Designing Professional Communities That Actually Matter
Episode 67
Wednesday, 28 January, 2026
In this episode, we take a hard look at what real peer connection actually requires and why it’s so difficult to sustain. We're joined by Jackson Boyar, co-founder and CEO of RallyBoard, to explore a model that prioritizes intentional peer groups, shared responsibility, and human interaction over algorithm-driven noise. Together, we unpack what meaningful connection really looks like, how technology can help scale our efforts, and how leaders and participants should rethink engagement, value, and return on time. Hosted by Michelle Apuzzio.Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Degrees of Impact, where we explore innovative ideas and the people behind them in higher education.
