A new episode of the Take the Doughnut podcast is live today, featuring Wesley Fugate, Ph.D., president of Wilson College, in conversation with motivational keynote speaker and host Melissa Forziat.

In this inspiring interview, Fugate reflects on his journey as a first-generation college student who set bold goals and ultimately stepped into the college presidency. He shares how pursuing dreams requires both ambition and intention, breaking big goals into small steps while taking calculated risks along the way.

The conversation explores how relationships serve as both Fugate’s greatest motivator and biggest challenge, and how saying “yes” to opportunities—from leading an institution to co-producing a musical in London’s West End—can open unexpected doors.

 “When opportunity comes, embrace it,” Fugate encourages listeners.
