What’s your theme song as an edtech leader? This week, Adam and Carl are joined by the insightful and always entertaining Chris Lockhart, a veteran district tech leader with stories, strategies, and yes—soundtracks—for navigating the ever-evolving world of educational technology. In this episode, they dive into the real-life highs and hurdles of CTOs and CIOs, unpacking how leadership changes throughout the school year, how to keep your sanity during testing season, and why tech leadership is as much about people as it is about platforms. Chris offers thoughtful reflections, practical advice, and just enough dad-joke energy to remind us that leadership doesn’t have to be lonely or boring. Don’t miss Season 9, Episode 4 of the UnDisrupted Podcast—where real edtech leaders keep it real (and a little ridiculous).
