Teacher by Trade

Teacher by Trade

Teacher by Trade is a podcast about teachers who run their own businesses, either alongside their teaching careers or as fulltime ventures after leaving the classroom. Teaching is a calling but teachers are curious and creative professionals who manage to transfer their skills from the classroom to so many different industries. We chat to entrepreneurial educators about the highs and lows of owning a business and the unique perspective teachers bring to the world of business.
