Episode 160: Luke Skywalker And Katniss Everdeen Can Help You Solve Your Most Expensive Problem
I know that the title of today’s episode is a little bizarre, but just trust me. I promise, by the end of this episode, you’re going to see how the heroes from The Hunger Games and Star Wars can help your school save tens of thousands of dollars every year.
I want you to imagine that every gas station in your town, except one, suddenly started charging $28 a gallon instead of $4. Would you drive across town to buy the cheaper gas? Yes!

Thanks for making a difference,

Being a private school leader is a VERY difficult job. You have to make hundreds of decisions every day, and you have to keep everyone safe, increase enrollment, keep the parents happy, keep the board happy, motivate the teachers, deal with student discipline, beat last year’s test scores and come in under budget.
That can lead to you feeling tired, discouraged and stressed out. I’ve been there. That’s why I created THRIVE Academy just for you. THRIVE Academy is a digital course that will help you get out of survival mode and get back to feeling e
