Welcome to Episode 7 of These Are Our Kids: A Podcast for JDAIconnect.

For this episode of the first season of the podcast, PJI's Auri Whitaker and Beth Oprisch chatted with Lisa Macaluso.

Lisa cut her JDAI chops in New Jersey and has spread her wings, and wealth of knowledge, across the nation as a JDAI Team Leader and Technical Assistant. We talked about Rutgers, New Jersey and state scale. We talked about dissertations, changed career paths, and Lisa's why. We discussed the art and science of JDAI implementation and leading "from the middle".  We talked, laughed, and learned from one of the great voices in the field. 

Lisa references the JDAI In New Jersey Practice Guide and gives her colleagues and friends from the Garden State props for becoming the first state to Implement JDAI Statewide. You should also check out Jennifer LeBaron's blog on that accomplishment. 

Lisa also  wrote a blog about state scale on  JDAIconnect. And finally, here is the matrix she talks about on the podcast.

Thanks to the amazing MAC for being on the podcast.
