If you are like most band directors, nobody ever taught you how to build wealth. Over the course of the podcasts, Josh has shared with you his ongoing strategy to invest his money such that he has the ability to retire well. This episode is an update from the last episode (Nov. 2020).Josh's suggestion on investing: 1. Invest in your company's matching 401k if available (Or continue to contribute to your state's teacher retirement pension fund).2. OPEN UP A Roth IRA! DO THIS NOW!!!!!! Once your Roth IRA account is open, invest your money in a target retirement index fund. (Josh is invested in two funds, VTIVX target retirement 2045 and VTSAX total stock index fund). Max this out every year.3. Always save and invest a large portion of your side hustle money. Only spend the interest, never lose your principal. The pandemic caused chaos, stock prices fell, panic in the market hit, so Josh stuck to the plan. As a result, he saw a 29% increase in wealth over the last year.

This episode has been particularly hard to make. I apologize for the delay in content for my show. My school and the surrounding community was hit by an EF4 tornado, one of the largest on record for the state of Georgia. It damaged 1700 homes and left the high school where I teach with extreme damage. In the middle of the chaos, there is hope! This is a brief account into what I saw, and the "countermoves" I saw in the days that followed.Band Directors, we have a tremendous responsibility to protect and care for our students.

This episode is the second in our mentor series where Josh interviews Band Directors whom he admires, respects, and highly values their perspectives on important issues. The questions he asks are designed to be broad in an effort to help listeners take a look into the mind of a master band director.Nick Golding is a very successful band director who has led successful band programs at multiple schools. His bands have performed at collegiate invitation events, state in-service conferences, Bands of America Regional Finalist, WGI World Championships and more.

This free resource episode is drawing more attention to the 8 pages of notes from Matthew Price (Episode 18 and 20). Matthew created a handout with information that is vital to every band room. What I love about this resource is that it is about research based best practices for band directing. It breaks down what a good teacher does as measured by effect size. He includes quotes from his mentors, books for future reading, ideas related to leadership, and more. The pages were so valuable, they deserved their own episode.Here is the link to this resource (You can also find it at DirectingBand.com/resources): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z6ofzkz-Bxv6urf_dzaafX8uAP0jIdKQHytXIfJDO84/edit?usp=sharingSupport the show
