In this episode, Jackie is joined by Dr. Cody Vest, a popular BookToker in New York City. Dr. Cody got his start as an AP English teacher in Arkansas while also earning a Ph.D. He then pivoted into the corporate world and began a new career working as an instructional designer for Walmart. When he started making videos about burnout, teaching, and his disdain for Where the Crawdads Sing, his content went viral! Dr. Cody continues to work full time in the corporate world while also enjoying notoriety as Jackie's favorite BookToker (and she's not alone, he's widely popular!).
Jackie and Dr. Cody cover a lot of ground on ... all the books! Elder millennial reads, why the high school curriculums should change and why there's pushback, finding meaning and healing in books, and how Dr. Cody began his BookToker side hustle to achieve 2.5 million likes and over 100K followers on TikTok alone. If you're new to reading, hope to get back to reading, or wonder what it's like to meet Dua Lipa, you don't want to miss this episode of Brain Fever!
