In the first episode of the 2023-24 season, Mr. Bruce Rottman, Head of Brookfield Academy's Free Market Institute talks with Dr. Mark Bullio.

Dr. Bullio has been at BA for a decade and during his tenure he has served in a number of roles including teacher, Dean of Students in the Upper School, and coach. He is currently Head of the Middle School and next year he will become Head of the Upper School. He and his wife have four children, three of whom are students at BA.

Their 30 minute conversation covers a broad range of topics including education, students, economics, Brookfield Academy, parenthood, and more.

For the past 60 years, free market economics has been an important part of Brookfield Academy’s curriculum. The founders of our school believed that in preparing students for college and life, we need to share with them the importance of a deep understanding of both personal freedom and individual responsibility.

The Free Market Institute was established to provide even greater opportunities for our students to learn, discuss, and experience free market principles in and beyond the classroom. Through this podcast, blogs, seminars, classes, and other activities, the Free Market Institute shares insight into the "economic way of thinking" for all students and our entire BA community.
