Birthday Episode!! In this three parter, you will hear from my nephew and what he loves (and we share a birthday, so obviously he loves me enough to join me), my business teach from senior year of high school, and then the tables turn and she asks me advice I would give for students in high school.

Brenda Saunders has been teaching business and law at Greenwich High School in upstate New York for 24 years. She's also run the school's internship program, taught family consumer sciences, and somehow managed to be the safe space for countless students who needed a mentor.

This is Kayleigh's birthday episode - a conversation with the teacher who changed her mind about business when she was absolutely convinced she'd never go into it. Learn how Brenda went from being a college dropout working in insurance to becoming one of the most influential teachers in a small upstate New York town. Plus: why saying no is harder than it looks, how one name in a hat led to a 24-year career, and what it really takes to build a safe space for teenagers.
