Leaders are Human Podcast

The Leaders Are Human Podcast peels back the surface of leadership to reveal the deeply human journey behind it. Hosted by Angel B. Pérez, CEO of the National Association for College Admission Counseling, this series features candid conversations with some of today’s most impactful leaders across education, nonprofit, and civic sectors. Guests share not just what they’ve accomplished, but who they’ve had to become along the way.

Through honest and often vulnerable storytelling, they reflect on the inner work that has shaped their leadership and the ongoing process of self-discovery. We also explore a powerful truth: the way we lead and the decisions we make about our careers are deeply connected to our upbringing, our personal stories, and the challenges and triumphs that define us.

Whether you’re an established leader or just beginning your journey, this podcast will challenge you to reflect more deeply, lead more intentionally, and serve others with greater clarity and courage.
