    [Day 11] The 12 Days of Podcasting 2025: Your Vision for 2026 with Connor Cox

    The 12 Days of Podcasting Presented by MGM Coaching Episode #11: Your Vision for 2026 with Connor CoxConnor is different than most guests we have had on The MGM Show. That is because he is still a Senior in high school. Connor is a student with us at The College Confidence Coach, and he is on easy street for the rest of his senior year. Why? Because for the last year +, Connor has been dedicated to learning about himself, focusing on his future, and working hard when his classmates were just sitting around. Now, he has all of his college acceptances in, and the tough decision is just saying where he wants to go. His classmates? They're panicked, scrambling, and worried about the future. Tune in to hear how CCC helps your students through the college admissions process, and how Connor can focus on his vision for the new year, rather than worry about what is next. Enjoy!
