Year one: ✔️ This week Allison is joined by Tony Wong, Chris Gibbons and Jesus Castaño, all first-year camp directors! The group shares candid insights on their unique paths to becoming camp directors as they recount their first summer as the shot callers.

The conversation takes off as they share the big takeaways from the last few months, what they didn't see coming, and who they had on their teams that lightened the load. The discussion extends further to their proudest moments, including high-performing health centers, customer service, and successful diversity initiatives.

If you're  looking to learn more about the experiences of new leaders (and maybe have a few moments of nostalgia), this is the pod for you.

Producer EmJ's Takeaways:

1. You are the only person in this position when you’re in it, even if your boss was once in your shoes. You're wearing the shoes now. 
2. It is lonely at the top. Make sure you have your support team built and ready!
3. Give yourself grace, you are holding so much on your shoulders.
