    Hi Kate and Mike! I’m a regular listener, and I look forward to each episode every week! I’m from a tiny town in Montana. I’m a high school English teacher, not an entrepreneur, but I still find your stories, guests, and advice very interesting and helpful. In particular, I’m excited to jump on board with the ‘Do Less’ experiment. I want to see how doing less in my classroom, and focusing instead on the skills that really matter, might improve my students’ learning experience as well as my teaching experience.

    Thanks for all the good work you do!
    -Beth

      That is such a cool application of the Do Less idea. Please report back on how it goes! I’d love to hear what your students think! And thanks for listening!
