    Beth Leeds: Make a Lasting Difference in College

    Beth Leeds has been an activist since she was 7 years old, when she cut through red tape and got a stop sign installed at a dangerous intersection in one day! And she has been inspired to stand up and act ever since.Beth stopped a huge 3,500 unit housing development by inspiring 10,000 people to take action, walking "The Walk to Save Laguna Canyon." She helped stop the offshore rigs off California four times, and eventually flew to Washington, DC, to get Congress to pass the National Ocean Protection Act—which she helped draft in her kitchen! But how did she pay for these decades of action as a volunteer? Beth is not only an activist, she is an entrepreneur. Beth now lives in Hawaii with her daughter Marielle and their furry friend Buddy. She is still active in her many pursuits including creating her little white Truce Flags for Peace with students at elementary schools. In episode 717 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out how she became an activist at just seven years old, how to make a difference when you don't know where to start, what is "inspired action", how she was able to get 10,000 people to participate in the Walk to Save Laguna Canyon, how to persuade people who are resistant to change, turn a creative idea into a successful business, what to do when you experience rejection or disappointment, how to make a lasting difference in college, how to promote understanding and resolve conflicts on campuses, and what she hopes people remember most about Beth Leeds. Enjoy!

    Annette Benedetti: How Trauma Affects Future Relationships

    Annette Benedetti is a sex educator, intimacy coach, and host of the Talk Sex with Annette podcast. She built her career on a simple belief: pleasure is not a luxury and it's not shameful. It's a birthright. Most of us were handed silence, fear, or bad information about our bodies and desires. Her work exists to change that. Talk Sex with Annette now ranks in the top 1.5% of podcasts globally, with a community of hundreds of thousands across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. Every week she sits down with experts, researchers, and everyday people to have the honest conversations most of us were never allowed to have. No euphemisms. No shame. Just real talk about sex, bodies, and connection. She is the founder of Bi Women Empowered, a nonprofit close to her heart, and her work has been featured in Forbes, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, the New York Post, and SheKnows. In episode 716 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast (warning: we do talk about SA on college campuses in this episode), we find out what Annette learned through her conversations on the podcast "Talk Sex With Annette", is it too simplistic to teach consent as simply "yes means yes" and "no means no", can someone willingly consent to kissing, touching, or sex with one person and then withdraw that consent—or not consent to another person or another sexual act, why students hear the word "freeze" when discussing trauma but Annette also talks about submitting, appeasing, or becoming agreeable, why people ask after an alleged sexual assault "Why didn't they just leave?" and what they misunderstand about trauma, how alcohol and drugs immediately remove the ability for consent, why we've seen instances where survivors wait days, months, or even years before fully identifying what happened to them as sexual assault, what is the right way to respond when a friend comes to you the next morning and says, "I think something happened last night, but I'm not sure", and how trauma affect someone's future relationships, intimacy, body image, and sexuality.

In episode 715 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out how she got into the movie business, what was her immediate reaction watching the news on September 11th in 2001, what motivated her to get involved, what were some of the things you witnessed that most Americans still don't know about, what it was like being one of four women out of 1,500 workers in the Pit, what it was like on a daily basis working the Pit at Ground Zero, what did the experience at Ground Zero teach her about stepping forward to help, how college students develop the courage to step forward, when did she first realize that the experience was affecting her mental health, and what she worries younger generations are missing about what happened.

In episode 713 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why college sometimes feel so overwhelming even when everything appears fine from the outside, how important it is to have a group of people who genuinely know you and notice when something changes, why our need to belong is so powerful, why it's difficult to speak up when everyone else in the room seems comfortable with what's happening, how we can create a culture where saying "Hey, this isn't okay" actually increases someone's social standing, what is constant comparison doing to the mental health of college students, how can someone have hundreds or thousands of online connections and still feel profoundly alone, what should you actually say when you're worried about a friend, does she worry that students could increasingly turn to AI instead of other human beings when they are looking for advice, and what advice she has about protecting student mental health.

    Krista Demcher: Recruitment Conversations Students Remember

    Krista Demcher is a keynote speaker, consultant, and podcast host who helps teams grow by connecting more. Here's what she believes: As the world gets more automated, the real advantage is simple: stop 'selling' and start connecting. And the fastest way to connect? Tell better stories, by showing off your different..which is BETTER than better. Her journey to this work wasn't a straight line. She started as a licensed counselor, understanding what motivates people and what holds them back, and then she spent over a decade building an 8-figure sales team, where she discovered the missing link: people don't struggle with sales because they lack tactics —they struggle because they don't know how to tell their story authentically. Krista has been featured on NBC, CBS, Fox, and HerMoney, authored a LinkedIn Learning course, and generated 5M+ views across social platforms with content built on one core belief: authentic connection drives real results, because today's audiences crave real people over polished personas. In episode 712 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out what the sorority experience has meant to Krista, how chapters can figure out what makes them different, what are three pillars of personal branding, why stories are more persuasive than simply giving people facts about the organization, how to talk about why you joined the organization, how to move beyond small talk and create a real human connection, how to use AI technology without losing the authenticity, how to authentically help someone discover whether they belong, how to prepare every member to become a better recruiter, and what are the recruitment conversations that students remember. Enjoy!
