The Portal Interview

For those who don't know, I have a day job. That's probably pretty obvious by everything I've said thus far in my blogs. The idea of being a full-time, self-sustaining author is in fact that: an idea. Likely, it will remain an idea, and never break into the world of reality. Which is fine, as this is a gifting that I greatly enjoy as a hobby right now.

I also greatly enjoy my day job at PA Leadership Charter School. It is a cyber charter in PA, serving 2,500 students in K-12. In late October 2004, I left a job I had just started (a good opportunity at that) in order to join this school in it's first few months of existence. It was a start up, i.e. crazy, uncertain, riddled with challenges. I loved it. Since then, I've had the opportunity to build something that changes lives every day. It's been an honor, and everytime I've considered doing something else, or working somewhere else, I've doubled down and stayed with PALCS. I believe in it.

Recently, my writing self and my PALCS self collided. Here's the interview where it happened. (I work with some fun people).
