving one step closer to a national championship. What does it mean!? I get into it.
I also wrap up part four of my conversation with Tina Ahlgren, digging into what comes next as the ILEA recommendations head to the statehouse, what gives her hope heading into 2026, and why public engagement matters—especially when it comes to education, democracy, and showing up.

đź“Ł Final Thoughts
This conversation isn’t over. Whether it’s education, redistricting, or who shows up to vote, the throughline is the same: participation matters. If we want better outcomes for our communities—and especially for our kids—we can’t afford to check out.
Let me know your thoughts.
