1.1 Hello world!

20 minutes

This is our very first episode of The Middle School Mind podcast. Today we meet our hosts. For safety and anonymity's sake, we won't use our real names. If we happen to flub our lines in any episodes, you may hear us beep our names out.

Dad is a 40-something marketing professional in the plastics industry. While he likes his job and his team, he likes the idea of retiring well before 65. To help him realize his goal, dad likes to focus on personal finance, developing new income streams and learning about the web, SEO and podcasting.

Son is an 11-year-old 6th grader at a public school in the Midwest. He has been performing in musical theater and enjoys hamming it up and having fun with his acting friends and improv group. He enjoys school and can talk anyone and everyone's ear off forever...hence, starting his own podcast, The Middle School Mind.

We both share our home with mom and 13-year-old older sister who may or may not make appearances on the podcast as well.
