I'm thrilled to announce the newest title sponsor of the Aspire to Lead podcast is Smore! 🎉 As an administrator, I constantly faced the challenge of effective communication with parents and the community. The big question that always came up: Are our school newsletters going unread?

Review the Podcast

I want to give a huge shout out to those who have taken the time to provide a review on Apple, Spotify or any other podcast platform. It truly means the world to me that you would take the 30- 90 seconds to share how the podcast has positively impacted you or why other educators should check out the show.
