For active teachers, the word “retirement” likely stirs up many emotions; hope, joy, anticipation, and a sense of finally arriving at the mythical “one day” that they have dreamed about. But it may also bring about some fear and anxiety about “what do I do now?” My guest today is a recently retired teacher who is reflecting on his 38 years of music education in the public schools and sharing about his life after retirement.

Scott Sater spent his career teaching in Backus, Pine River- Backus, and Shakopee public schools in Minnesota. He has a ton of great insights and wisdom to share from his time teaching and I am confident that you will walk away from this episode feeling refreshed, encouraged, and inspired by what he has to share. Scott is proof that you can have a fulfilling and meaningful career and go off into the sunset on your own terms. This could not be a better way to start the 2019 calendar year. I hope that you enjoy!

A small note- I did some reorganizing of my office during winter break and due to moving things around I reset my microphone placement. I ended up with a bit of an echo and an odd humming sound on my side of this conversation. This has been fixed now, but it did affect our audio quality a little bit. Alright, let’s jump into my conversation with Scott Sater.
