In this episode of Bold Women Collective Backstory, Jolene Levine sits down with Lisa Schmucki — founder and CEO of EdWeb.org — whose career journey spans accounting firms, ad agencies, and ultimately, the creation of one of the most dynamic professional learning communities for educators in the world.

From a pivotal moment on the porch with her daughter to building a global network of over a million educators, Lisa shares how intuition, persistence, and deep listening shaped the future of EdWeb. We talk about flexible PD, unlocking educator choice, and why librarians made the best beta testers. Her story is a must-listen for anyone building with heart, mission, and scale.
