At This Time … we’re tracing Theo Smith’s journey from high school math teacher to talent leader and fractional executive matchmaker. From learning the ropes of recruitment under a TFA alum legend to proving his nonprofit chops translate in the for-profit world, Theo breaks down how he leveled up his skill set—without losing his passion for professional development.
