    105 | E-Sport Entrepreneur | Chris Martin

    Send us a text Episode 105 | Hello and welcome to Celebrating Differnces, a podcast where we interview interesting people who are making a difference in the world.  I had a chance to talk with Chris Martin about his work as a American History teacher at an Austin Middle School and especially his work as a E-Sport Entrepreneur. Its ok if you don't know what that is because I didn't either. Chris and I had a great time investigating this new generation of school sports that takes advantage of modern technology to teach students some very important life skills. Chris has created a company to provide services to schools in this area so students that want to take part aren't held back by a financial consideration.  We also talked with Chris about his background and how he got interested in teaching in the first place. We laughed over the fact that the one class in which Chris ever got a failing grade was History and that is where he has made his career.
