In this leadership episode of the PBL Simplified Podcast for Administrators, host Ryan Steuer sits down with David Richards — founder of Growth Public Schools, Changemaker Micro Schools, and host of the Changemaker EDU podcast. David shares his journey from corporate banking to education entrepreneurship, his “why” rooted in serving students who don’t fit the traditional model, and how micro schools are redefining education for the next decade.

The conversation dives deep into learner-centered design, micro school development, district innovation, and the leadership mindset needed to create transformative change within schools of any size.
