Episode #14: Valentina Mendoza "Is having a passion a real thing?"
This week brings you the ever talented, hardworking, down to earth Valentina Mendoza. It's her second year teaching various music classes at the high school level, and it's apparent she's made huge changes in her school already. Not only has she worked her tail off to support herself from a very young age, but she's experienced immense joy and success along the way.
In this episode we talk about the hardships of building classes and curriculums, what passion really means, and how to help our students get through school and flourish - when flourishing is the last thing on their minds. I promise she will bring you laughter, reassurance, and clarity.

Episode #16: Brian Goodman "Make a lasting impression."
In this episode, Brian speaks about so many integral parts of teaching that aren't covered in the textbooks. We chat about what things to consider before getting a masters. We laugh about how groggy students are in the morning. Going even deeper, he confesses to us that teaching has helped him develop into a more open person. You won't want to miss this one. It's chalked (hehe) full of practical advice and down-to-earth perspective. Brian is one successful person, musician, and educator. I believe listening to this episode will help you become a little more of those things, too.
