Your GRADUATION Story
I knew from first-hand experience how effective magic could be in a classroom from my own personal experience of working in the school system, but I had no idea how to translate that into something that could be useful for teachers who were not "magicians." I would use magic myself all of the time when I was there, but I moved on with other career opportunities. Through the years, I kept thinking about how valuable it was for the handful of teachers and students I taught some of my techniques to. So I had an idea for a course as a way to share these skills so more teachers could develop classrooms that were not only fun but also conducive to opening minds and showing students that there were a lot of incredible ways to look at solving problems and moving through life. I dabbled in creating content for a few years off and on, but never seemed to be able to move the project to the finish line. Flash forward 10 years into the future, and with my son now attending high school, I saw firsthand how teachers were drowning in lack of engagement and motivation, cell phones, social media, and an antiquated education system in many ways. I saw teacher friends completely burning out and my son and his friends being bored to death. So I knew it was timely to get this idea out to the world. I joined EPM with no real idea of how I was going to accomplish this. With so many distractions in my own world, how could I even get close to pulling off this course in the way that I envisioned while working full time on other projects, raising a kiddo etc. I took the leap anyway. The program has been life-changing for me. I now have a program thought out and ready to share with the world and it all happened through the extraordinary planning, coaching, and thought that was put into the EPM program. I was challenged, but in many ways, it also felt effortless. What a ride, and here I am ready to share what was once only an idea and a dream with the world. When I think of the kids and teachers who are going to benefit from this, I am filled with authentic joy. Real magic.
I have a clear mission to help others with my art The ability to focus and put my wild ideas into a real product Imperfect action and patience to not give up and jump to the next flashy thing I now feel like I can develop and turn all of my fun ideas into real products that help people
