Rule of 80

After retiring, moving, and beginning a new chapter, Jason discovered something unexpected...he missed teaching. In this episode, we talk about his journey back into the classroom as a middle school science teacher, the experiences that reminded him why he started, and the college-football connection that brought our families together.

Because sometimes retirement isn’t about stopping, it’s about rediscovering what still brings you purpose.

Rule of 80: Because the next chapter might be the best one yet!

Margie Siegel spent 30 years in education and has now been retired for about 20 years, and retirement certainly didn’t mean slowing down.

In Episode 003 of Rule of 80, we talk about teaching, retirement, travel, New York, St. Louis, and the memories that stay with us long after the classroom years are over.

Margie is one of those people who is simply easy to listen to, and this conversation felt more like sitting around the table with an old friend than recording a podcast.
