Episode Details

When you think about what makes a school successful, you probably don't think about the importance of a strong leader. But without one, there's no way to get the job done.

Welcome to another insightful episode!

That's why we're so excited to bring you this podcast featuring Granville Jones, founder of Fruit of the Spirit Academy (FOSA). In his interview on this episode, he stresses the importance of having a strong leader and positive synergy at FOSA to help students reach their full potential. What he looks for when hiring new staff members at FOSA, why he thinks it's important that they have "the right attitude,"  and how Granville was able to overcome some significant challenges in getting his school off the ground.
