Showing Up

Showing Up is a four-part podcast series about the experiences that shaped why I’m running for Grandville School Board—and what I’ve learned by showing up for students, teachers, families, and our community.


EPISODE 1

Meet Nick Brock

Five years ago, my wife and I walked our son to his first day of school. We didn't know then how much that short walk would change the way I thought about our schools, our community, and what it means to show up.

In Episode 1, I share more about who I am, the experiences that shaped me, and why I'm running for Grandville School Board.

EPISODE 2

Supporting Students

When my wife and I received a letter explaining that our son would receive some additional academic support, my first reaction was concern. By the time I finished reading it, that concern had turned into gratitude. His teacher had noticed where some additional support could help—and was already responding.

In Episode 2, I share what that experience taught me about supporting students—and why being known, having the right academic support, access to school supplies, and school meals can help students arrive ready to learn.
