<v Speaker 1>Courtesy of Cornerstone Classical Academy. Dale willis you brought friends?

6
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.359
<v Speaker 1>I did tell us about our friends here today.

7
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:24.480
<v Speaker 2>There are two of our nine students that we have

8
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.160
<v Speaker 2>in our Leadership Academy. We have Gracie Call, who is

9
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:31.679
<v Speaker 2>a freshman, and Zane Deal, who is a senior and

10
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.000
<v Speaker 2>is also doing a little work for you guys around here.

11
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>We see Zine every day.

12
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:36.039
<v Speaker 2>Cool.

13
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.359
<v Speaker 1>This is really neat. So I'm going to start out

14
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>first of all with Zane. Tell us about your experience

15
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:44.799
<v Speaker 1>here with the leadership program.

16
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.479
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, it's been great, it's been great.

17
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.719
<v Speaker 4>It's it made me realize how much work goes into

18
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:58.479
<v Speaker 4>like broadcasting and radio stations. Recently, Like I've been working

19
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.880
<v Speaker 4>with Joe a lot. He's been teaching me about voiceovers

20
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:06.879
<v Speaker 4>and it's so interesting how you can record something then

21
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.560
<v Speaker 4>it sounds like it's live on the radio and then yeah,

22
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:11.920
<v Speaker 4>it's just so interesting.

23
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, there's there's a lot of different facets. Again,

24
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>you're picking up on them pretty quick, and you're getting

25
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>it from a seasoned professional. Yeah, that's that's kind of

26
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:24.879
<v Speaker 1>where this is all about, to get in some mentorship

27
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>with folks who've been around the workplace a little bit.

28
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.120
<v Speaker 2>We're making a really strong effort at the Leadership School

29
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>to get our students out into the community and see

30
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:35.760
<v Speaker 2>how things really work on the ground level and what

31
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.040
<v Speaker 2>what good leaders look like. I'm sure we'll eventually bump

32
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 2>into what bad leaders look like, but we haven't yet.

33
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>We're good.

34
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.159
<v Speaker 5>We started here with you guys, so we did it right.

35
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 2>But now we're trying to be really active in the

36
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.599
<v Speaker 2>community and find out make those connections and just get

37
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.959
<v Speaker 2>our kids integrated, turning kind of turned knowledge into action

38
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 2>and get them out there.

39
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>That's great, Gracie, tell us a little bit about your story.

40
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so, I'm loving the Leadership Academy.

41
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 6>It really shows me, like how like what a good

42
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:11.560
<v Speaker 6>leader looks like and what makes a good leader and

43
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 6>the attributes that past leaders have that we can apply

44
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 6>in our own lives to make us better leaders in

45
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:19.120
<v Speaker 6>the future.

46
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:21.159
<v Speaker 1>Gate what are some of the things to make a

47
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:22.360
<v Speaker 1>good leader? A good leader.

48
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 6>Well, like humility. That's a big thing that we've been

49
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.599
<v Speaker 6>looking at. Like with George Washington, we've been looking at

50
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 6>him in the past, and a big thing that he

51
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 6>had was.

52
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 3>Humility, like to not take all of.

53
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.080
<v Speaker 6>His success for himself, but he really just like lifted

54
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 6>others up and was like, well it wasn't just me

55
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.280
<v Speaker 6>who did this, it was all my other team as well.

56
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Wow, man, that's good. You do it right.

57
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're doing a deep dive into biographies of leaders

58
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.639
<v Speaker 2>in the past that have really done it the right way.

59
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.719
<v Speaker 2>We just finished George Washington. We're going to discuss Joan

60
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 2>of Arc in class this week. That was our second

61
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.759
<v Speaker 2>biography that we've done, and we've got a really long

62
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 2>list of leadership components and just great examples of doing

63
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 2>it in a way that not only lifts your team up,

64
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 2>like Gracie said, but also honors God and a strong

65
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:18.240
<v Speaker 2>effort to do thing the right way.

66
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Now, I understand that there have been some field drips

67
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 1>just the short time you folks have been going to

68
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 1>school police and firing it. Am I correct tell us

69
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>about that.

70
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

71
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 6>So on nine to eleven, we did a tour of

72
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.879
<v Speaker 6>the Bartisville Fire Department and the Bartisville Police Department and

73
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 6>kind of went over like what they do there and

74
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.560
<v Speaker 6>also kind of like how to get a job there.

75
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 3>If like one of the students in leadership wanted to like.

76
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 6>Go that career path, but really just what they do

77
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 6>there and what makes them a special.

78
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Wow, you know, leadership and camaraderie and everything else. You know,

79
00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the teamwork. You know, we're.

80
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Focusing in our ass on servant leadership and there's not

81
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 2>a better example that in our police department, in our

82
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 2>fur department of servant leadership, and we really got to

83
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:09.280
<v Speaker 2>see that blows up.

84
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 1>Now, you're a senior this year, you've spent off for

85
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.759
<v Speaker 1>at the Cornerstone. Not exactly, not exactly, but how's your

86
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:18.759
<v Speaker 1>experience been at Cornerstone.

87
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 5>At Cornerston, It's been great.

88
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.600
<v Speaker 4>It's taught me a lot, and it's taught me a

89
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.399
<v Speaker 4>lot of real world applications.

90
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.879
<v Speaker 1>Well that's good because you know, if you just get

91
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.759
<v Speaker 1>the hypothetical in the classroom and all of a sudden

92
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>get out in the real world, that's like stepping on

93
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.040
<v Speaker 1>a racing getting that sulp right there. You know, it's

94
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>not a good thing.

95
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 5>When we started our year. This year, we haven't.

96
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:44.079
<v Speaker 2>There's a heavy infas on history studying earlier leaders in

97
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 2>our in our program, and I promised our kids that

98
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.439
<v Speaker 2>we were not going to memorize dates this year, but

99
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:53.839
<v Speaker 2>we're going to look going to go a little deeper

100
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 2>than that. We're going to see what made this leader

101
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>make this decision. We're going to see how the culture

102
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.959
<v Speaker 2>influenced his decisions and his leadership. We're going to be

103
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.759
<v Speaker 2>more concerned with why they did what they did instead

104
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.319
<v Speaker 2>of when they did what they did.

105
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:07.959
<v Speaker 5>And I think that.

106
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Really that puts a lot more meat on the bone

107
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:11.839
<v Speaker 2>for what were study.

108
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, there's a lot more to think about when

109
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>you examined the thinking that's right that went into an action.

110
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:24.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know, when we go back to history, they

111
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 1>say it's often written by the victors. Sometimes it's not.

112
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it's a combination of everything right. And once you

113
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 1>get into that, I mean, you can probably see why

114
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>some decisions are really really good. Now there's really really bad.

115
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Not going to make anything about mister Custer here, but

116
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>you know things, but that was a bad decision. But anyway,

117
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 1>it's great to know that you're in a great place

118
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>with Cornerstone Academy. You're liking it so far, aren't you.

119
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it's been so fun. It's probably the highlight of

120
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:54.560
<v Speaker 3>my week.

121
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, very good and of course your experience you

122
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>told us you really like this too. We have such

123
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>a nice format because it's a blended format. It's a

124
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:07.240
<v Speaker 1>little bit about.

125
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:09.079
<v Speaker 5>This well, the Cornerstone Academy itself.

126
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 2>We have the Leadership Academy that these guys are in

127
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.120
<v Speaker 2>that I teach, and then we also have just a

128
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Tuesday Thursday school at Cornerstone, which is a hybrid model

129
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 2>of classroom on Tuesday Thursday and homeschool Monday, Wednesday Friday.

130
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.800
<v Speaker 5>And that's pre K through high school.

131
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>We added high school classes this year and that's really

132
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:26.839
<v Speaker 2>really gone.

133
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, there you go. That's why you answered the way

134
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>you did, because you knew, and you knew that I

135
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't know. Isn't he good? He's going to be a

136
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 1>good leader.

137
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely.

138
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:39.439
<v Speaker 2>We've got nine kids in this class that have all

139
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.439
<v Speaker 2>proven that they're there for the right reasons. They're looking

140
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:48.120
<v Speaker 2>for ways to improve themselves, and they have their future.

141
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, they're thinking about what's next. And I'm not

142
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:54.519
<v Speaker 2>sure I did that when I was in High School.

143
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.399
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking about what was for lunch, and.

144
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you there, Dale.

145
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.839
<v Speaker 2>It's really impressive and just a blessing to me to

146
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:03.279
<v Speaker 2>get spend time with these guys.

147
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Now, how can parents find out more about this so

148
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>that when they're looking ahead next semester or next year.

157
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>You'll find out a little bit more about the history

158
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.959
<v Speaker 1>of the school and a little bit about everything else

159
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.240
<v Speaker 1>that goes on. I have been going on for a

160
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>few years down and been doing quite well. Matter.

161
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 2>This is the eleventh year of Cornerstone. We actually had

162
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:49.160
<v Speaker 2>a Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting just this past week.

163
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:51.600
<v Speaker 2>We joined the Chamber and that's a really cool stepe.

164
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:53.480
<v Speaker 2>We really enjoyed that.

165
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.279
<v Speaker 1>All right, well, great, you know are you are you

166
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>going to keep this a secret? You're going to let

167
00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 1>some of your friends know about this. Crazy.

168
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.399
<v Speaker 6>Oh, we're definitely telling everybody. We always are accepting new

169
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.959
<v Speaker 6>people and we always want to expand it so everybody

170
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:06.720
<v Speaker 6>can come and join.

171
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.279
<v Speaker 1>All right, So it's not the Bicket's kept secret anymore.

172
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:12.439
<v Speaker 1>It's getting out there.

173
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:13.800
<v Speaker 5>We're doing our best.

174
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Are we overworking you here, Zane?

175
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:17.839
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, no, I'm loving it.

176
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.199
<v Speaker 1>Okay. I just wanted to make sure because you know,

177
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.360
<v Speaker 1>when you're young, sometimes people say, well they can do it,

178
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:28.759
<v Speaker 1>I'll just sit here and watch. I'm hoping we're not

179
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:32.159
<v Speaker 1>doing that too. Yeah, Okay, good, good, Dale. This has

180
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.639
<v Speaker 1>got to be something really special for you. I know

181
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:36.639
<v Speaker 1>this is something you've wanted to do for a while.

182
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.000
<v Speaker 2>We've talked about this with various people in the community

183
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:43.840
<v Speaker 2>for about five years now, and it's just really you know,

184
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.519
<v Speaker 2>you never know when you pull something together what God's

185
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:47.200
<v Speaker 2>going to do with it.

186
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:51.519
<v Speaker 5>You just kind of count on that, and here we are.

187
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know something, in just a few short weeks

188
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:57.120
<v Speaker 1>after five years of putting it together, you folks have

189
00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>really caught fire.

190
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.320
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of great conversation around our community right

191
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:04.240
<v Speaker 2>now that we're doing and that that just really really

192
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:05.399
<v Speaker 2>blesses all of us.

193
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty much one of the talks with the town,

194
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:09.039
<v Speaker 1>as they say.

195
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:09.559
<v Speaker 5>I think it is.

196
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.679
<v Speaker 1>I tell you what, you guys are no strangers, and

197
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.759
<v Speaker 1>I really hope you had a good time conversing with

198
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.639
<v Speaker 1>the police and fire because I got to tell you

199
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 1>they're more than just people with sharp uniforms, and they've

200
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.399
<v Speaker 1>got sharp minds, right, and when it comes to just

201
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.039
<v Speaker 1>kind of figuring things out and working it all together,

202
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:31.639
<v Speaker 1>they do this on a day to day basis. Maybe

203
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:34.799
<v Speaker 1>if the rest of society would kind of figure that out,

204
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 1>that we've got to do this all together, we might

205
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:39.919
<v Speaker 1>be in a better spot all the way resolutely. And

206
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:42.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's what this leadership is all about. I think.

207
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>All right, once again, how can they get a hold

208
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:47.440
<v Speaker 1>of you?

209
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:51.919
<v Speaker 5>Can they just get a Hoostone Classical academy and take

210
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:52.440
<v Speaker 5>it from there?

211
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Alrighty, hey, thank you for bringing in the pair of

212
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:56.279
<v Speaker 1>the brightest.

213
00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:58.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm really proud of both of them.

214
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:00.559
<v Speaker 1>We ought to be. I know they're my the dads

215
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.480
<v Speaker 1>are they are and we are too. Thank you very

216
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:06.279
<v Speaker 1>much and thank you every day. All right, all right,

217
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:07.320
<v Speaker 1>we've got more coming up.
