Find Your Grind Podcast
Season 3: Find Your Grind team members sit down and get the raw opinion from educators, principals and education professionals on all things that contribute to more future ready educators, future ready students and future ready schools.
Seasons 1+2: People are told every day that their unique passion can't be a job. We disagree. The Find Your Grind podcast explores the ever-evolving possibilities from lifestyles to career. Entrepreneurs and cultural influencers. Artists and musicians. Mavericks and misfits. Each week, the Find Your Grind founders speak with guests about the first 10% of their personal journey, decisions that led them where they are today, and how they build their ideas from finding their grind.
