Show Notes
This week I am sharing and exclusive look into my first episode of my Live & Learn Patreon podcast designed to share more intimate stories, deeper discussions, and actionable lessons. In this episode, I’m following up on one of the most powerful writing lessons I taught during my 29 years in the classroom as a follow-up to the lesson on "The Danger of a Single Story" TED Talk and Malcolm Gladwell's book Blink that I taught in Episode 3 of Life's Next Lesson Plan. This lesson opens the door to some deeply personal details from my childhood and highlights the importance of perseverance and understanding others’ stories.
