What if staying in one place could take you everywhere?

In this conversation, Corrie opens up about:

• Her journey from speller to national leader

• Launching the Beelieve Fund to expand access

• Why the Bee’s impact goes far beyond a trophy

• Navigating leadership and imposter syndrome

• What it means to serve something bigger than yourself

🎧 Listen in as we celebrate one of the most enduring institutions in American education—and the leader helping it evolve for the next 100 years.
