In this episode of "Behind the Brand," David speaks with Leon Collins about various topics and events related to his work and community engagements.

The episode begins with an introduction and a warm welcome to the guest, Leon Collins, who is thanked for joining the show in Brantford, Connecticut.

David mentions Eric Feeney, a teacher from West Hartford, who runs a nonprofit organization called "Friends of Feeney." Eric recently had the opportunity to introduce and interview the Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona, with the help of interns from Branford High and Liberty University.

These interns are part of an internship program at Branford Community Television, which Leon is managing.

David recounts how Eric Feeney reached out to him months ago to plan a trip, initially intended to be conducted in person but later switched to a Zoom meeting due to logistical reasons.

Despite the shift to a virtual format, the interview with Miguel Cardona went smoothly, with Cardona being very gracious and the conversation lasting about 15 minutes.

The interns were present as the studio audience during the podcast recording, learning about the video production world.

Their involvement provided them with practical experience and insight into the industry, which they seemed to enjoy, as indicated by their smiles.

Leon shares a bit about his career journey, mentioning his time at Channel 3, starting around 2000 and leaving in 2013.

The episode highlights the collaborative efforts in the community, the importance of internship programs in providing real-world experience to students, and the seamless adaptation to virtual meetings to continue meaningful engagements.
