Tales from a Bucket List Champ29 Dec 2019

Teach for America Nearly Killed Me

Note from Kiki: The Kid, as we decided to call him—a bit of an anti-hero—not only made it to 22 without injury or prison, he's now 40 years old with a beautiful wife and family. It's my honor to still be in touch with this inspiring young man who taught me more than I taught him.

Here's what people are saying:

“Amazing podcast. Thanks for sharing your story. You are an inspiration for many. So excited for Season 2.” — Beth R.

"Whoa! Once again—so brave of you to share such personal stories and this traumatic incident... When I play back in my head the podcast, I don't experience the replay in audio, I remember it as if had been a visual movie... My reaction was, 'Wait, what? What do you mean that's the end of the Season!?... When is Season 2 to learn more?' So presuming a goal of a podcast is leaving people wanting to go to a second season, then Success!" — Bonnie M.
