Send us Fan MailYou can learn a lot about someone from the way they talk about family, food, and the job they chose when nobody was watching. I’m joined by Dom Baglier, an admissions counselor at Baldwin Wallace University, and we start where every serious life conversation should start: mustache loyalty, loud Italian households, and the kind of family stories that never die at Thanksgiving.Then we shift into the real substance behind Dom’s work in higher education. He breaks down what college admissions counseling actually looks like, from covering a huge recruitment territory to reading applications, answering emails from high school sophomores, and walking families through financial aid questions without making them feel lost. Dom also shares why he left staffing and recruiting, what “purpose” means to him now, and how being a first generation college student shapes the way he shows up for students who need a guide, not a sales pitch.We also hit soccer, travel, injuries, and the moment your body starts sending those “check engine” signals, plus a Cleveland love letter with an East Side vs West Side vote and a couple must try Cleveland restaurant recommendations. If you care about career clarity, the college search process, or just want a funny, honest conversation with real Northeast Ohio flavor, this one delivers.Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a laugh or a nudge toward purpose, and leave a review so more people can find the show.All music brought to you by former guest of the show SpeedoSubscribe for exclusive content: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1530455/support Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREETactical BrotherhoodThe Tactical Brotherhood is a movement to support America.Dubby EnergyFROM GAMERS TO GYM JUNKIES TO ENTREPRENEURS, OUR PRODUCT IS FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE BETTER.ShankitgolfOur goal here at Shankitgolf is for everyone to have a great time on and off the golf courseSweet Hands SportsElevate your game with Sweet Hands Sports!
