Rick is a Marine veteran who served two deployments in Iraq, and a 7/8th grade American history teacher in Jersey City.
In this lengthy yet engaging episode, we discuss the difficulty of maintaining long-term friendships, Rick's experience in the Marines, the myriad challenges we face as educators, how technology will redefine humanity, and the breakdown of institutional hierarchies that succumb to The S.N.A.F.U. Principle.
