At the top of the show I pulled the quote "Listen to Your Life. All moments are key moments." ~Frederick Buechner, and discussed the quiet moments that coalesced into my decision to start doing stand-up comedy.
Then I summarized the amazing memoir "The Education of Eva Moscovitz". (https://amzn.to/4kBtYqu) Ms. Moskovitz is the founder of Success Academy Charter Schools, a network of 57 public schools that has had a 100% college acceptance rate for eight years in a row and vastly outperforms traditional public schools.
This book was a fantastic primer on:
- Understanding why American public schools (at least in large cities) are underperforming
- Understanding why charter schools are "controversial"
- Clarifying the challenges of politics in America
- Get inspired by what one person can do! A reader walks way with the sense that Eva Moskowitz is the example not the exception.
It's a non-fiction book that reads like fiction! Give it a go. You'll learn a lot and be inspired. Buy it here: https://amzn.to/4kBtYqu
