Erick Bell is an accounting professor at Las Positas College. He previously taught at Golden Gate University and University of San Francisco. His goal is to educate and entertain - while encouraging people to pursue careers in accounting. Erick started his professional journey as an auditor at one of the largest accounting firms in the world, KPMG. It was there that he began pursuing teaching. On this episode, Erick talks about how he changed his dream of making a lot of money first and then teaching, to teaching "now". He talks about how we are teaching in a twitter generation - 160 characters - that it's about talking less and giving students bite size chunks of information and letting them operate. Letting them practice. Erick talks about how it’s not about how much money you want, but about your vision. And with that vision you will know how much money you need. Erick talks about how so many of us limit ourselves based on our past experiences.
