In this excellent episode, Nancy and Jose are joined in the studio by Charles Parisi, the CEO of Cloudcast Media. Charles is an entrepreneur and change-maker who is constantly working to close the gaps in our community. Hear him talk about the "power of yes" and the importance that it has as a catalyst for innovation.

Through their poducation series, Cloudcast Media has been working to help integrate podcast learning into education. Students inherently are not met with the same challenges as adults as they face challenges head-on and don't have the same knowledge of limitations, creating unlimited potential. Through student-run podcasts, this project aims to cultivate important life skills like collaboration, communication, leadership, entrepreneurship, discipline, and more while allowing students to explore unique subjects.

In fact, San Diego has become a leader in podcast education through the efforts of Charles and Cloudcast Media. They have built audio curriculums, created education models, and advocated for the embracing of podcasts in education. Charles believes that with the emergence of new technology, it is of the utmost importance that we allow education to evolve too.

An excellent episode on filling gaps in the community with Charles Parisi. Here are some other takeaways from the interview:

• The importance of saying "yes"
• The power of children
• "Poducation" and what it teaches to students
• Technology and the evolution of education
• The answers to the Rapid Fire questions!

An excellent interview from a passionate gap minder. Thank you, Charles, for your contributions in San Diego, and for joining us on The Gap Minders.
