Embark on a scholarly adventure with Dr. Jaime as he unfolds the tapestry of his podcast's first season, Season 1: Spring 1 2024, where the fervor of education meets the heart of community.

"As we transition into a Season 2: Spring 2 2024, a new season of growth and discovery, I invite you to revel in the revelations of our shared quest through the dissertation labyrinth." ~ Dr. Jaime.

In our first off-road discussion with Marla Curtis (Episode 4), we learned that the essence of academia isn't just in the tomes of libraries, but also in the support we find in each other, even as we traverse the paths of our busy lives. Our latest conversations navigated the diverse landscapes of psychological capital, revealing how hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism are not just abstract concepts but vital skills that can be nurtured and mastered (Deondré Rutuges - Episode 7). We discussed the compelling worlds of preacher's children (Carla Walker - Episode 9) and heritage leadership (Carol Fitzsimmons - Episodes 11 and 12), shedding light on personal and historical narratives that challenge and enrich our understanding of the past. Join us as we explore the transformative power of education on both a personal and societal level, affirming that the journey of learning is indeed a journey of the soul.

As we take our first few steps into the new season, Dr. Jaime invites you to listen along. If you are a graduate student, consider joining Dr. Jaime on a hike focused on reaching new ground and gaining traction on your scholarly goals.
