  • Resumen

  • In Part 2 of the AV/IT Amplifier’s 100th episode celebration, Ryan is joined by an expanding cast of brilliant and chaotic friends from higher ed and beyond—including Robyn Bryce, Jon Hamilton, Tom Aldridge, Lyle Waldron, and Britt Yenser.

    What starts as a continuation of gratitude and reflection quickly evolves into a deeply honest conversation about amplifying unheard voices, leading through constant change, and finding resilience in uncertain times. Along the way, listeners are treated to improvised wisdom, pro-wrestling aspirations, and the occasional philosophical detour into the ethics of chicken-based fundraising.

    Whether you’re navigating the rapids of higher ed or just looking for people who speak their truth with humor and heart, this episode delivers. Expect real talk, a few laughs, and plenty of reminders that sometimes the best leadership strategy is simply listening.
