    Teacher Salary Regrets

    Teacher Salary Regrets

    On this episode, I share how I was so naive back when I started teaching so many years ago.
    I didn't know anything about how to save my low paycheck and how to make my precious dollars work for me so I could retire comfortably. 

    This will be a part of a series of episodes on the mistakes I did in my personal finances. In fact, many people, many teachers struggle with this.  Only in the past couple of years, I've begun to turn it around so that I can leave teaching on my own terms.
    See you in the episode!

    Desparius - The Dragon that Battles Me Everyday

    I didn't want to make this episode.
    I really didn't. 
    But I had to make this episode. I had to in order to move forward.  This episode may sound heavy and metaphysical.  But, I think once you listen to this, you might relate to it.  
    Come, let's hear how Desparius, my great resistance-dragon in life, no matter how insidious it can be, can be tamed.

Good format, wonderful content

I really enjoy listening to Sharon and Fred because the format of this podcast is such that it feels like I'm sitting in the room with them while they discuss the topic of the day. This makes the podcast more engaging and doesn't put me to sleep.

As for the topics and content, Sharon and Fred definitely know their stuff around education and technology. I learn about the state of the art in ed tech as well as regular teaching topics fast and often.
