I stumbled across Branching Minds through a job posting, and became so eager to learn as much as possible about the company. I found the podcast and was hooked! Larissa is an awesome host and the platform they are giving MTSS practices is revolutionary.

I really enjoyed listening to your discussion with your CEO at Branching Minds. I hold a lot of the same philosophies as both of you since being an educator for 47 years in the area of special needs. I was a high school Special Ed. teacher for 14 years and then a Special Ed administrator for 16 years as the Director of the program. I’m now semi-retired and still working part time as a school improvement specialist and Sp. Ed. Consultant now for 17 years. I keep thinking I will work myself out of a job and they keep calling me back, lol!! To me, it’s all about relationships and the trust you build while seeking inclusivity and success for children. It was so refreshing hearing Maya say everything she’s doing as a CEO is exactly the same as when she was a teacher. I couldn’t agree more; it’s what guides me as well!! Thank you both for expanding my mind and affirming so much of what is at the core of my existence!! Bravo, Ms. Marty Walter, M. Ed. Dallas, TX
