Ben Lindy currently serves as the president of the Cincinnati Pubiic Schools School Board. His work in education for the last two decades has evolved and is now driven by his experience as a classroom teacher, law school, Harvard, getting a education non-profit off the ground and most importantly being a parent.
Ben has seen extraordinary things happen in education and the most profound being watching students devour the opportunity to learn and be great members and leaders in this country. He explains, once you see what is possible, you can't un-see it and this is what drives Ben to do the work he does in education.
In this episode Ben and I talk parenting, politics (don't let that scare you), rage, hope, stories about his former students and so much more! I can't believe we fit so much into 30 minutes!
Listen to how Ben's passion his work on the policy end of things and how he goes about working to change the face of education.
