Season Two of the B-Student Podcast is officially here — and this episode marks a major milestone. In this powerful and reflective conversation, Betsy is joined by Addison Cursey, longtime collaborator, former Chief Marketing Officer of the Winter Park Chamber, and now the podcast’s resident correspondent on the mindset of young professionals in today’s workplace. Together, they unpack why the B-Student Podcast has resonated so deeply with listeners and viewers, what it means to deliver mentorship at scale, and how presence, judgment, and trust have emerged as the defining themes shaping careers in a rapidly changing professional world.
