ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Will Reusch, a teacher with more than 17 years of experience in public and government schools who uses his Instagram platform to promote intelligent discourse and genuine curiosity, joins Lou to talk about how to be an influencer without showing your butt, talking with people you disagree with, and his online school, Patterdox.
