ED-pisode One: The Man, the Myth, the Math Teacher, and the Football Coach

We finally did it… we got Brooke’s dad on the podcast! And honestly? One episode was not enough. 😂 In this first ED-pisode, we sit down with Ed — beloved dad, former math teacher, championship football coach, random fact machine, and possibly the only person Brooke thinks is smarter than Miranda. We talk about his years in the classroom, what it takes to really teach students who don’t believe in themselves, the lessons he learned from coaching football, and what leadership looks like when it’s rooted in patience, discipline, character, and care. Of course, there are stories, laughs, Brooke memories, Miranda trying to defend her intelligence, and plenty of reasons we now believe “Ed Talks” may need to become its own thing. This one is funny, thoughtful, and full of the kind of wisdom that only comes from someone who has spent a lifetime teaching, coaching, leading, loving his family, and showing up faithfully. So grab your coffee, settle in, and enjoy ED-pisode One — because when we’re together, it’ll always be fun!
