About this listen
This week on the LiberatED Podcast, Kerry McDonald speaks with Tara Famularo-Del Bianco, a former attorney who spent nearly 15 years representing abused and neglected children in New York City before making a dramatic shift into education entrepreneurship. Today, she is the founder of The Magnolia Schoolhouse, a thriving Montessori-inspired microschool in Vero Beach, Florida, that serves 75+ students through 8th grade and blends homeschooling with flexible, part-time, in-person learning.
Her founder path was not easy, as she encountered numerous regulatory roadblocks, and ultimately decided to start a church to run her school.
Kerry's latest Forbes.com article detailing Tara's full story is here:
