On this episode, Tyler invites another member of the Bettendorf Gang, Allie, to the podcast! Allie talks about her early years of growing up in Kansas, near many of her extended family members, and summers going to her grandparents’ lake house. She describes how her mom’s daycare and her experiences during elementary school led her to wanting to become an early childhood educator. Finally, Allie describes her college years at Iowa State University, getting to room with her best friend, Rimu, for three years, and spending a semester in Hawaii. The theme of this episode is determination and to follow your passions, no matter the obstacle.
