In this powerful episode of We Are All Awesome Show powered by WiddyUP, we sit down with award-winning educator and music director Collin Binko, who shares how he's using the universal language of music to create culture, build confidence, and ignite student potential. From turning nervous students into confident soloists to empowering kids through intentional practice and high-performance routines, Collin reveals his methods for building safe spaces where students can thrive both on and off the stage. And yes, he’s the teacher who makes you do jumping jacks before your solo!

Collin dives into the mindset behind success, emphasizing that real confidence is built through preparation, not praise. We talk about leadership, setting boundaries to avoid burnout, and why being flexible with your career path can lead to unexpected breakthroughs. Whether it’s guiding on mountains or leading choirs with hundreds of voices, Collin proves that mentorship, mindset, and mission-driven work can echo far beyond the classroom. This is a must-listen for educators, creatives, and anyone passionate about community-driven impact.
