High School Principal (Brandon Wojcik)

The Dream Vocation Podcast with Tony Bellagamba

In this episode we speak with Brandon Wojcik, a high school principal out of the Buffalo, NY area. I have known Brandon for literally my entire life (spoiler alert, he’s my cousin) and he has always been an inspiration to me. Brandon grew up in a single parent household and built himself into a successful businessman in his 20’s. However, while he was making great money, he was working 60 – 80 hours per week and beginning to think about the bigger things in life, primarily his family and his time. That led Brandon to re-evaluate and step away from business so that he could take a giant step forward in regards to happiness and fulfillment.

Brandon went back to school with the goal of becoming a teacher. He did this on his own dime while also working construction full-time to earn money for his family. After a few years of grinding, Brandon accomplished his goal of becoming a full-time teacher. He excelled in front of the classroom and with the kids, to the point that he took the next step and became a High School principal where he still works today. Brandon’s story is one of grit and perseverance but perhaps more importantly, one of knowing your true values and not letting a paycheck determine your life’s work.
