In this episode of On the Subject, host Michael Vilardo welcomes the show’s first-ever student guest—Leo Jimesanagnos , a gifted musician, dedicated scholar, and aspiring medical researcher. From performing violin in Fresno State’s youth orchestra and mariachi ensemble to pursuing a future in genetic research inspired by his own health journey, Leo shares how music, discipline, and gratitude have shaped his path. This inspiring conversation is a reminder of why On the Subject was created in the first place—to keep students at the heart of the conversation about innovation in education.
