87: Mike Fox & Authentic Leadership, the Pandemic, and a bit about Vinyl
WELCOME TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST
Mike Fox is the Assistant Director of Student and Family Engagement at Bristol Community College - he’s a great example of authentic leadership and an all-around great dude. Mike and I became acquainted six years ago when Katy started working with him at Lesley and we’ve been in touch ever since! He’s also always been a big supporter of my public speaking career so I’m glad to finally give him a platform!
Mike and I discuss the importance on entertainment on college campuses, how the pandemic have shifted our jobs, and what it means to be an authentic leader. We also get into a lengthy conversation on vinyl, vinyl collecting, and music, in general. i had a lot of fun catching up with mike and I hope you enjoy this episode!
