About the Podcast

The Growing Good Humans Podcast is about Emerging Consulting’s transformative approach to the college application journey: We believe that the path to higher education should be one of self-discovery, passion cultivation, and personal growth.

On the podcast, we delve into the stories of extraordinary individuals who have harnessed this process not just to gain admission but to embark on this type of journey and develop a newfound and unshakeable independence.

Get ready to explore a new perspective, where the pursuit of education becomes a source of joy, empowerment, and meaningful development.
