Mick Unplugged · Gary Linnen: Unlocking the Power of Peer Leaders · 22 Sep 2025 podcast

So are some of your friends.

I remember getting called in the office and I was like, why am I in trouble?

They're like, no, you're actually smart.

I was like, Oh, forgot that part.

Right.

And so, um,

got chosen and they gave me an option.

And the option was to either go to a private boarding school or a private day school.

And in New York City during that time, like that wasn't really something that we've ever thought about.

I was like an independent school, sure.

But I knew that I needed to leave.

And so I chose a boarding school.

And, you know, against my mother's wishes, against the family wishes, it was like, what do you mean you're going away?

You know, but I knew that during that time, like I needed to get out because if I didn't get out, I wasn't going to get anywhere.

And so that was my way of like, yes, you know, finally there's an opportunity.

So I go to a private boarding school, West Town School, shout out to them outside of Philadelphia.

And if you could imagine, it's a private Quaker school.

So coming from the city and going to a Quaker school, I'm like, okay.

turn to the light.

I was like, oh my goodness, what are you talking about?
