⚾🍩 From Cardinals heartbreaks to donut debates, Kevin and Brody kick off this episode of The Pickup Meeting with laughter and plenty of sugar cravings. Then they’re joined by Todd Burrell, longtime admissions leader turned University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign regional rep, for a first-ever podcast appearance you won’t forget.

Todd shares his journey as a first-gen student, his decades of leadership in admissions, and why saying yes to opportunities has shaped his career (and can shape yours, too). Along the way, you’ll hear about professional development wisdom, the quirks of Illinois mascots, and what keeps Todd energized after 30 years in higher ed.

It’s equal parts heartfelt, hilarious, and inspiring...exactly what you’d want from a pickup meeting!

*The Pickup Meeting is a spinoff of the Adventures in Advising podcast!
