Bonus Episode: Live from the Jerry Flora Football Combine! 

From Carpool to College recorded live at the Jerry Flora Combine on turf field of Kean University, where we added college-planning guidance to the energy of a live athletic event.

In this bonus episode, we reached into the Parent Question Jar and answered real questions families have about college planning, athletics, recruiting, academics, college fit, and what students should be doing now to prepare for what comes next.

Our live broadcasts give families more than a front-row seat to the action. They create an opportunity to learn, ask questions, and get practical guidance from experienced college-planning professionals while supporting their athletes.

What if the bravest thing a young person could do… wasn’t getting into the “right” college?In one of the most profound conversations we’ve ever had on From Carpool to College, we sit down with Maggie Doyne — bestselling author, CNN Hero, founder of BlinkNow, and one of the most deeply authentic voices we’ve encountered in the world of education, purpose, and human development.At 18 years old, Maggie took a gap year that changed the trajectory of her life forever. What began as a backpacking trip became a global mission that would ultimately transform the lives of hundreds of children in Nepal through the creation of the Kopila Valley Children’s Home and School.But this episode is about something even bigger.It’s about the dangerous pressure we place on teenagers to tether their worth to prestige, rankings, acceptance letters, and “dream schools.” It’s about fear, identity, parenting, mental health, and the courage it takes to ask a different question:“Who is this child becoming?”Maggie challenges nearly every assumption our culture makes about success, education, and the college admissions race — and honestly, we needed this conversation as much as our listeners will. Her wisdom is grounding, provocative, compassionate, and deeply human.This may be one of the most important episodes we’ve ever released.If you are a parent, educator, counselor, or student trying to navigate the overwhelming pressure of modern achievement culture, this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.Topics include:

• Gap years and “launch years”
• Redefining success
• College admissions pressure and identity
• Parenting through fear
• Mental health and achievement culture
• Why rejection can become redirection
• The questions we should really be asking young people
• Purpose, humanity, and building a meaningful life

We adore and deeply respect Maggie Doyne — not simply for what she has built, but for how courageously and compassionately she sees people.This episode felt less like an interview…and more like a wake-up call.*watch the video podcast on our YouTube Channels
