Schurtz & Ties

About the Hosts

Two complementary voices exploring the real work of leading, teaching, and being human—one story, one hard question, and one honest conversation at a time.

Brian T. Miller

About Brian T. Miller

Brian brings more than two decades of experience in education, leadership, and community building. As a principal, writer, and storyteller, he approaches leadership with a blend of honesty, curiosity, and compassion. His voice is grounded, reflective, and unafraid to name the real tensions leaders face.

He explores the emotional, human side of leadership — the side often overlooked but always felt. Through stories, analogies, and practical frameworks, Brian helps listeners connect purpose to practice and leadership to life.

Brian is known for his phrase: “It’s gonna be a good time or a good story.”

And in every episode, he proves that leadership can be both.

Kasey Schurtz

About Kasey Schurtz

Kasey is the analytical backbone and strategic mind of the duo. With years of experience supporting schools, teachers, and systems, he brings clarity to complexity and structure to the chaos leaders face daily.

Kasey has a gift for asking precise, meaningful questions — the ones that unravel root causes, challenge assumptions, and reframe problems into possibilities. He is equal parts coach, listener, and strategist, committed to helping leaders move from intention to action.

His humor, humility, and razor-sharp insight make him the perfect conversational counterweight to Brian’s storytelling. Together, they create a balance of heart and clarity, reflection and strategy.
