Description

🎙️ Season 2 Is Here 🎉

Matt Markin and Bri Harvie kick off Season 2 of Emerging Voices  by turning the mic on…each other! In this behind-the-scenes opener, they focus on professional growth in academic advising through involvement in NACADA and the Emerging Leaders Program (ELP). Drawing from recent conference experiences and their own leadership journeys, Matt and Bri discuss how advisors can use professional associations to build community, strengthen skills, and identify pathways for greater engagement. 

*Apologies for the audio issues in this episode!

Along the way, you’ll get:

• A mini travelogue of Vegas side quests (Wizard of Oz at the Sphere, kaleidoscope-level trippy exhibits, and the heartbreak of a missed Backstreet Boys moment)
• A peek into Matt’s world of podcasting, poster sessions, and pop-culture-powered professional development
• Bri’s honest take on being “the Canadian voice” in U.S.-centered spaces and how leadership feels from the inside
• The real tea on mentoring: imposter syndrome, connection-building, and why “learning partners” might be the better title

This episode sets the tone for Season 2: less polished podium and more hallway conversations. Welcome back!

*Emerging Voices is a spinoff of the Adventures in Advising podcast!
