We are fortunate to have George Couros on today’s podcast. Originally an educator in Canada, George is an Innovative Teaching, Learning and Leadership consultant based in Florida.

I had the opportunity to participate in a workshop led by Couros last month at my school, and I’m currently reading his book The Innovator’s Mindset. I’ve really enjoyed applying his message and approaches for encouraging an innovator's mindset in my classroom … and also in my basketball coaching.

Couros is also a basketball junkie. He played the game growing up and also has experience as a coach and referee. He's a proud season-ticket holder to the Orlando Magic.
