Changing Lives With Her “Happy Meal” Concept For Books, with Denise Corbo

  • サマリー

  • EP421: Today’s guest is Denise Corbo, a retired educator and the founder of Storybook Treasures. Denise shares her inspiring journey from stumbling into her first teaching gig as a high school cosmetology teacher, to finding her passion as an elementary school teacher, and then to starting a nonprofit dedicated to promoting literacy and spreading the love of books to grade school children.

    In this episode, Denise opens up about her personal experiences, sharing how her own shy childhood and undiagnosed learning challenges fueled her passion for teaching and finding creative ways for her students, especially those who struggled to read, to succeed.

    Denise talks about how she got the idea to start her company, Storybook Treasures, the early challenges she faced, and the determination that drove her forward. From financial hurdles to skepticism about her vision, she remained steadfast in her mission to make a difference in the lives of children.

    We chatted about:

    • How she got into teaching cosmetology.
    • The creative way she overcame financial hurdles to start her own business on a teacher’s salary.
    • How her quest to find Innovative teaching methods led her to an incredible teaching award and ultimately led to the idea for her business.
    • The importance of community involvement, volunteers, and scaling impact to help more people.

    Denise's story serves as a powerful reminder that even the smallest steps can lead to a large impact, especially when driven by a purpose that brings value to others. Tune in for an inspiring conversation filled with wisdom, heart, and a call to action that invites all of us to make a difference in the lives of young learners.
