Vanessa recently took one step closer to her dream of hosting a Netflix show, recording the first ever live Math Therapy interview!  

For her session last week at Leander ISD's annual Math Joy Conference in Texas, she interviewed self-proclaimed "chaos-driven non-compliant educator" Chase Orton - and you can now hear their extremely unfiltered conversation in front of a room full of teachers whose gasps are VERY audible throughout!

Chase and Vanessa share a fearlessness in calling out the education as it is, and in this convo they cover hot topics like:

• how teachers can stay motivated in a broken system
• who standardized testing benefits (hint: not students or teachers!)
• how to follow the rules while rebelling against the status quo
