    Jack Corby: Bridging Innovation and Purpose in Higher Education
    2025/10/30

    About Jack Corby:

    Jack Corby is the Vice President of Stevens Strategy, LLC. Jack leads the firm’s day-to-day operations, business development, and relationship management, and supports the team of consultants in their work with our clients. Jack holds a B.A. in Policy Studies from Elon University.


    In this episode, Kevin and Jack Corby discuss:

    • Challenges in higher education
    • Adapting to student needs
    • Importance of imagination in education
    • Jack Corby's career journey
    • Strategies for institutional success in higher education

    Key Takeaways:

    • Institutional leadership begins with understanding a unique identity. When educational leaders deeply explore what makes their institution special, they create pathways for meaningful student engagement and organizational distinctiveness.
    • Listening is more than gathering information — it's a strategic tool. True leadership happens when leaders actively seek to understand perspectives before proposing solutions, creating collaborative environments that drive meaningful change.
    • Innovation requires courage to reimagine traditional boundaries. Successful leaders aren't constrained by existing systems but see potential where others see limitations, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and adaptation.
    • Embracing complexity creates educational resilience. By meeting students where they are and remaining flexible in approach, leaders demonstrate that education is not about maintaining structures, but about empowering individual potential and community needs.


    "Always say yes. You never know where an opportunity is going to lead. You never know where a door is going to get opened." – Jack Corby

  • Mark Ryski: Store Traffic is a Gift: Turning Data into Retail Success

    Mark Ryski: Store Traffic is a Gift: Turning Data into Retail Success
    2025/10/16

    About Mark Ryski:

    Mark Ryski is the Founder and CEO of HeadCount, a pioneer in store traffic and conversion analytics since 1994. He is the author of two landmark books—When Retail Customers Count, the first book ever written on the subject, and CONVERSION: The Last Great Retail Metric, now considered the industry’s definitive guide. His expertise has been featured in Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, Retail Dive, CBC, and The Globe & Mail, and he is a BrainTrust contributor for RetailWire. Today, HeadCount works with leading retailers in 24 countries, helping them transform traffic data into insights, boost conversion rates, and drive stronger business results.


    In this episode, Kevin and Mark Ryski discuss:

    • Why data without insight fails to create impact
    • The evolving role of brick-and-mortar stores in a digital-first world
    • How focus and specialization drive growth and innovation
    • Finding purpose and resilience through failure and reinvention
    • The balance between business performance and human connection

    Key Takeaways:

    • Data only matters when it leads to insight. Numbers by themselves are noise — what separates great leaders is their ability to see patterns, connect meaning, and tell stories that inspire action.
    • The retail world isn’t dying, it’s adapting. In-person experiences continue to play a vital role in the customer journey, and the brands that blend digital convenience with human connection will always stand out.
    • Focus creates strength. Instead of chasing endless opportunities, narrowing your attention allows you to build depth, clarity, and mastery — the kind that positions you as the expert in your field.
    • Resilience is the thread running through every leadership story. Failure, uncertainty, and redirection aren’t the end — they’re often the very moments that refine purpose and reveal what truly matters.


    "You are constantly in the fog of not having certainty about how things will turn out. But you need to make the decisions anyway." – Mark Ryski
