Jaime Hunt sits down with Joseph Brennan, Vice President for Communications and Marketing at Montclair State University, for a raw and riveting conversation on what it really means to counsel a university president. With over three decades in higher ed and experience advising 13 university presidents, Brennan shares how the role of CMO has evolved from tactician to trusted strategic advisor—and why communication professionals must develop executive presence, business fluency, and emotional intelligence to lead in today's high-pressure environment.Guest Name: Joseph A. Brennan, Vice President for Marketing and Communications, Montclair State UniversityGuest Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjoebrennan/Guest Bio: Joseph A. Brennan is Vice President for Communications & Marketing at Montclair State University, where he's proven that authentic storytelling works. He and his team have built a warm and genuine brand and brought it to life with narratives delivered across paid, earned, social and owned media, and designed innovative, data-driven campaigns that produced ROAS of nearly 7 to 1. Their award winning work has contributed to record enrollment for 4 successive years. Over three decades as a higher education communications and marketing executive, Joe has learned to put people first, because when team members feel seen and respected, they produce outstanding results. He's counseled 13 presidents, navigated major crises from international social media incidents to nationally publicized controversies, and directed high profile statewide campaigns to influence higher education policy in two states, but he's equally passionate about the quieter daily work of building teams where people want to stay and grow. His leadership philosophy? Treat mistakes as learning opportunities, not firing offenses. Create psychological safety so that innovation can flourish. Use humor appropriately. Show up as a whole human being, not just a job title. Meet people where they are, not where you think they should be. This approach extends beyond the office. Joe is a registered yoga teacher and meditation guide who believes mindfulness practices make leaders more effective, not less focused. He's currently earning his executive coaching certification, building on years of mentoring colleagues through career transitions and workplace challenges. Joe's mission is simple: help leaders create workplaces where talented people thrive, not just survive. When people feel valued and supported, everything else gets better. He's authored nearly 20 articles, been elected to the PRSA College of Fellows, and won national awards for "public relations campaign of the year" and "best website overhaul." - - - -Connect With Our Host:Jaime Hunthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jaimehunt/https://twitter.com/JaimeHuntIMCAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Confessions of a Higher Ed CMO is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

In All's Well That Ends Well, a character is described as “That with the plume: 'tis a most gallant fellow” (III.5), and in Love's Labour's Lost, the Princess of France mockingly asks, “What plume of feathers is he that indited this letter?” (IV.1), revealing how feathers could both elevate and satirize their wearer. Feathers might seem like a simple decoration today, but in the 16th and early 17th centuries, feathered clothing—especially feathered hats—spoke volumes about a person's status, identity, and even their participation in the expanding global economy. To better understand the culture behind feathers in clothing for Shakespeare's lifetime, we're sitting down this week with Professor Ulinka Rublack, whose article Befeathering the European investigates the history of feathers in clothing, to help us explore where the feathers come from, what they looked like, and how they were used.

“Simon Peter said, ‘I’m going fishing.’ ‘We’ll come, too,’ they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night.” (John 21:3 NLT) One way to strengthen your Christian faith is to keep a proper perspective on failure. The Gospels describe two similar encounters between Jesus and His disciples that illustrate the importance of not giving failure the final word. The first is found in Luke 5:1–11. To get some distance from the crowd that clamored to hear Him, Jesus boarded Peter’s boat and spoke to His followers a short distance from the shore. When He was done, He instructed Peter, who was a fisherman by trade, to head for deep waters to catch some fish. Peter explained to Jesus that he and his companions had been fishing all night but had failed to catch anything. Still, he obeyed the Lord’s command. And when he let down his nets, he caught so many fish that he could barely get them on board. The second encounter, found in John 21, takes place after Jesus’ resurrection. The Lord had already appeared to some of the disciples. But He had given them no clear marching orders, so some of them went back to what they knew how to do: fish. They had been fishing all night on the Sea of Galilee and hadn’t caught anything. It was early in the morning, probably still dark, when they saw a figure standing on the shore. He called out, “Fellows, have you caught any fish?” (verse 5 NLT). Throughout the Bible, God often asked probing questions when He wanted a confession. In the same way, Jesus was asking His disciples, “Did you catch anything? Have you been successful? Have things gone the way you had hoped they would go? Are you satisfied?” Jesus knew the answer, of course. So, why did He want them to admit their failure? So that He could bring them to the place where they needed to be. When they cast the net on the right side of the boat as Jesus told them to, their net became so heavy with fish that they couldn’t pull it in. The Lord was teaching the disciples an important lesson: Failure is often the doorway to real success. It’s a lesson that believers today need to learn as well. We need to come to a point in our lives where we recognize that what we’re doing isn’t working. We need to say, “Lord, I’m not satisfied with the way my life is going. I’m tired of doing things my way. I want to do things Your way.” If you approach God in that way, He will extend His forgiveness to you. Then He will transform your life in ways you can’t imagine. If you want to deepen your relationship with the Lord, admit your failures and hand the reins of your life to Him. Reflection question: What failure or dissatisfaction would you like the Lord to transform in your life?

We're here to cut the leash.” “Hyperfluency is the ability to geek out with geeks, and still explain your work to your grandma at Thanksgiving.” “These people are kind of mutants—they don't fit in typical systems.” “All kids under five are geniuses. The system just squashes it out of them.” “The most shocking thing? People publicly attacked the Fellows. Not just the program—the people. Teenagers.” “Crazy, crazy awesome—we can't tell if they're insane or brilliant, and it'll take years to find out.” “Big screens good, small screens bad.” “In the future, I want to be funding 11-year-olds. The world won't be ready, but I will be.” “We just want to talk to wily weirdos who want to be around other wily weirdos.”

Roger welcomes Ben Rothove, editor-in-chief of the Madison Federalist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and Elsa Johnson, managing editor of the Stanford Review, for a conversation about their experiences as student journalists and fellows in TFAS's new Campus Transparency Fellowship, a program created to bring accountability and openness back to higher education.They discuss the challenges of reporting on controversial topics such as DEI mandates, antisemitism, and administrative overreach, as well as the personal costs of standing up for free expression on progressive campuses. Rothove recounts his investigation into a university-sponsored sex education program that linked to explicit content, while Johnson describes her yearlong investigation into Chinese Communist Party influence at Stanford. Together they reflect on the state of free speech in academia, the fallout from recent campus controversies and how young journalists can pursue truth with courage and professionalism.The Liberty + Leadership Podcast is hosted by TFAS president Roger Ream and produced by Podville Media.

Edward Said famously wrote most of "Orientalism" during his 1975-76 CASBS fellowship. The book criticized Western worldviews and representations of the East (or 'Orient') and their perpetuation of romanticized or colonial mindsets. A half-century later, "Orientalism" continues to shape scholarship, frame debates, and resonate in disparate regions and contexts. Four 2024-25 CASBS fellows representing different disciplines – A. Shane Dillingham, Thomas Blom Hansen, Camilla Hawthorne, and Shirin Sinnar – discuss the enduring influence and impact of Said and his landmark book.EDWARD SAID WORKS REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODEOrientalism (Pantheon, 1978)"The One State Solution," New York Times, 10 January 1999Representations of the Intellectual (Penguin Random House, 1996)Other works emerging from Edward Said's CASBS fellowshipEPISODE GUESTSA. Shane Dillingham: ASU faculty page | Personal website | CASBS pageCamilla Hawthorne: UCSC faculty page | Personal website | CASBS pageThomas Blom Hansen: Stanford faculty page | CASBS pageShirin Sinnar: Stanford faculty page | CASBS pageEdward Said on CASBSIn evaluating his CASBS fellowship in 1976, Edward Said noted that "...the Center does not pay enough attention (in its selection of Fellows) to revisionist and/or radical scholars in the humanities and social sciences. There are a great many intellectual developments taking place, many of them because of thinkers whose work departs from (if does not explicitly reject) the conventions of Establishment scholarship."In addition to this constructive criticism, Said remarked in general that "...the quiet and the absence of immediate pressures were, for me, a very welcome change from past years, when deadlines, a thousand daily commitments, and the mad pressures of teaching in a large university (in a large city) made continuity of work and reflection almost impossible." Said further reported that Orientialism was "exactly four-fifths complete." In accounting for his "extremely valuable and productive year," he wrote: "I do not think I could have done this sort of work anywhere else...the working conditions are...comfortable in the best way for a scholar..."Of his work on Orientalism, Said further noted: "The other more or less special advantage to this year was to have time to change directions in my work, to move from a highly theoretical kind of speculation to a very concrete historical investigation. Many of my ideas about such matters as the history of traditions, the growth of scientific and disciplinary knowledge, the ideology of scholarship, the relationship between “knowledge” and the imagination took new, concrete forms. Without such a year – and it is impossible to say where else I could have had such a year – I would still be making statements without being sure as their historical and concrete validity. Moreover, I found that I had the time to pursue leads only to prove that they were the wrong ones; the important thing was to have the time to let my work take me where it would, and not be afraid.”Excerpted from Edward Said, "Evaluation of fellowship year 1975-76," letter to CASBS director Gardner Lindzey, August 19, 1976 (CASBS files) Other works referenced in this episodeTimothy Brennan, Places of Mind: A Life of Edward Said (Bloomsbury, 2022)Stuart Hall, "The West and the Rest: Discourse and Power," in Essential Essays, Vol. 2 (Duke Univ.

Send us a textIn this interview, Joshua Yen speaks with Dr. Jensen Suther (Harvard Society of Fellows) about his new book True Materialism (Stanford University Press). The conversation explores how Hegel and Marx can help us rethink the meaning of materialism, freedom, and modern life. Dr. Suther argues that a “true materialism” must unite Hegel's conception of rational agency with Marx's critique of capitalist modernity, showing how philosophy's history can guide social and political reflection today. Together, we discuss Hegelian Marxism, teleology, historical materialism, freedom, and how philosophy continues to shape our understanding of society.Support the show--------------------------If you would want to support the channel and what I am doing, please follow me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/christianityforall Where else to find Josh Yen: Philosophy YT: https://bit.ly/philforallEducation: https://bit.ly/joshyenBuisness: https://bit.ly/logoseduMy Website: https://joshuajwyen.com/

Dishonesty and deceit have become the defining features of much communication today, in politics and business alike. What are public relations professionals to do?Samantha Villegas joins Abbie Fink and Adrian McIntyre to talk about PR ethics in a post-truth era. She talks about the importance of ethical standards, the impact of misinformation, and strategies for discerning truth.And perhaps most importantly, Sam touches on the importance of courage in standing up against dishonest practices and the necessity of critical thinking to combat disinformation.Read the transcript and notes for this episode on our website. Key Takeaways The normalization of lying creates a challenging environment for PR professionals committed to honesty. Ethical communication is fundamental to the integrity of public relations and should prioritize the public good. PR professionals must develop a keen awareness of red flags indicating dishonest communication.

When you play high school football, you learn to play another game too. It's called Impress the Coaches. Of course, the coaches decide who plays, who starts, who sits. All summer long players show up for weight lifting in this steamy, hot weight room. Now, they come three times a week. Why would guys want to come and sweat and strain? Because the coaches are there. You can't help but ask how many of those fellows would show up if, well let's say the coaches suddenly announced they were taking a week off, "Fellows, you keep coming. We just won't be here all next week, okay?" I have a feeling the attendance would really go down in the weight room. One day back when my boys played football, there was a lot of football equipment that had to be moved to the school. Again, it was a hot, humid summer day. The coach needed volunteers. It's amazing! A lot of guys showed up to carry equipment! Of course, the coaches were going to be there and would notice who helped. Right? If the coaches weren't there to watch, how many guys would have been hauling equipment? I don't know. How many guys would lift on those hot days? How many players would run an extra lap? See, the real athlete works out whether anyone is watching or not. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "When No One's Watching." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Philippians 2, and I'll be reading verse 12. "My dear friends," Paul says, "you have always obeyed - not only in my presence, but how much more in my absence." Now, that's a description of authentic Christianity. This is the real deal. He says, "You are obeying the Lord whether I'm there to look at you and see you or not." Oh, I'm sure that they would like to impress their spiritual leader. Look, we like to impress ours. But he said, "It doesn't matter if I'm there or not. One way or the other, you continue to do what God tells you to do." You know, that's the real test of how much you love Jesus - what you do when there's no one there to see you except Jesus. We're always on our best Bible behavior when the pastor's around, or when our Christian friends are around, or any Christian we want to impress favorably. That shows how important those people are to you. It doesn't tell you too much about how important Jesus is to you. The way to find out how important Jesus is to you is the way you act when He's the only one watching. Are you into His Word when there's no one there to impress? Are you on your knees when there's no one there watching? Are you sexually pure when no one will probably know what you've done except Jesus? Are you unselfish? Are you loving with the people around you when there's no one around that will know? Do you watch, do you listen to, do you do things that you wouldn't ever do if you had other people's eyes on you? Well, Jesus is looking. Jesus is watching. He knows. He's there. Does your family see the same Christian that the church does? Do your coworkers, your clients, your customers, your fellow students, your teammates? Take a good, honest look at the private you. Are you faithful to Jesus when there is no one there to impress? That's the real you! The way you live when there's no one watching is the way you can tell how much you really love your Jesus.

Welcome to the Oncology Brothers podcast! In this Challenging Cases episode, we take a deep dive into thrombocytopenia management—a common yet often perplexing topic in everyday hematology and oncology practice.

Join Dr. Jacobs' membership for all kinds of perks and access: thenathanjacobspodcast.com/membership (use code LEWIS for a discount on the Fellows tier!) Today Dr. Jacobs takes a look at the challenge of genocide in the Old Testament, particularly the commanded extermination of the Amalekites and Canaanites. We'll critique divine command theory from a realist metaphysical framework and explores how Eastern patristic theology understood divine providence, justice, and redemption in relation to these narratives. Dr. Jacobs will dig into cultural practices of ancient Near Eastern peoples, the distinction between race-based genocide and practice-based judgment, and how concepts like Christ's descent into Hades inform a coherent theological reading of these difficult passages.All the links: Substack: https://nathanajacobs.substack.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenathanjacobspodcastWebsite: https://www.nathanajacobs.com/X: https://x.com/NathanJacobsPodSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0hSskUtCwDT40uFbqTk3QSApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nathan-jacobs-podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nathanandrewjacobsAcademia: https://vanderbilt.academia.edu/NathanAJacobs00:00:00 Intro 00:00:19 Series context & the question 00:05:27 Divine Command Theory is not the answer00:38:13 A thought experiment about evil 00:41:05 Cultural examples: Game of Thrones & black death00:47:40 Lord of the Rings & the Orcs 00:51:48 Understanding the Amalekites00:56:20 What Genocide really means01:05:40 A horror movie scenario01:13:02 The story of Saul & Samuel 01:17:34 The story of Jonah01:26:08 Christ's descent and redemption 01:31:38 Death as gift and mercy01:35:08 The broader narrative context01:39:03 Addressing the epistemological worry

Send us a textThe original roundtable has three segments. Surfing the MASH Tsunami is preempting the third segment, which will be posted next week, to share our co-hosts' reactions to the positivity and energy they felt from a group of empowered SLD advocates. Immediately after the roundtable, Louise suggested to Roger that they record a separate conversation sharing their reactions to what they had just witnessed. They turned the recording equipment on and resumed their conversation.Roger starts by noting that this is the first SurfingMASH episode comprised entirely of patient advocates at a moment when advocates felt empowered and optimistic. (Also, the Fellows were the first advocates to appear on SurfingMASH who are not part of the Advocate KOL community.)For Louise, her overpowering reaction is to the passion, because passion breeds energy and empowerment. She notes that the SLD advocates came from an array of liver-related backgrounds and from HIV, the original sources of truly empowered patients some 30 years ago. Roger shares two thoughts. As he listened to the roundtable, he recalled earlier episodes, some four to five years ago, when it seemed that the physician KOL community was not in sync with the patient advocates' goals and needs. Continuing along this train of thought, he discusses the shift in identity from “MASH patient” to “person living with MASH.” To Roger, the term "MASH patient" suggests a person defined by the disease, whereas the term "patient living with MASH" empowers individual patients to manage the disease and its place in their lives in whatever way they choose. The advocates, he says, choose to learn and speak out confidently. During the roundtable, Elena mentioned Úna Keightly, a Harrison Fellow from Ireland, who spoke from the floor at Paris MASH to request that patients learn about the outcomes of the trials in which they participate, whether the outcome is deemed a success or a failure. For the "MASH patient," a failed trial feels like a personal failure, but for a "person living the MASH," even the failed trial becomes an opportunity to learn about the disease and contribute to a long-term solution. Louise mentions a comment from Harrison Fellow Pam Miller about her cardiologist giving her a potentially hepatotoxic medication without considering Pam's liver status. This reminded both Louise and Roger of a comment former Global Liver Institute President Donna Cryer made years ago to the effect of "it doesn't matter what kills me. If I'm dead, I'm dead." From here, the conversation shifts to other changes in disease description Louise and Roger foresee:Describing the disease itself in more accessible terms, such as "liver stiffness" vs. "fibrosis level."Increasing the groups of attendees at events to include not only patients, but also the APPs who will provide much of the actual patient-level care.Educating those who still mischaracterize MASLD as “a bit of fat” that requires no action. Focusing more attention on post-menopausal women, who Louise notes are most likely to exhibit advanced SLD and cirrhosis. Being more sensitive to issues that drive changes in patients' quality of life, which might be the impact of hepatic encephalopathy, but might also relate to lean mass wasting with incretin agonists. Both foresee a growing “army” of advocates that can drive earlier detection, smarter trial design, and better everyday care. They cite some specific examples from the Fellows in the roundtable and others from their own life experiences.Ultimately, Louise and Roger share their belief that this program is an excellent tribute to Stephen Harrison, who strongly believed in the importance of patient advocates and the messages they convey. 

Send us a textIn June, the Fatty Liver Foundation officially launched the Stephen A. Harrison Patient Advocacy program and announced its first class of 20 Fellows. In today's conversation, the program's organizers, Fatty Liver Foundation President Wayne Eskridge and Program Co-ordinator Elena Samsonova, share the program's goals and objectives with Louise Campbell and Roger Green. The bulk of this conversation focuses on the program's goals and scope for its first year. First, though, Harrison Fellow Julie Peyout from Canada describes what it means to her to be part of the program. (Julie's connection was interrupted while her colleagues were answering this question earlier in the roundtable.)Wayne points out that, while the FLF originally focused on NAFLD and NASH, the new nomenclature has led them to broaden their focus to all forms of SLD. (He plans to rebrand as the Steatotic Liver Foundation.)Elena describes the program's four "pillars": Mentorship - Having an experienced advocate guide each Fellow as they pursue the next steps in their advocacy.Education - Learning more about SLD.Networking - Connecting with other advocates and industry decision-makers at conferences.Fellowship - Supporting each other as they grow new skills and have new experiences. Wayne elaborates on some of the "robust flow of information" the Fellows will receive. He focuses on three areas: what he calls "the nuts and bolts of the regulatory process", clinical trials from the researcher and trialist perspectives and more general information about how different functions inside a pharmaceutical company work. As the conversation winds down, Roger cites this podcast's mission to "make a big fat dent in MASH" and asks the Fellows about the dent they anticipate making. Elena responds with a story from the previous week's meetings, during which another Fellow stated that when she has participated in trials, she has never received information on what the trial results and learnings actually showed. Elena describes watching clinicians and trialists respond by discussing ways participants could receive such information in the future. 

Send us a textIn June, the Fatty Liver Foundation officially launched the Stephen A. Harrison Patient Advocacy program and announced its first class of 20 Fellows. In today's conversation, Louise Campbell and Roger Green interview the founders to learn what motivated them to launch this program, and we meet five of the initial Fellows. Program Co-ordinator Elena Samsonova opens the conversation by celebrating last week's onboarding of 20 inaugural Fellows and the chemistry between them. She goes on to introduce five of them:Steven Rodrigues (ALD, UK citizen) shares his recent experience giving a 15-minute national interview on BBC Radio 5 discussing ALD clinical insights. Silvana Lesidrenska (Hepatitis B, Bulgaria) shares her desire to learn more about SLD as part of her advocacy leading a liver patients association in Bulgaria. Julie Peyout (MASH, Canada) is a great-grandmother who was recently found free after therapy for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Pam Miller (MASH cirrhosis, US) learned 24 years ago that she had MASH cirrhosis when her surgeon aborted a bariatric procedure. Since then, she has lived with cirrhosis and experienced hepatic encephalopathy (HE). She has participated in clinical trials, lobbied legislators, and collaborated with professional societies. Melanie Smith  (MASH cirrhosis, US) has lived with stage-4 MASH cirrhosis since age 36 (sixteen years ago) and experiences hepatic encephalopathy (HE). She has led support groups for over a decade. Next, Fatty Liver Foundation President Wayne Eskridge recounts the program's foundational story. He describes Stephen as a man with a genuine commitment to patients and his passing as a "tremendous loss." This led Wayne to discuss this idea with Rebecca Taub of Madrigal, "another one of my heroes." (Madrigal supports this program.) Elena describes how she joined the FLF to lead this program. Roger asks the Fellows where and how they intend to make a difference. Their goals vary, from working in a Biopharma company advocating for patients to "going to the top," perhaps even lobbying the HHS Secretary, to expanding their own education and knowledge about the various forms of SLD.
