84: Phoenix Lawson &
How Pop Punk Shapes Lives
WELCOME TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST
I’m back with another new episode! This week I chatted with Phoenix Lawson (they/them) - who is a college readiness coach based in San Francisco. In this episode, they discuss making the move from Student Affairs to working in a high school readiness system. We also discuss the difficult job search process in student affairs and mental health coping during the pandemic. Phoenix is also a pop punk aficionado - essentially being raised on Blink 182 and Green Day, and more recently The Wonder Years. We dig into music, the NBA (finally), and the Black Lives Matter movement as well. Hope you dig this conversation because it was a fun one!
