Elliot Armstrong: From the Starting Line to Student Government!

In this episode, I’m joined by Elliot Armstrong!!! A class president for a real, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about leadership, pressure, and finding balance when you’re doing a lot. We talk about what it’s actually like being the person everyone looks to, juggling school, politics, and life; plus how running track and cross country plays into discipline, mindset, and mental health. We get into the highs, the stress, the expectations, and that one very specific feeling you get when you’re overwhelmed but still showing up anyway (yes, we make it funny, don’t worry). From big-picture leadership lessons to small moments that keep you grounded, this episode is all about ambition, resilience, and being human while chasing big goals. If you’ve ever felt pressure to be “put together,” wondered how leaders handle stress, or just want a good laugh with a meaningful takeaway, this one’s for you.
