About This Podcast
Have you ever asked a question? Been in a classroom? Felt curious about how the world works? Or wondered how we can all keep learning, no matter our age or role?
Then you’re in the right place… because I Have Questions.
Hosted by Michael Ruhland—business owner, former soldier, educator, coach, mentor, administrator, husband, father, and lifelong learner—I Have Questions with Michael Ruhland is a podcast built around curiosity, learning, and the power of asking better questions. After spending more than two decades working in public education, Mike believes the most important thing we can do is stay curious and keep asking questions.
Each episode blends personal stories, conversations with inspiring people, and reflections on life in and around the classroom. Mike talks with teachers, students, parents, and everyday learners about the moments when curiosity changes how we think, learn, and grow. Drawing inspiration from great thinkers, history, and everyday experiences, the podcast explores what it means to be both a teacher and a learner at the same time.
This isn’t a professional development course—it’s a reminder of the joy of curiosity we all had as children and how we can bring it back into our busy lives. Whether you’re an educator, student, parent, or simply someone who wants to learn more about the world, there’s no age requirement and no job title needed to join the conversation.
In our time together, the goal is simple: help you feel relaxed, refreshed, curious, and ready to ask more questions.
And along the way, you might even discover some fascinating answers to questions you didn’t know you had.
Are you ready? Good. Because… I Have Questions.
