Episode 6 - Yell Leader Wellbeing
This is an episode that you do not want to mis as Bruce is joined by Texas A&M's Head Yell Leader Keller Cox! Keller shares about the "on stage performance" vs "backstage work" that goes into being a high profile student ambassador while then focusing the conversation on well-being. Keller shares about what he has learned, sometimes the hard way, when balancing 300+ events, a pandemic, meetings, school work, preparation for events, travel, organization commitments, working out, friends, family, and more. In addition, Keller is a Texas Country Artist with a debut album coming out soon. Keller shares how he plans to take the hard lessons he has learned into the next stages of his life.
After the credits you can listen to one of Kellers great new songs "Bluebonnet Love."
