    It’s Finally Here: Done, Not Perfect
    Jul 16 2025

    I almost didn’t hit record.

    Like many academic leaders, I wanted it to be polished, perfectly timed, and perfectly executed. But then I remembered the kind of leadership I believe in—and the kind I teach.

    In this very first episode, I’m sharing why I stopped waiting for perfect and chose to begin anyway. You’ll hear the real story behind this podcast, the moments that almost derailed it, and what it means to lead with honesty, clarity, and courage—even when things feel messy.

    If you’ve ever held back because something wasn’t “ready,” this one’s for you.

    Let’s lead out loud—imperfectly but intentionally.
