Send us Fan Mail During this midterm election cycle we will be talking with some of the candidates that will be on our ballots for the March Primary and the Election in November.  In this episode we managed to connect with Justin Early who is running for the US Congress in Texas District 31. As you can imaging during this primary season we were lucky to catch him in between campaign tasks. We met at the KORK Wine Bar in downtown Georgetown and found a great space on the patio to sit and visit. I live and vote in Texas Congressional District 37 so can’t vote for Justin, but after meeting him at an event I decided that people would want to hear what he had to say.  Please sit back and enjoy our casual conversation.  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail 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.
