EP 8: 35 Years in Middle School, Life Reflections, and Finding Hope Within Despair with Andy Traisman (Part 2)

Hello, and welcome back to the Shadows Run Podcast! 

Today's episode is part 2 of my conversation with former middle school teacher Andy Traisman. We get deep in this one, diving into what makes 7th and 8th grade such a pivotal age; who we admire and look to as mentors in the world; what life has looked like for Andy post-retirement; and even how to find hope in a world so full of reasons to despair. 

It is my belief that everyone can find something that resonates with them in this conversation, some nugget of wisdom to take forward.
