In this episode Mike and Glen discuss discuss the importance of transparency with educational influencers, whether school reopening plans will fail and our guest this week is innovative educator and CEO of Ready Learner One Micah Shippee.
Guest: Micah Shippee
We LOVE talking about 'what's next' and so it was a no-brainer to have Micah on the podcast to talk about that with us. He leads a company that is leading the way in terms of thinking about VR, Esports and how new technologies can intersect with education and the corporate world. This was a great conversation!
