Today we're chatting with my buddy, Morty Ballen, who lived through the go-go days of charter school expansion. As the CEO and Founder of Explore Schools, Morty oversaw the replication of three schools in an eight year period. He shares his lessons learned (spoiler alert: it's the people!) and what is on the other side of leaving after 20 years of being the CEO. Morty is humble, insightful and good-natured and I enjoyed this conversation immensely.
