Memoir: Finding the humanity in our parents w/Liz Sjaastad

Best Selling Author of the Memoir, You're Too Young to Understand

Liz Fiedorow Sjaastad has written a memoir, You’re Too Young to Understand, about growing up with, and then caring for, her father – a quiet Russian immigrant, an intellectual who drank too much and her mother – a smart and proper beauty who suffered with the life-altering brain illness of schizophrenia, though she never acknowledged it.

Liz's life story has inspired more than just a book - it has fueled her advocacy. She has served on the board of Touchstone Mental Health and is currently the vice president of her local NAMI affiliate. She continues to share her voice to build awareness of schizophrenia to help end the stigma that prevents understanding, research, and support for those suffering.

The Romanticization of Leadership Problem w/Travis Schachtner

Ethical Employment Advocate

Raised on a family farm in rural Wisconsin, Dr. Schachtner learned early on that all work has value—and that belief has guided him through a remarkable career. From military service and private industry to elected office, he’s worn many hats and seen leadership from every angle.

With advanced degrees in Leadership and a Doctorate in Career and Technical Education Leadership, Dr. Schachtner brings a unique blend of academic insight and real-world grit. His leadership philosophy, shaped by Maslow’s principles and the Romanticization of Leadership Theory, focuses on meeting the needs of others and building strong relationships.

Now teaching Electromechanical Systems at Saint Paul College, Dr. Schachtner lives out his belief that the world needs fewer wannabe leaders—and more people who can actually fix things.
