Welcome to the season two finale of First Up! In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Bradley University's Assistant Vice President for Enrollment Management, Brian Hodges, live from the Illinois Association for College Admission Counseling (IACAC) Conference in Peoria, IL.

Social psychologist and leadership expert Adam Galinsky, Ph.D. has spent three decades building a method for determining when we are inspiring versus infuriating, and where various leaders currently land on that spectrum. Today we talk about our first-generation experiences as leaders- both inspiring and infuriating. We hope you enjoy the conversation!
