Show Notes:

Welcome back to the Knowing You Know Nothing podcast! This is Episode 51.

I was honored to have my first character analysis and discussion with fellow educators, Ryan Bailey and Justin Adams. We discussed a foundational understanding of what makes the character of Michael Scott who he is. I enjoyed this conversation and it resulted in many laughs. I hope all of you laugh as much as we did. We each find this a meaningful character that represents something within us all. Listen to the podcast to find our what that is! Thank you for your support!
