Breaking the Grade: MindShare Founder Robert Martellacci Joins Josh Chernikoff, The Power of Resilience in Education

Kevin Chavous: How Education Founders Turn Setbacks Into Credibility

What happens when your credibility isn’t built by wins—but by what you do with setbacks?

Most founders lean on titles and polished slides. But buyers don’t buy polish—they buy proof.

🚨 Thursday @ 1PM ET — I’m going live with Robert Martellacci (MindShare Learning, Canadian EdTech Summit) to unpack my convo with Kevin Chavous—Stride Inc. President and our first-ever Breaking the Grade guest—on how education founders turn setbacks into credibility and traction.

We’ll break down why buyers trust proof over polish, how student voices create market validation, and what founders can learn from the EdSales Elevation Experience + Canadian EdTech Summit.

💥 If your deals keep stalling at “interested,” this is your reset.
