Beyond the Roles host Ramira Alamilla revisits the goals of the podcast, which are to get a sense of the needs of various individuals within the educational system while providing a forum where those individuals can share their stories and experiences. The first season presents an array of varied perspectives of the educational system, revealing awe-inspiring everyday people who are making a difference with their unique combinations of skills, strengths and motivations. In this episode, Ramira shares some patterns and questions that have emerged for her from their stories.

The connections made with each guest have been the most rewarding and unexpected outcome of these conversations. Thank you to each one, for sharing and having the courage to appear on a podcast for the first time. And thank you to all who kept the momentum of these conversations going, through a ripple effect of making recommendations of other guests, as well as learning from those who contributed here. Most of all, a huge thanks to all those who are listening.
