Lenore Estrada co-founded Three Babes Bakeshop just in time to have business upended by the pandemic. But rather than shrink from the challenge, she went on to co-found the SF New Deal, a community support and food relief organization dedicated to helping other small businesses—and individuals in need of food—make it through the pandemic. Here she sits down with WOTM host Sam Saperstein to discuss how she created her business, what she's learned, and what she thinks about the future. Launching a start-up By her early 20s, Lenore had experienced a lifetime of challenges—including growing up around poverty, the sudden death of her college boyfriend, and cancer diagnoses for both her and her mom. Something told her it was time to take stock of her life, starting with her career. She made a list of the day-to-day job experiences she actually liked. Her list included talking to people, and community work. “So then I made a list of jobs where I could use these skills every day, and one of them was entrepreneurship,” she tells Sam. “So I decided to start a business.” First up was determining the where and the what. She landed on northern California for the where—to be closer to mom. For the “what” she picked baking. She had a lifelong friend who already worked in the food industry, and she realized a bakery business had a low “barrier to entry,” which suited her since she had little money to invest. She and two friends launched a Kickstarter campaign, and soon raised $10k. Three Babes Bakeshop was born. “When I started my company, I really was coming from a kind of a place of no other options,” she recalls. “And I started it, and immediately the feeling was so different [from] working for someone else.” She was hooked on the entrepreneurial life, but faced many curveballs from the beginning. After an early focus on fruit pies, she and her partner realized the product was too seasonal to offer the stability they needed to grow the business. They soon found that stability in contracts to provide a variety of baked goods to corporate offices.  Start-up ups and downs Selling baked goods for corporations offered Three Babes the stability to plan in advance and invest in the future. But less than a year later, Three Babes Bakeshop faced a big challenge: The pandemic crashed into their space like a natural disaster. In early 2020, Lenore was warily watching news of the coronavirus. But it was Pi Day (March 14th) that really drove home the impending catastrophe. Clients weren't ordering their usual large Pi Day orders. “That sort of told me that people were feeling uncertain,” she tells Sam. It wasn't long before Three Babes scaled down to nearly no business. Helping the community It was still the very early days of the pandemic shutdown when an old friend called Lenore and said he was concerned and upset about what was happening to small businesses in San Francisco. “And he offered to donate a million dollars if I was willing to sort of be the leader and form a non-profit to get that money out to the community,” she tells Sam. “So we started this organization and basically we started just buying meals from small restaurants and delivering them to hungry people.” That's how SF New Deal was born in March of 2020. Before long, they were helping small businesses band together to apply for federal grants. Businesses were getting the revenue they needed, and food insecure individuals were getting tastier and fresher food than they would get at a food pantry. Today, Lenore is still the executive director of SF New Deal and running Three Babes. As far as what else the future might hold for her, she tells Sam that she's always wanted to run for office.

When Enkeleda Gjoni's students enter her math class, learning geometry is the least of their problems. One hundred percent of her students are English Language Learners, as was Enkeleda when she immigrated from Albania with “only her education.” Two decades later, she holds two master's degrees and models for her students what is possible – especially for someone who is competent in mathematics.Today we're learning from Enkeleda Gjoni, 2019 Fund for Teachers Fellow and math teacher at Boston International High School, where 100% of her students are English Language Learners. The daughter of a teacher, Enkeleda is originally from Albania, where she earned her bachelor's degree in Education and Mathematics. She immigrated to the United States two decades ago knowing no English and now holds one master's degree in Education from the University of Massachusetts at Boston and the other in Teaching Mathematics from Harvard University. She is also a member of the English Learners Success Forum, an Edvestor's Math Fellow, an advisory board member for the Better Math Teaching Network and member of the Massachusetts Consortium for Innovative Education Assessment. With her Fund for Teachers grant, Enkeleda investigated the connection between math, history, and art through research of the Parthenon, Acropolis, theaters, and churches in Greece to deepen knowledge of Greek mathematicians and founders of math (such as Euclid, Pythagoras, and Archimedes) and create hands-on, multidisciplinary projects for students and the wider educational community. In advance of Pi Day (March 14, 3.14) I was curious about how Enkeleda became a math teacher and, particularly, how she engages non-native speakers with mathematical equations.

It is once again Pi Day (March 14—which is like the first digits of pi: 3 and 14). Before getting into this year's celebration of pi, let me just summarize some of the most important things about this awesome number. Outside the US, Pi Day should probably be July 22 (22/7)—this fraction is a surprisingly good estimate of pi. You can find the value of pi with a mass and a spring. The value of pi is related to the local gravitational field.

This week Shannon, Sean and Stargate Pioneer venture into the lands of the Trion Defiance Video game and its recent 1.4 update. The trio discuss issues caused by updating, how stable the gaming platform is currently, how they all seem to suck at playing (but yet Sean has no problem finishing the main story), and how in-game interactions have changed. Sean and Stargate Pioneer marvel at Shannon’s ability to take on multiple gangs simultaneously in real life yet how she runs and hides from Hellbugs. Sean pontificates on how Defiance ranks both as an MMO and as a scifi story game. Stargate Pioneer requests help in figuring out what the best chat headset for an Xbox 360 is. Sean and Stargate Pioneer take a moment to point out which Voices Of Defiance podcast host is truly infatuated with the darling Jaime Murray. All three hosts thank a few listeners for the wonderful feedback they have received so far. Stargate Pioneer and Shannon relay their bee killing techniques in real life. Sean gushes about Mass Effect including how Shannon could recognize FemShep at a convention without ever having played the game herself. Sean also informs us that the best weapon in the Defiance game is a Pump Action Fire Loaded Shotgun. And finally Stargate Pioneer fills us in on the homewords of the Votans. But wait….there’s more! Come for the cast, stay for the extras! After the main credits Sean, Shannon and Stargate Pioneer discuss the state of SyFy, Sean and Stargate Pioneer attempt to explain Pi Day (March 14th) to Shannon, Sean fanboys out over Mass Effect even more, and several other brief extras.
