🎙️ Upcoming Episode of The Above The Bar Podcast | Live February 11th at 8 PM EST
We’re honored to welcome Dr. Stefan Bean, a transformational leader whose life story and leadership journey redefine what’s possible.
Dr. Bean is the Superintendent of Orange County, California Schools, overseeing one of the largest and most diverse education systems in the country. His leadership is grounded in lived experience, resilience, and a deep commitment to advocating for students who are often overlooked.
He is also the co-author of the bestselling book Lifted to Lead, a powerful true story that traces his journey from being a disabled orphan evacuated from Saigon during the Vietnam War to becoming one of the nation’s most respected educational leaders. The book is a testament to perseverance, purpose, and leading with empathy.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
• What leadership looks like when it’s shaped by adversity
• How hardship can become a source of clarity and strength
• Why representation, equity, and education matter now more than ever
This is more than a conversation about leadership. It’s about rising, responsibility, and using your voice when it matters most.
