Teacher by Trade
educators turned entrepreneurs
Kelly Harrison · Andrew Menczel
Show overview
Teacher by Trade has been publishing since 2021, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 16 episodes. That works out to roughly 10 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 27 min and 45 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Society & Culture show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.3 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 8 episodes published. Published by Andrew Menczel.
From the publisher
Teacher by Trade is a podcast about teachers who run their own businesses, either alongside their teaching careers or as fulltime ventures after leaving the classroom. Teaching is a calling but teachers are curious and creative professionals who manage to transfer their skills from the classroom to so many different industries. We chat to entrepreneurial educators about the highs and lows of owning a business and the unique perspective teachers bring to the world of business.
