In this episode, Education doesn’t just change one life—it changes generations. In this episode of the Clark Connection Podcast, Aaron Clark sits down with Jeri Prochaska, President of Business Development at Conext and Co-Executive Director of CSPEN, to explore how educational opportunities create real, lasting life transformation.

Jeri shares powerful success stories from the front lines of education—moments where students become the first in their families to walk across the graduation stage… individuals move from earning ten dollars an hour to sustaining their families with confidence… and communities experience a ripple effect of growth, stability, and opportunity.

This conversation dives into:

- How education unlocks personal growth and life-changing success

- Why first-generation graduates are reshaping entire family lines

- The connection between learning, confidence, and long-term stability

- Real stories of students breaking barriers and transforming their futures

- How community-focused educational programs impact families and local economies

If you’re passionate about leadership, community impact, personal growth, and real transformation, this episode will challenge and inspire you. Jeri’s experience working with students and institutions across the country offers a clear reminder: education is more than a milestone—it's a catalyst for a better future.
