How I Broke That
Nathan Hammond on Being a Third-Culture Kid, Creativity and the Ultimate Hallpass
Nathan Hammond has never been afraid to speak his mind or break a rule – especially if it meant he was going to improve his life or, more importantly - the lives of others. As an American-born kid growing up in Austria, he thrived on standing up and standing out, which made him a born leader. And a natural-born entrepreneur.
But – Nathan’s ability to be a breaker and be better would also get him into trouble in elementary school and through his first job as a German teacher in Syracuse, NY.
By listening to our show today, you'll learn:
- What it was like for Nathan growing up in Austria and Germany, the son of missionaries, and having to fit into the European culture and school system;
- How he took his passion for being a breaker into the classroom as a teacher and turned his classroom upside down with technology for two decades;
