Welcome to episode 252 of The Wired Educator Podcast!
In this episode, I interview Scott Borba, an inspiring education leader and author of The Leader You’re Not… and Why It’s Just as Important as the Leader You Are. This conversation will speak to your heart, sharpen your mind, and give you what you need to lead with more awareness this year. Scott and I connected deeply, and the wisdom he shares will benefit every educator committed to growth.
