Matt Story | 7/7/2020

Words can sow an idea into someone's life journey from an early age. This happened to Brandon Roberts, MD, when someone told him he should be a doctor. Without even knowing what it would take to do it, Brandon took the thought and saw it through to fruition in his own life and now seeks to plant similar seeds in the next generation of leaders. Brandon also shares what it was like winning the Academic Heisman and why he decided to give the trophy back to his alma mater, Washington University in St. Louis.Episode
