This week’s episode features not one, but two guests! Kelly sits down with Phil Komarny, the Chief Innovation Officer at Maryville University, and Dr. Mark Lombardi, the President of Maryville University, and co-author of the book Pivot – A Vision for the new University.

They talk about the technological approach they are using to center students in their own educational journeys, so learners can discover the pedagogy that best works for them, and collectively we can create better access to higher education at an affordable price and in a flexible way.  

Takeaways: 

1. The reality is that everyone can be successful & achieve & learn. You just have to find the right key to unlock that lock.  

2. Empowering students means you're not the sage on the stage anymore--you're the guide on the side.  

3. Revolution in higher ed has to be based on the student, on student data, and on the democratization of knowledge.

Join Kelly as she sits down with Kelley Steven-Waiss to discuss what skills have fueled her career. Kelley is the Founder, Executive Chairman, and Chief Product Officer of Hitch Works, a skills intelligence and talent mobility platform. She talks about why she is so passionate about revolutionizing HR practices, what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur, and why she wants to increase access to education and skill-building opportunities.  

Kelley believes in disrupting HR to allow for jungle gym careers.  

Takeaways: 

1. One of the most interesting things about humans is that we are amalgamations of our life experiences and our professional experiences.  
2. Leverage your network, do your homework, and then be fearless.    
3. I would argue that the more adversity you have, the better you can overcome objections or difficulties in the future.
