Micah and Addie keep it cozy and candid — from pizza preferences and dorm-life logistics to a surprise plan to register Biscuit as an ESA and sneak her into the dorms. Addie shares a memorable forensic science guest lecture, job-hunting frustrations, and why college life feels heavy right now. 

The heart of the episode dives into leadership: band camp stories, solo & ensemble catastrophes, movement camp, debate and powerlifting experiences, and the mentors who shaped her. Addie explains why relationship-driven leadership — trust, honesty, and being treated like a capable person — matters more than titles or technical skill. Warm, funny, and reflective, this episode mixes small-town banter with big lessons about leading well.

Listen for: pizza talk, Biscuit the ESA, underwater recovery stories, marching band memories, and practical leadership takeaways you can use anywhere.
