Roby Blust

In what may be the most blooper-reel worthy episode of the ALP so far, Roby Blust, Ken's second boss at Marquette University, demonstrates the importance of fun and humor while doing the noble work of college admissions, as well as how a crashed milk truck helped shape his view of what leadership means. Roby is the inspiration for a piece Ken wrote in 2018:  "Why do we do this?"

Shout outs from people who have worked with Roby include: Jeff Blahnik, Jenn Machacek,  Susan Teerink, Kim Frisch, Ed Moore, Aaron Meis, Adam Stout, Connie Bennett, Jean Burke, and Dan Hamrin.

This show is dedicated to Tom Weede, and when you listen to the end, you'll know why.
