The Whole Student podcast premieres with esteemed guest James Joyce. Among his many accomplishments, James is a community leader and founder of the event series "Coffee With A Black Guy." An experienced public servant and a former award-winning journalist, James is currently running for Mayor of Santa Barbara, and he sat down with Kal to talk about teachers who drove him — some through their unique understanding of his personality and another through an astonishing confrontation. Please enjoy this honest and emotional conversation with a rising local leader.
