David shared the relaunch of the podcast focusing on all things microschools and the vision going forward as follows. 

• This is a podcast about all things microschools.
• It will share the nuts and bolts of opening and running a successful microschool.
• He will share leadership development tips and tricks.
• He will share how to embody an entrepreneurship mindset.
• He wants this podcast to help anyone in the process whether they join Changemaker Education officially or not. 

He then shared a little about what Changemaker Education does: 

• It is a network of affiliate microschools that incubate paradigm shifting microschools across the country.
• It is unique because it is a network but founders have autonomy. 
• Founders license the mind, body, soul curriculum, the brand, and the support and community in exchange for a revenue share once they open.
• Founders are provided with the support they need from budget to student recruitment to curriculum to facility procurement. 

Then David shared Changemaker Education was created:

• We believe that we are in a massive time of change and we need the people in the community that know and care about the kids to create real change on the ground. 
• We believe that it is the grassroots and the people on the ground that will create lasting impact in education. 
• We see the microschools movement as one key driver of this change and want to create the conditions to support founders with a vision for a life changing microschool to get it off the ground. 

Then he made a call to action for the changemakers listening and his calling to lead this effort: 

Part of the goal for this podcast is to reach the people that have this dream to launch a microschool, or be part of a founding team to get one off the ground. 

This is a call for the educators, care takers, parents, community members who see that we need change and are willing to commit to being part of the solution. 

If you are committed and all in to create the change and ready to follow your dream, we want  you to be part of this movement. 

We are at the forefront of a massive transformation and paradigm shift. This is not for people that are looking to maintain the status quo or tweak around the edges. This is a call for radical change, and a call to reimagine the way we do school and create proof points all across the country and the world that this is possible. 

I have been in education reform for over 25 years and am super excited about the opportunities for change. I want to gather the people that will do it in the best way for kids. 

I have worked in all different types of schools: public charter, traditional public, and private schools and I have seen what happens when you create intimate learning environments where kids are at the center and parents are engaged in the process. 

I have been called as a changemaker and am inspired to lead the charge to gather the other changemakers that are ready. 

Changemaking is not easy. People like to keep things the way they are. But we can do it together. We can do it arm and arm and heart to heart one student, one microschool, and one community at a time. 

I hope you will join us. Please follow Changemaker Education on Linked in and check out our website: changemakereducation.com
