Episode 10 brings you my conversation with Liz Fontenot who is also Fun to Know, a friend I’ve known and lived down the street from for just about as long as I can remember! We discussed her career path, our time together for all of K-12, and got a little more deep as we talked about losing loved ones and the importance of putting kindness out into the world. In the show notes I put a link to the animal adoption group Liz volunteers with, Fort Worth Abandoned Animal Alliance, if you want to learn more! I hope you enjoy our conversation!

What a good guest we have for today’s episode. Casey Latham Muckley and I went to the same high school, and have also taught at the same high school. We discussed a wide range of topics, like why I didn’t include her name in the giant maze I drew on my bedroom wall, and how college kids can have fun in a small-town Walmart, and how we tried to keep our students engaged during COVID lockdowns. It was so good to catch up with her and I hope you enjoy our talk!
