Insightful and Inspiring

Kristin and Hilary bring honest insight on not only the world of education, but on how you can go beyond teaching to become successful in your own enterprise. Their conversations present this in a charming and engaging manner that you can't help but be swept up in. Even though I'm not a teacher myself, I find their topics relatable to struggles in my own job. And their story of finding a better way through entrepreneurship gives a compelling insight into what is possible.
