This was a wonderful program–one that reminded me of how much I respect good teachers everywhere.
How can I send a link to this to my niece, who is a teacher?

Thank you for producing this program. I am so grateful to be introduced to Taylor Mali. His words support me and my family’s commitment to the development of minds and hearts and the empowerment of all. He articulates what wealth, value and power really are. They are about the “what for” not the “how much”.

David, we don’t have a budget for making transcripts yet. One of these days though.

HV’s podcast is run by NPR:

(there’s a “Podcast” link in the top-right column, but it’s kinda small, so easy to miss.)
