In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

In this episode, host Dr. Tamara Thomas has an in-depth conversation with Dr. Cynthia Simons, the principal credited with ushering in remarkable change at Warren County High School. After ten years of academic stagnation and persistent challenges, Dr. Simons stepped into the principal role in 2023, bringing her over twenty-five years of experience and a passion for educational excellence. In just one year, Dr. Simons led the school to break free from its long-standing struggles, achieving overall academic growth and seeing every student subgroup meet or exceed achievement targets. Her approach? A combination of setting clear, high expectations, fostering a culture of collaboration, leveraging data to inform instruction, and making every staff member and student feel seen and supported. Dr. Simons discusses how she navigated the initial challenges of taking over a low-performing school, built trust with staff and the community, and created structures, like student and parent advisory committees, that empowered all voices within the school. She also opens up about the importance of recognizing big and small wins, and how transparency and intentionality made all the difference.

Dr. Simons doesn’t just talk strategy—she shows what it looks like to lead with courage, conviction, and care. Her story is a masterclass in what happens when expectations are high, data is transparent, and relationships come first. You’ll walk away with practical takeaways on instructional leadership, culture-building, and mobilizing a team toward a shared vision. But more than that, you’ll be reminded that even the most entrenched challenges can be overcome with the right mix of vision and heart.
