Wealthy Teachers

by Drs. Lindsay and Derek Padilla

Dr. Lindsay Padilla and Dr. Derek Padilla explore the teaching and business lives of their guests as well as their own backgrounds. And how these two identities shape one another. Each interview traces the story behind their choices, the challenges they faced, and the mindset it takes to start a business (whether on the side or to leave teaching for good). If you've ever felt bound by the walls of your institution, then you'll want to listen to these stories of your fellow teaching misfits who are using their knowledge to build profitable businesses.
