Let’s have a candid chat about social media for small businesses. It’s no secret that it’s only gotten harder to grow on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, but what else is happening in this online space?
I brought my Marketing Manager, Taylor, on to chat with me about everything we’ve learned firsthand. We share our highs and lows as well as our insights into what’s working for us on the platforms. If you’re a small business owner struggling with social media - here’s what you need to know about the marketing strategy that truly lifted my business off the ground a few years ago.

There are five tools that I couldn’t run my business without and they’re all very user-friendly.
These tools support me everyday in creating, maintaining, organizing, designing, and marketing my small businesses. With these online tools, it’s like I have an entire in-house team helping me out. They help me do what I need to do and they keep me organized when working with my marketing manager, sponsors, and guests.
If you’re a small business owner or just looking for new tools to support your EdTech team, these are the ones you need to try.
Today, we're diving into a crucial topic that often doesn't get the attention it deserves: leaving a job with integrity.
While much emphasis is placed on making a great first impression when starting a new job, the way you exit a role can have an even more lasting impact on your career and relationships.
The EdTech industry is a very, very, very small space. You want to do the best you possible can to keep your reputation in tact. I still do business with both EdTech companies I worked with ten years ago. I also work closely in a recruiting aspect with many individuals I worked with at my second EdTech job.
Why? Because I left both roles with total class and my relationships in tact.

Every job description for an operations role in EdTech looks different. That’s because operations looks different for every EdTech company and might require different skill sets.
In this episode of the EdTech Connect podcast, we’ll explore what’s being said about education requirements in job searches, why you need a better resume for recruiters, and finally, what operations roles can look like across EdTech. I’ll share why operations looks different for every company and how you can know if it’s the right fit for you.
This episode is packed with information for the EdTech professional and the transitioning educator alike.

When I knew it was time to leave teaching, it was a tough decision. I wanted a career that would allow me to make a difference in the world and within education, but I also wanted growth, more money, and goals and aspirations.
10 years later, I’ve left teaching, worked for two different EdTech companies, and created two successful businesses.
Here’s how I managed to network as a newly former teacher to land my first role outside of the classroom, use my transferable skills from teaching to excel in my customer success role, and turn those skills into the foundation of my career as an entrepreneur.

Not everyone transitions directly from teaching full-time to EdTech. There are a ton of different ways in which those working in education find themselves looking for more. Even though you’re not in a teaching role, maybe you’ve found that the path to your ideal role isn’t as straightforward as you imagined.
We’ll explore how Chelsea Moore landed her role with the Texas Education Agency, what that role looks like, self expression in the workplace, and Chelsea’s advice on networking.
Having never taught in the classroom, here’s why Chelsea joined Classroom to Boardroom and how it helped her transition into her first role outside of education.
