Episode 12—Don‘t Be Dusty with Van Phillips, Jr.

Van Phillips Jr. is a former paraprofessional and 6-year-veteran educator who has successfully taught and coached hundreds of students. He currently teaches 5th grade English Language Arts and Social Studies in Louisiana. Similar to myself, Mr. Phillips is a bonafide hustler passionate about his educational career, yet seeking alternative ways to secure multiple streams of income to build generational wealth. His experience and passion is well conveyed in our discussion. We discuss how he became an educator, his persistence through the Praxis exams, handling negative perceptions about the teaching profession, teaching with passion, maintaining your appearance, self-care and much more. This is an episode to save and listen to over and over again.
