"Missing a day of school - no big deal - but missing your moment of comedy, confirmation, and catharsis will NOT be an excused absence!"

Calling all mind mentors and curious curators to listen to 33 seconds of joy with Dr. Danny Brassell... and be hooked!

With effortless wit, charm, and solar-powered LOL positivity, Dr. Brassell manages to remind us again and again where the soul of teaching resides. Danny has the rare gift of telling many stories that deliver a singular lesson of eternal joy in our classrooms. Danny's toolbox of best mindspace practices is more than chicken soup for the soul; it's a powerful script to reignite every teacher's calling.

Danny knows how to offer bright bookmarks and key reminders for all educators who choose the unsolvable puzzle and great mystery of curious minds and "mixy motivations." Stop striving to teach the perfect class and call upon your students as liberators, mistake-makers and co-collaborators.

Professor Brassell's journey began in a crowded classroom in Compton, CA, where he quickly found a way to make every child feel they had an open space to explore, a best friend who would listen and a personal reading tutor who would change lives.

Dr. Brassell's work as our nation's #1 promoter of literacy is the origin story he continues to share so every child can one day discover their hero's journey. Danny beckons self-discovery in kids through the pages of books and the gift only a great story can give.

Not surprisingly, Dr. Brassell is the author of "Read, Lead & Succeed" and "The Reading Makeover." He's also a recipient of the National Leadership Award for his contributions to education and is one of the most requested keynote speaker and presenter at conferences and workshops for our nation's schools.
