Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

12 | Writing it Down: The Due Diligence Most Enrichment Entrepreneurs Skip with Dan VanDetta
Q: So, what's something about running a youth enrichment business that took you years to figure out that you wish someone had told you on day one?
The key lesson is that not everyone will be honest with you. You must do your due diligence, put things in writing, and gather as much information as possible before you invest your time.
08 | The Business of Magic: From Teaching Tricks to Running a Real Business with Professor DR Schreiber
Q: What do you love most about working with kids and what makes your program unique for them?
Kids bring honesty and unexpected insights that help me iterate my tricks and teaching methods; the experience is entertaining first, with opportunities for kids to participate in shows each week, and I tailor lessons to their interests and learning pace, which keeps the magic alive and meaningful.
08 | The Business of Magic: From Teaching Tricks to Running a Real Business with Professor DR Schreiber
Q: Can you introduce yourself and tell us how you got into your business?
I'm Professor DR Schreiber, historically a conjurer and educator who started teaching magic in schools after my son was in school; I built a curriculum around one trick a day, blending lecture, class, and performance, and I've expanded into adult classes and lectures while maintaining a focus on kids' enrichment.
06 | What 20 Years in Enrichment Teaches About Building and Scaling with David Dodge
Q: What did you wish you knew 20 years in that would have saved you pain at the start?
Hiring the right people early on would have saved a lot of headaches; you need to recognize A-players and build a team that can wear multiple hats, especially as businesses grow and pivot.
10 | How To Build Grant-Ready Partnerships with Darren Chase
Q: Where do you see Chase Youth Programs in five years, and what departments do you want to have?
Darren outlines a vision of multiple departments across 100 schools, expansion into neighboring states, and strong development of all five core program areas.
