b"Josh, Anthony, Anna-Maria, and Jake discuss Monday's interview with Blake Thompson, president at Mississippi College. The conversation includes how to understand what it means to find a compelling opportunity, whether or not humility is enough to get you to the top of an organization, and the balance between the character/competence/charisma equation that Dr. Thompson shared. There is also some discussion on how to care more about your organization than yourself in a healthy way as well as how to develop culture as a leader.\\nKey Takeaways:\\n- Character has staying power, so ground yourself in principles. \\n- Most of your choices aren't lifelong. Pursue goals and dreams. If an opportunity passes you by, keep a lookout for the next one.\\n- Don't let your age limit yourself.\\n- Remember to surround yourself with accountability and wise counsel.\\n- The higher we get, the more important humility becomes.\\n- Take the next step without trying to figure out the entire journey.\\n- Develop your character, competence, and charisma. But value them in that order.\\n\\nMusic credits:DJ Quads | Cruise Around | Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/aka-dj-quads/cruise-aroundDJ Quads | It Just Makes Me Happy | Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/aka-dj-quads/it-just-makes-me-happy"
