ABOUT THE SHOW

The business of running schools deserves better conversations.

WHY WE STARTED THE SHOW


School leaders don't need more theory. They need to hear how their peers solved it.

Whether you like it or not... you’re running a business. And if the business runs smoothly, the organization can flourish (AKA your staff can focus on the students!).

The purpose of this show is to make offline conversations about the business challenges of running efficient schools accessible to the broader charter school community.

Through candid topical conversations with Founders, CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and industry leaders, we explore the behind-the-scenes decisions, challenges, and lessons that shape successful schools

Our goal is simple: help school leaders learn from the experiences, successes, and hard-earned lessons of their peers.
