This week we’re excited to have Zyzick Owens remoting into the podcast! Zyzick’s the VP of Operations at Skyline Education - an academics, arts and athletics powerhouse with humble beginnings - and we’re getting into it all, starting with the story of Zyzick’s own mother founding the organization. We’re specifically focusing on AZ Compass Prep - as you’ll hear, they started small in a church and now they’re a Nike Elite school with a staggering list of athletic prospects, but they’ve stayed true to their non-negotiable academic focus.
