This week, we feature Justin Fincher (Chief Deputy to the President of Stony Brook University and Senior Vice President for Government and Community Relations and Executive Director of the Stony Brook Foundation) for the second time.

The first time he was featured was episode 55 where he spoke with Mike Eicher in his former role at The Ohio State University.

Justin’s view on leadership inspires me. We talk about how he has navigated his career path, ways he has created growth for himself, and how he has guided his team to step up in times of change. Justin encourages us to find the signal in the noise and inhabit the gap! We get to hear a bit about what Stony Brook’s “secret sauce” is and I encourage you to think about what it is at your home institution. Let’s get started.

 Please reach out and follow on @devebrief. Let me know if you decide to explore your secret sauce and if you found this episode helpful. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
