Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Jeroen De Boer asks, “Hey Gary. Being a teacher, i sometimes use the information in your podcast to give general overview of a topic and get the children interested and excited before they dive in deeper. Have you ever considered teaching?”

Jeroen, the short answer is…..no. At least not in the way that you probably are asking.

I used to be an academic debate coach in which I worked in schools and had an upfront exposure to the educational system. The one thing I came away from it with was an absolute lack of desire ever to be a teacher.

I saw the bureaucracy that teachers had to deal with I didn’t want to have to deal with that.

That being said, between coaching and this podcast, I’d say I am a teacher. The difference is that I don’t lecture in a classroom.
