On this special episode, I am presenting a Master Class from Dr. Robyn Jackson's interview for The Edupreneur: Making the impact and the income. This episode follows Dr. Robyn's journey to becoming an edupreneur and is filled with gems on top of gems on how to become a successful edupreneur. The Edupreneur is a 2019 documentary film that takes you on a journey into the successes and challenges of some of the most recognized names in K-12 education consulting. The interviews feature eight edupreneurs discussing their lives and careers as educators and entrepreneurs.
After listening to this Master Class, you can go over to Vimeo to purchase your digital copy of The Edupreneur to hear from some of the country's most successful edupreneurs in the game.
This is what buyers have been saying about The Edupreneur:
"As an ed tech entrepreneur myself, the stories of the featured individuals really resonated with me, and reminded me that success doesn't happen overnight. These individuals have passion, work incredibly hard, and most importantly they believe in themselves and their ideas and products enough to persevere through the ups and downs of starting and growing a business. Worth a watch if you are an educator with a great idea for a business!" - Dr. Kristen Slack
"This collection of stories and tips from those in the field living the dream of doing well by doing good is something I wish I had found five years ago when I started my own journey. It was like listening to myself tell those coming up as aspiring eduprenuers what to do, how to stay balanced and, most importantly, they WHY of making a difference in your own unique way. Plus I gleaned additional insights I hadn't thought of. I have since recommended this film to others I know. It's a must-see for any educator considering stepping outside the school walls either in person or online to live their passion!" - Sara Ottow

About Dr. Robyn Jackson:
As a school administrator, you are facing pressure to improve your school, and yet, sometimes it seems that no one around you is feeling the same sense of urgency. Maybe they are resistant to your vision. Or maybe, they buy into your vision, but don't have the skills needed to make it a reality.
I get it. It can be frustrating when teachers don't support your vision, appreciate your efforts, or feel a real sense of urgency to improve. And, it can be really discouraging when they don't take advantage of the supports you provide. Some feedback conversations end in push-back or hurt feelings. And sometimes, they refuse to be accountable and this can destroy your school culture.
I teach a simple 4 step process that helps you improve teacher will AND skill so that you can achieve your vision for your school with the people you already have. No more waiting for others to get on board before you can reach your goals. No more having your vision be held hostage by the resistant, but vocal few.
