“Growing up in Gyumri, Armenia's second city, I was surrounded by traditions that often-placed limitations on women. My dream was always to escape, to leave for Yerevan, the capital, and start a new life. But life had other plans for me, and I'm glad it did,” says Amalya Yeghoyan, Executive Director of the Gyumri Information Technologies Centre (GITC), in her conversation with Andrew Wrobel. Amalya's story began in 2007 when, as a 21-year-old linguistics student, she was encouraged to apply for a receptionist role at GITC. Despite her doubts about succeeding without connections, she aced the interview and began her journey at an organisation that would transform her life and her hometown. “GITC was a revelation for me. At a time when Gyumri was struggling with poverty and unemployment following a devastating earthquake, the centre's mission was to teach people how to ‘fish' instead of giving them fish. We aimed to train young people in programming and coding to create opportunities and attract companies to Gyumri,” she recalls. Amalya's vision doesn't stop at technology. She has spearheaded initiatives like empowering war veterans and developing entrepreneurship programmes for women displaced by conflict. “Women are natural problem solvers and risk-takers. They see opportunities where others see obstacles. This is why entrepreneurship is so vital for them,” she says. Amalya Yeghoyan's journey from a linguistics student to a trailblazer in Armenia's tech ecosystem is a testament to the power of perseverance and the impact of investing in people. Just recently, Amalya was also named Emerging Europe's Female Business Leader, chosen in a public voting and by a professional jury.

Today we sit down with fellow Denver artist and entrepreneur, Andy Frasco. He brings all his experience and drive right to you, so you can find that drive in yourself and go out and do all the SH$t you want in this one life! Quote:“People are afraid to give their full potential of who they are as a person on stage” - FrascoFounded in 2000, Guitars in the Classroom trains public elementary school teachers from coast to coast to sing, play folk instruments, write lyrics for learning, and teach all standard subjects through hands-on music and the power of song. GITC's efforts focus on serving students during their most formative years. This is when foundational skills in speaking, reading, writing, and thinking, as well as interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence, can grow quickly.You may know Andy Frasco from his music, his live shows, his podcast, or maybe from his inspirational excitement when he talks about music. He is who he is, and that is something he has worked hard to show the world both on and off the stage. And we love him for it. We have known him a longtime,e and it's such a pleasure to sit down and hear his story and how he found his place in the music business. This is also a good spot to mention that Andy's personality includes all the swear words in the English language, so for any of our young or sensitive listeners, please be warned that there will be strong language. Let's go!Action:Write down who you think you are on stage, and then read that to a friend to see if they agree.As always, Thanks for joining us, and remember, there is already enough for everyone, you just need to know how to get it. Until next time, on behalf of Dave Tamkin and myself, Chris Webb. Stay happy, healthy, and wealthy. Focus on your goals, not fear, doubt, or antagonists, and you will achieve your goals. This is Musicians Tip Jar.
Jess Baron, Founder and Executive Director of Guitars and Ukes in the Classroom (GITC), chat about GITC's collaboration with myriad partners to expand the role of music in education and elevate student engagement by making purposeful, inclusive music a joyful and integral part of literacy, academic and social-emotional learning throughout the school day and beyond.
