  • Andrew Ramsammy: Trusting the Process and Leading with Imagination

    Andrew Ramsammy: Trusting the Process and Leading with Imagination
    2026/04/09

    Feeling stuck on a “linear” path you never chose? Discover how Andrew turned zigzags, immigrant grit, and curiosity into a purpose-driven career at the helm of Vermont College of Fine Arts.


    In this episode, Kevin and Andrew Ramsammy discuss:

    • Early artistic journey and immigrant family background
    • Nonlinear career paths in the arts and leadership
    • Trusting the process and navigating uncertainty
    • Curiosity, imagination, and problem-solving in leadership
    • Servant leadership, community, and transparency in higher education

    Key Takeaways:

    • Complex career and life journeys are rarely linear; progress often looks like a series of zigs and zags that only make sense when you look back.
    • Trusting the process—especially when you feel lost—can open doors you don’t yet see, as long as you stay engaged, curious, and willing to keep moving.
    • Building a “tribe” of like-minded, additive people is essential; the right collaborators amplify creativity, resilience, and the ability to solve hard problems.
    • Servant leadership, rooted in genuine curiosity about others and a willingness to advance them, can transform both institutions and individuals.
    • Leaders must constantly balance transparency with discernment, recognizing that their words carry weight and can easily be taken out of context.


    “The world needs problem solvers, and the only way that you can solve a problem is by approaching it with curiosity.” – Andrew Ramsammy

  • Christian MM Brady: Calling, Courage, and the Future of Higher Education

    Christian MM Brady: Calling, Courage, and the Future of Higher Education
    2026/04/02
    In this episode, Kevin and Christian MM Brady discuss:Patience, empathy, and the “superpower” of leadershipMentorship, feedback, and StrengthsFinder in leadership developmentDiscernment of calling vs. chasing titles and positionsScripture interpretation, rabbinic literature, and ethical decision-makingThe future of higher education, training vs. education, and student callingKey Takeaways:Patience formed through hardship can become a powerful leadership asset, especially when balancing institutional demands with real human struggles like grief, illness, and immigration challenges.Leadership is often discovered gradually through community discernment and mentorship rather than by aggressively pursuing titles or positions.Strong mentors help people identify and cultivate their strengths instead of obsessing over weaknesses, while also being honest about limitations that need to be acknowledged or minimally improved.Distinguishing between education and training is critical: not everyone needs a four‑year degree, and true student success comes from aligning strengths, passions, and callings with the needs of the world.To lead well and avoid burnout, it’s essential not to take every criticism personally, but to discern what truly belongs to your role and remain grounded in your responsibilities and values.“Your calling is where your deep passion meets the world's deep needs.” – Christian MM BradyAbout Christian MM Brady:Dr. Christian M. M. Brady is a transformational administrator, scholar, and author who became Wittenberg University’s 16th president on June 1, 2025. In his first months, he launched a strategic planning process, forged new recruitment pipelines, secured leadership-level gifts, and helped renew a sense of hope across the Wittenberg community. In his Opening Convocation address, “Hope,” he argued that hope “is not simply a belief or an attitude; it is the first action we must take in any endeavor.”Before Wittenberg, he founded and led the Lewis Honors College at the University of Kentucky as the T. W. Lewis Dean, growing it to more than 2,400 students and leading a $50 million campaign. He also served as interim dean of the UK’s College of Arts & Sciences, managing an $81 million budget, 440 faculty, 19 departments, and nearly 7,500 students. Previously, he transformed Penn State’s Schreyer Honors College into a national model for excellence, tripling applications, increasing selectivity, and raising more than $80 million.An expert in ancient Hebrew and Jewish literature, Dr. Brady has published widely and held leadership roles in organizations including the Society of Biblical Literature and the International Organization for Targumic Studies. He holds degrees from Cornell University, Wheaton College Graduate School, and the University of Oxford, and serves as an Episcopal priest and Canon Theologian in the Episcopal Diocese of Lexington.Connect with Christian MM Brady:Website: https://www.wittenberg.edu/administration/president | http://christianbrady.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christianbrady/ Connect with Kevin Neal:Website: https://drkdneal.com Book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0C47RZDSS https://www.amazon.com/Guided-Greatness-Mentorship-Developing-professionals-ebook/dp/B0FGBH1VNSEmail: coachkd63@gmail.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachkd63

  • Kenny Stoddart: Building an Iron Mind to Turn Adversity into Leadership Strength

    Kenny Stoddart: Building an Iron Mind to Turn Adversity into Leadership Strength
    2026/03/26

    In this episode, Kevin and Kenny Stoddart discuss:

    • IronMind mentality and leadership
    • Adversity, cancer, and using hardship as a building block
    • Burnout, overachievement, and mental health
    • Personal transformation and career pivot
    • Practical pathways to an iron mind for everyday people

    Key Takeaways:
    • Adversity can become fuel for growth. Hard experiences—like illness, addiction, or major setbacks—can be reframed as building blocks that deepen resilience and strengthen leadership, rather than life-ending events.
    • An “iron mind” is built, not born. Mental toughness isn’t just for elite performers; it’s a learnable mindset rooted in grit, preparation, and facing challenges head‑on instead of avoiding them.
    • Ignoring burnout has real costs. Continually pushing through stress without addressing root issues leads to slow, silent decay in health, performance, and relationships; leaders must recognize and respond to early warning signs.
    • Real transformation often begins when you stop relentless self-criticism, acknowledge your struggles honestly, and choose to treat yourself with compassion while you do the hard work of change.


    "If we want to start somewhere, how about a little grace – whether it's in the mirror or whoever, give yourself a pat on the back for the things that you are doing right." – Kenny Stoddart
