Dr. Andrea Terrero Gabbadon (@AndreaTGabbadon) - The Author and The Edupreneur (Part One)
Welcome, listeners, to a very special episode of The Dr. Will Show Podcast, where I Zoom in edupreneurs to talk about how you can turn your teacher skills into dollar bills. Today, we have a unique two-part series that promises to be both insightful and entertaining. In this special edition, I am joined by Dr. Andrea Terrero Gabbadon, an educator, author, and educational consultant. Dr. Andrea has recently published a transformative book titled "Support and Retain Educators of Color: 6 Principles for Culturally Affirming Leadership." This book is a must-read for anyone passionate about creating inclusive and supportive educational environments. But that’s not all! In the second part of this series, we’re flipping the script. Dr. Andrea will take over the interviewer’s seat to question me about my latest book, "The Edupreneur: Your Blueprint To Jumpstart And Scale Your Education Business." We’ll dive into the world of edupreneurship, sharing gems from the book on how educators can leverage their expertise to create impactful educational businesses.
