Welcome to the Teacher Career Coach podcast with your new host, Elizabeth Sudo.

She started her teaching career in 2014. She found she needed a career change after all the changes that pandemic brought to the teaching world.

So she transitioned outside of the classroom into an administrative assistant role and now works as an operations manager for a tech startup.

Get ready for discussions on all things related to teacher transitions, interview prep,

addressing burnout in the classroom, and so much more. Here's your host, Elizabeth Sudo.

Today, I interview former teacher Morgan Mason. Morgan was a second grade teacher she taught

all throughout the pandemic and made it three years before she started to feel stuck she had

severe burnout and craved something more Morgan found the teacher career coach podcast when she

was searching for teachers transitioning to new careers

and was instantly hooked. She also found aspireship in She codes through Daphne's resources.

She dove in headfirst, which helped her pivot into sales and now customer success.

Join us today for a great session about transitioning from teaching to sales and then from sales to customer success.

Hope you enjoy. Welcome, Morgan.

Thank you for having me. I was super excited.

We're so excited to have you and learn from you today.

So we'd like to start off and hear a little bit about your classroom experience.

What got you into teaching

in the first place? Yeah, great question. I did not think as a little kid that I would be a teacher.

Teaching came out of nowhere in school. I actually thought I would be a doctor my entire life.

I wanted to be an anesthesiologist, was really shooting for the stars there. Got into college was like, this is not for me.

I've got to make a career transition or figure out what route I want to go.

And I actually got to kind of shadow a teacher and fell in love with it.
