Episode 105 | Hello and welcome to Celebrating Differnces, a podcast where we interview interesting people who are making a difference in the world.

I had a chance to talk with Chris Martin about his work as a American History teacher at an Austin Middle School and especially his work as a E-Sport Entrepreneur. Its ok if you don't know what that is because I didn't either.
Chris and I had a great time investigating this new generation of school sports that takes advantage of modern technology to teach students some very important life skills. Chris has created a company to provide services to schools in this area so students that want to take part aren't held back by a financial consideration.
We also talked with Chris about his background and how he got interested in teaching in the first place. We laughed over the fact that the one class in which Chris ever got a failing grade was History and that is where he has made his career.

98 | I recently had a chance to sit down with Kelly Evans to talk about his life and ask him about the differences that make his life work for him. He has had many adventures and some serious struggles but mostly maintains a good outlook. We all have a unique journey and Kelly's has covered a lot of ground. The system didn't always work for him but he has a story that is important to hear.
