Sam Moinet, Student Breakthrough - Full Episode

In the very first episode of the Careers Beyond Teaching podcast, I interview Sam Moinet. He was a history teacher for 5 years before founding his own coaching company 'Student Breakthrough'. In this series I aim to showcase the wide ranging places that a career in teaching can eventually take you and I couldn't think of a better person to start with. 

We discussed Sam's journey from starting teaching to where he is now and covered topics such as grief, coaching and the worries around self employment. 

You can find Sam's website at www.studentbreakthrough.com, his Instagram and Facebook are both under @Studentbreakthrough and you can connect with him on LinkedIn @Sam Moinet. 

For more Careers Beyond Teaching content, or a more convenient way to engage, you can find full episodes on Youtube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts and updates and clips @Careers_Beyond_Teaching on Instagram.
