We invite you to tune into UpstreamUD- a podcast hosted by The Brook Center. This show highlights local, state, and national voices discussing the complexities of being human. Join us as, together, we tackle social issues, cultural movements, relationships and wellbeing in a way that showcases how we really are more alike than we are different. 

In this episode we are joined by Coach Jim Place, a double UD alum, high school football coach of more than 50 years, and a Character Education Expert. Coach Place describes what makes up one’s character and attitude and the power they both hold. He teaches the basic tools used to define one's personal character and core values, and inspires listeners to recognize the power of small, every day choices.

The Brook Center values the uniqueness and diversity of all people. The goal of this podcast is to celebrate the wellbeing of all people and to create a space to learn and grow through conversations. We recognize that no one person is an expert on all things and that the people spotlighted on our episodes can only represent their own views and life experiences. We are grateful for the opportunity to create content where we can all engage in lifelong learning.
