TCRG TO CEO RADIO

Thank you to Jan, Sarah, and Porter of Beyond Irish Dance podcast for having me as a guest on their show. Check them out at @BeyondIrishDancePod on Instagram and listen on Apple Podcasts & Spotify.

In this episode we're talking all about transfers - how to transfer, what the transfer process looks like, and how to do so in a respectful way. I hope this resource helps both parents, dancers, and teachers navigate a difficult decision in one's dance career.

See you in Dallas for NAIDC!

This episode is dedicated to the late Maureen McTeggart Hall. Maureen founded the McTeggart School in 1939 in Cork City, Ireland, with her three sisters. Peggy, Nancy, Maureen and Betty received instruction in the art of traditional Irish dance from Cormac O’Keefe, of the the great dancing masters of Ireland.

Maureen McTeggart Hall brought the school to the USA in 1959 when she emigrated to California with her husband and seven children. In 1976, Maureen was asked to travel to Colorado and provide instruction to the children of Denver’s Irish-American community.

Since that time the school has grown to include locations in Denver, Englewood, Boulder and Fort Collins, as well as New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Alaska.

Jason speaks about his journey to not one, but two World Championship titles, becoming a TCRG, and how he left the Irish dance world professionally. He enjoys supporting Irish dancing as a fan and former dancer and we discuss how he found peace with stepping back from teaching.

Listener Question: What do I do if I outgrow my school?

Live show at NAIDC?? Sound off!

In today's main event, we discuss how to plan for profit in our financial health series. This episode would have lended itself better to a format with video and screen sharing but hopefully all the math doesn't get too confusing.
