  • 39. Human in the Room: How to Build Trust, Judgment, and Presence in the Age of AI
    2026/02/25
    What does it mean to be truly human in a workplace dominated by AI, algorithms, and automation?

    In this special episode of the B-Student Podcast, Betsy Gardner flips the script and steps into the guest seat as she’s interviewed by Addison Cursey about her new book, Human in the Room. After announcing her transition from CEO of the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce to launch Evermore Advisory, Betsy shares the framework that’s already gaining traction with business leaders across the country.

    This episode dives deep into:
    • Why trust is the new currency in leadership
    • The three pillars of trust: care, competency, and consistency
    • How good judgment separates humans from machines
    • What “managing up” really means (and why it’s not sucking up)
    • Why presence and nonverbal signals matter more than ever
    • How to build career resilience in an era of AI disruption
    • Why soft skills are the power skills of the future
    Betsy explains how Human in the Room was born out of a growing credibility crisis in business, rising generational tension in the workplace, and a disconnect between employers and employees. With practical tools, assessments, and a repeatable system, this framework helps professionals at every level show up with clarity, discernment, and confidence.

    Whether you're a young professional navigating your first leadership role, a mid-career executive refining your influence, or a CEO looking to strengthen your team’s trust and decision-making skills, this conversation will challenge and equip you.

  • 38. Why Only 1% Win on LinkedIn — The Strategy That Actually Works | Katie Lopus
    2026/02/18
    Only 1% of people on LinkedIn are posting — and your competitive advantage is simply to share your thoughts with your network.

    Today on the B-Student Podcast, we sit down with Katie Lopus, founder of Klo Marketing, former Fortune 100 social media leader for Marriott Hotels, Sheraton Hotels, Universal Studios, and St. Regis Doha, to unpack the real strategy behind building a powerful personal brand on LinkedIn and beyond.

    From being born in England and raised in Orlando to leading global hospitality brands in Qatar, Katie shares how being a global citizen sharpened her observation skills — and why observation is the hidden superpower behind great marketing.

    We cover:
    • Why LinkedIn is the most underrated career growth platform
    • The 4 types of posts anyone can create (even if you don’t think you’re a “creator”)
    • How Gen Z can network confidently without feeling “entitled”
    • How personal is too personal on LinkedIn
    • Why authenticity builds trust (but oversharing can hurt you)
    • The power of commenting strategically
    • How Katie turned a pandemic furlough into launching her own business
    • One digital habit to adopt and one to stop immediately

    If you’ve ever thought:
    “I don’t have anything to say.”
    “I’m not a content creator.”
    “I’m intimidated by LinkedIn.”
    “This feels too vulnerable.”This episode is your masterclass.Because mentorship today doesn’t require 40 years of networking — it’s one thoughtful post away.

  • 37. Why Curiosity Is a Career Advantage | Sustainable Business, Coffee & Purpose
    2026/02/11
    Dr. Keith Whittingham joins Betsy Gardner for a masterclass on sharpening your curiosity muscle, building a life of learning, and leading with purpose. Keith is an Associate Professor at the Rollins College Crummer Graduate School of Business, the owner of Artifix Cafe, and the 2026 Chair of the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce Board. In this conversation, he shares how his work in corporate sustainability and social responsibility led to a specialty coffee company designed to uplift coffee growers and their communities, and why shortening the distance between producer and consumer matters more than most people realize.

    You’ll hear the story behind Artifix Cafe, from annual MBA immersion trips to Costa Rica to the cloud forest community of Monteverde, where conservation, culture, and community are deeply intertwined. Keith breaks down “sustainable development” in a way that’s practical and memorable, using Costa Rica as a case study for how values-driven decisions can create long-term economic benefits. He also unpacks the real-world coffee supply chain, why farmers are often left with too little, and how new business models can create a more connected, more profitable, and more ethical path from farm to cup.

    Later, Betsy and Keith explore his unexpected career journey: a PhD in electrical engineering from Cornell, time at Bell Labs, an MBA at Rollins, and the twists that ultimately led him into business education, entrepreneurship, and community leadership. If you’re early in your career, navigating a pivot, or trying to lead with confidence in a world that’s moving fast, this episode is a blueprint for staying resilient, staying curious, and letting your values guide the way.
