Kevin and Brody welcome Jerel Benton, Assistant Provost for Student Success at Radford University, for a conversation that travels from the tutoring rooms to the leadership table. Along the way, Jerel shares how a nursing major became a student success leader, why empathy is not the same thing as softness, and how consensus can sometimes slow progress instead of strengthen it.


They dig into:

• The mentors who quietly change the trajectory of our careers
• Building trust as a new leader (care, reliability, competence, sincerity)
• Why relationships and culture of care are universal truths in higher ed
• What it really takes to lead student success work without burning out
• And yes, a spirited Kentucky vs. Indiana basketball detour

Plus, Jerel talks about creating fan reaction content on Kentucky basketball, being a proud introvert in an extroverted job, and life as a dad of three girls who run the show in the best possible way.
