6.10 - “Stay Calm, Don’t Snap: The EQ Survival Guide for Advisors & Leaders”
Let’s be honest—admissions and leadership can be an emotional rollercoaster. One minute you’re inspiring someone’s future, the next you’re talking a student off a metaphorical ledge… or holding back from rolling your eyes on Zoom.
In this solo episode, Kat breaks down emotional intelligence like only she can—with straight talk, a little sass, and a whole lot of strategy. You’ll learn how to keep your cool when things get heated, handle objections like a pro (without catching an attitude), and lead your team without losing your sanity.

6.8 - Your School Is Bleeding Enrollments—Financing Is the Fix
In this episode, I sit down with Darius Goldman, founder of Career Bond, to expose the biggest enrollment killer—lack of financing options. Schools aren’t just losing students; they’re losing revenue because marketing, admissions, and financial aid teams are stuck fighting a battle they can’t win without the right tools.
Darius shares his journey from Meratas to Career Bond and why he’s doubling down on solving this problem. We break down the brutal reality of the enrollment funnel—students want to enroll, but without flexible funding options, they disappear. We discuss the direct impact on lead conversion, the student journey, and how schools can flip the script by offering smarter financing solutions.
We also get real about pushback—what went wrong with Meratas, concerns about Career Bond, and why institutions need to rethink their approach before they bleed out more enrollments. If you're in marketing, admissions, or financial aid, this episode is your wake-up call. Tune in and take notes!
