S3 E6: Books & Bytes: Skills and Credentials or Technology? Ft. Charlotte Waite and Dahiana Padilla

Hey folks, welcome to Season 3 Episode 6 of Life of a Content-Creating College Student! In this episode, I share two major wins from the past two weeks: I went ice skating for the first time—proving that stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to amazing new experiences—and I added another credential to my resume, opening even more doors. On the academic front, I’ve been deep into my Ethical Leadership Certification Program, dissecting the differences between personal and organizational ethics, and revisiting leadership models to sharpen my skills. These lessons reinforce the importance of balancing academic rigor with real-world experience—a balancing act every college student and content creator understands.On the content creation side, we dive into critical updates, including our ongoing journey with the WayneZ0207 5th Anniversary Awards.
