Hi Ed. This is Tech.

We have a very special episode this week. It’s just Anna and Rob! You all submitted your questions, and they answered. They also reminisce on their favorite conversations and what they’ve learned through almost 20 episodes. Check it out, and let us know what you think.

So that could be you. How can you stand out? That’s what we’re talking about this week with Laura Litton, the Director of Success at LiveSchool (for four days as of recording!) Prior to that she led Customer Success at Screencastify and played a pivotal role in growing it into a $20 million company. this is all to say: Laura knows how to grow highly effective Customer SUccess teams, and she’s giving out great advice on this episode with our transitioning teacher, Tiffany Hazelbaker.

This is a good one y'all. We have Jordan Campbell, who is a former teacher turned marketing manager, and the wonderful transitioning teacher, Amanda Hall, joining Anna. But this episode isn't just about marketing. It's about owning all of the work you did as a teacher and in side projects you didn't even realize were relevant. We talk about how to assess different careers, why getting focused matters, and what you could put in a portfolio. We also get deep about the fact that even after your transition there will be challenges. 

This week we're joined by Andrew McGowan, the sales leader who gave Rob his first job in edtech, and Micki Fryhover, a transitioning teacher looking for a job in sales. We talk all about why it's important to walk the walk throughout the application process, how to nail interview assessments, and what hiring managers look for in sales hires. ------> Audio fixed, y'all :)

Scrum Master? Project Manager? Business Analyst? In this episode, we have Agile expert and enthusiast, Perry Goldman, and teacher, Orli Barker, joining for a conversation on behind-the-scenes work at a tech company!
