During the show we discuss:

1. Developing a culture of Progress not Perfection

There wasn't enough time to cover all my questions in one episode. This will be part one of two. BUCKLE UP!!! 

In part one, we had an opportunity to chat about:

1. Her experience publishing her children's book, "All I Need is My Tablet"
2. The power of sports
3. The significance of building network capital
4. And how to overcome "No" 

Part two we dive into Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging. This conversation fed me. I hope you get something from Brenda's journey as well.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with some awesome coaches over the years.

Grateful to be able to call Coach a friend and trusted life advisor.

On this episode of Under the Wing, I chat with Nathan Miklos, Head Coach of the Youngstown State University Women’s Golf program.

We dive into a couple topics during this episode:

1. Coach Miklos’ transition from student-athlete to head coach
2. The experiences that shaped him as a leader, husband, father, and friend.

I hope you enjoy this one! Go Guins!

On this episode of Under the Wing, I sit down with Nelda Sims.

• Retired Educator and Administrator 

• Co-Author of Discovering Strength: Hidden In Sight - An Educators Perspective

I have been patiently waiting to have my first educator on the show. It is finally here!

We chatted about her journey in education, the hurdles she faced advancing into administration, and the process of co-authoring a book. I genuinely enjoyed this conversation with Ms. Sims. I think you will too!

This week on Under the Wing, I sit down with Nick Santucci.

Senior Consultant for Workforce & Community Engagement at VAZA Consulting

Candidate for State Representative in the 64th District

Selfishly, I wanted to pick the brain of my good friend. There was a lot of self-reflection after running this episode back and transcribing it. We also had a little too much fun reliving the glory days of the WWF.

“Seeing him move through the company in a sophisticated role. Leading these young wrestlers into their futures and careers is very admirable. I’ve gained just an additional amount of respect and admiration for him.” Nick Santucci on Triple H (Chief Content Officer for WWE)

In this episode, I dive into the foodie scene of my two favorite cities, New Orleans and Nashville. The #504 and #615. The NOLA and NashVegas. The two cities are much more than their respective strip of bars.

I know it is not Monday, but I resume recording interviews next week and the schedule is jam-packed. I also wanted to put this one out before the weekend for those traveling.

I often get questions from friends, and friends of friends about the best places to eat in these two unique cities. It would take me a full day to cover the food between the two cities. I am only going to hit a few of my faves in this episode.

You cannot have great stories and experiences without great food. Do not get stuck on Bourbon Street and Broadway! Come with me on a quick trip around each city.

In this episode, I am talking with Suerethia Henderson about life being more than a finish line and extracting what you need from competitive sports. We talk about faith, family, performing at a high level, identity, personal branding, giving back, transitioning, and how it really all ties together.
