Notes​

Isaac appears to be well-connected in both faith communities and real estate circles in Austin. He seems to have recently moved to Austin and is building his network there. He was receptive to Gary's ideas about education reform and showed particular interest in the concept of empowering students to make real change rather than just theoretical learning.

He has a background in homeschooling which gives him a different perspective on education than those who went through the traditional public school system. This background likely informs his openness to alternative educational models.

Isaac seems to value authentic faith and community building, mentioning appreciation for churches like Whitestone. He also appears to have some skepticism about the public education system, agreeing with Gary's assessment that it functions primarily as "daycare" and is designed to put people on an "assembly line."

The conversation was cut short due to Isaac's appointment, but both expressed interest in continuing the conversation before Gary's White House meeting with Paula White on Friday.

Potential Collaboration Areas​

  • Faith-based educational initiatives
  • Real estate opportunities for educational spaces
  • Connecting Gary with faith communities in Austin
  • Providing perspective on alternatives to traditional education
  • Possible input on Gary's White House meeting regarding "making America godly again"
