I’ve been thinking and planning this for a while. Some of you even heard me talk about it 5 years ago, but I’ve decided that today is the day.

It was going to be interviews with people in the field that I admired, and then it was going to be me reading blogs that other professionals had written (as they do in Optimal Living Daily), and it may include those things, but what I think will be most helpful, is a podcast of teaching tips. Things I, and other teachers, have learned throughout our careers that I can share with teachers on the podcast and make their day a little easier, but where to start?
