Listen "Define Your Why"
Episode Synopsis
Before social media, there was education trendsetter and digital pioneer Barbara Bray. This week, Jerri and Jamie sit down with Barbara to discuss her upcoming book, plus her advice for finding your why.
Tune in to hear story weaver, podcast host, and education coach extraordinaire Barbara share her take on finding your purpose using the Japanese concept of "Ikigai" or "reason for being." She'll also share a sneak peek into her latest book, which hits shelves this fall and is designed to help readers further their understanding of their own purpose.
