Before Rick and Tisha get serious, they flip the script — starting with Juice Box Confessionals, where Dr. Will Deyamport III takes a trip back to Colecovision, Donkey Kong, and the slow-internet betrayal that had him calling his provider in desperation. Then things get real.
Dr. Will — author of The Edupreneur and host of The Dr. Will Show — makes the case that teachers are already entrepreneurs. They just don't know it yet. From building a personal brand that works for you even when your district doesn't, to teaching students to uncover their gifts instead of just chasing test scores, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom and a few mic drops along the way. Including one piece of advice every educator needs to hear before summer: go buy your own device.
