Hey everyone, just a quick note, this episode first ran back in October of twenty seventeen. Hope you enjoy it. When I walked into Ross Perot's office, I I felt like I was at the end. Like I had tried everything. I had tried to access everyone and I knew either he supports this or I just really don't know where else to turn. So I I literally told myself
I won't leave his office. I'm gonna glue myself to the chair in his office and I'm not gonna leave until he commits. From NPR, it's how I built this. a show about innovators, entrepreneurs, idealists, and the stories behind the movements they built.
Guy Raz and on the show today, how Wendy Cobb convinced graduates from some of the top universities to forget Wall Street. Forget law school. Forget big money. And instead Become a teacher. Mm-hmm.
