So I am reflecting on the past 10 days with some amazement. Not long after the book release, I found myself contemplating teaching a high school Cisco class. The irony is that I am a lifelong opponent of the Cisco ecosystem, much as I am of the fruit company, so the thought of teaching bright young minds how to utilize the bane of my existence gave me some pause. Eventually I decided to accept the position, and after 5 days in the classroom, I am really glad that I am doing this.
So, now I am a long term substitute teacher, and participating in the craft of opening young minds to help them learn how to learn. It’s a humbling experience to say the least. Telling someone what you know, is nothing like teaching someone what you know. I have yet a new appreciation for all of the teachers that I have had in my life, the formal and unformal alike.
I still want to help people with their financial lives, but this adventure will certainly take a bit of my attention for the near future. I will be instructing for the rest of this school year, and potentially the first half of next school year.
This will be a short detour, but I look forward to helping folks with their personal finances for many years to come.
