Finding Your Why with Brinley Blake

Season 6 kicks off with a powerful conversation featuring SGA president, soccer standout, and Miss Northeast Arkansas — Brinley Blake. In this episode, we explore the idea of finding your why, inspired by Dr. Norman’s Convocation address and Simon Sinek’s approach to discovering purpose through friendship and feedback. We reflect on The Walk, a defining tradition of New Student Orientation, and how experiencing it in person versus through the recap video shapes our perspective in different but meaningful ways. Along the way, Brinley opens up about her leadership journey, shares in a fun “Find Your Why” exercise, and we dive into campus news, upcoming events, and even a hot take on Chick-fil-A. Hosted by Truett Brannon and Bill Jeffery, The Williams Pulse continues its mission to enrich the student experience at Williams Baptist University by sharing stories, hacks, hot takes, and the heartbeat of campus life.
