Treehouses, thrift shops, and throwing firewood! In this not-so-filler second episode, Kevin and Brody are back! Join the fun as they welcome former NACADA President and advising superstar Dana Zahorik for a candid convo about leadership, community colleges, and why training and development should never just be about clicking through a handbook.
Along the way, they tackle summer burnout, the thrill of fall on campus, and the which movies should never have had sequels. Dana shares her origin story, throws metaphorical (and literal) firewood, and reveals what keeps her hopeful about the future of advising. Plus a lightning round shenanigans, cookie opinions, and a chocolate martini confession!
