Teach, Coach, Mentor
Podcast Description
Welcome to Teach Coach Mentor, the podcast for anyone who believes learning is a lifelong mission, not a one-time event.
Whether you're a student trying to find your footing, a professional chasing your next edge, or someone who's been called to teach, lead, or guide others, this show was made for you.
Every week, we sit down with exceptional teachers, coaches, mentors, and learners from every walk of life: classroom educators, athletic coaches, business leaders, military instructors, and everyday people doing the hard work of growth. Together, we unpack what it really means to teach with clarity, coach with purpose, and mentor with heart.
If you've ever asked yourself:
How can I learn faster, remember more, and actually apply what I know?
How do I motivate my students or team when the fire fades?
How do I mentor someone without giving all the answers?
What do the best teachers, leaders, and guides do that others don’t?
You're in the right place.
Each episode blends research-backed strategies with real-world stories, because learning isn’t just about knowledge, it’s about people. We go deep on:
Learning science, habits, and memory techniques
Communication and connection
Building trust and accountability
Creating transformative experiences for students and teams
The mindset, methods, and mistakes that shape great educators and leaders
Hosted by Mike Wish, Marine Corps officer, teacher, and founder of Velle Logos. This show is born from a lifelong obsession with helping others grow. Mike brings humor, heart, and a teacher’s clarity to every conversation, challenging guests and listeners alike to dig deeper, think harder, and never stop becoming.
No matter your role, age, or stage, this podcast is here to equip you, challenge you, and inspire you to be better at what matters most: the people you serve.

Welcome to Teach, Coach, Mentor: the podcast about what it actually takes to reach people.
We sit down with teachers, coaches, and mentors who are doing the work and we dig into their methods. How they teach so it lands. How they coach so it sticks. How they mentor so it matters.
If you care about getting better at developing others — whether that’s in a classroom, on a field, in a workplace, or across a lifetime — this show is for you.
I’m your host, educator and coach, Mike Wish. Let’s get after it.
Dr. Arielle Jordan brings a rare combination of credentials to this conversation: Army veteran, licensed trauma therapist, keynote speaker, and entrepreneur. She breaks down why telling veterans to seek help has not been enough, and what actually has to change for mental health support to land.
Key takeaways:
- The PTSD Coach app (developed by the VA) works for anyone dealing with anxiety, anger, or sleeplessness, not just combat veterans, and it is free.
- Destigmatization campaigns fail when the system does not back them up. If getting help costs you your career, you will not get help.
- Community erosion is a real mental health driver, both inside and outside the service. Intentional calendaring is one practical fix.
- The three chairs framework: your past self (survivor), your present self (wisdom), and your future self (visionary) all have to be in the room.
- 988, then press 1, connects you to crisis support trained in military culture. It is not just for emergencies.
