This is simple. I'm Tishauksen writer.

In this episode I'm talking to Rissy Lundberg, a math teacher.

More on her in just a second, but listeners first, I've got a job for you.

If you like this podcast, whether you've been listening for years, or if this is your first week to discover it and you've been

binging, after you're done listening to this one, I want you to pick one of your favorite episodes

so far, and I want you to either text or email that specific episode to a friend you think would like it.

You can find them all at the simple show.com or if you've subscribed in your podcast player

which is the best way to never miss an episode so go do that too if you haven't. in your

player,

player, just scroll through the episodes in your player,

find the share button and send it along to the person you have in mind.

I personally use overcast, and in there the button looks

like a square with an up arrow coming out the top. By sharing a specific episode

to someone in your life you're doing the grassroots work of helping the show grow and it takes you maybe one minute and

zero dollars.

I really, really truly appreciate it and of course thank you for being a listener.

You're the reason I can do what I do here. Okay, back to Rissy. For most of us right now it's the start of a new school year so I figured what better way to celebrate

the amazing work our kids teachers do in their lives then share a conversation I've had with

one. Rissy is a math teacher at an all-girls school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and she's part of a mathematics department made up entirely of women, which is actually pretty rare even in a girls school.

She absolutely adores what she does, both getting her hands dirty in math and

inspiring girls to love it as much as she does. So without further ado here is

Rissy Lundberg math teacher.
