🎙️ From Shocker Spirit to Innovation Nation — with Bobby Gandu
This week on The Pickup Meeting, Kevin and Brody are back with birthday cake in hand for a laugh-filled chat that goes from tight-rolled jeans and cheesecake to Wichita State’s wildest ideas made real. 🎂
Their guest? The one and only Bobby Gandu, Associate Vice Provost at Wichita State University, a marketing-minded leader who shares how bold vision and collaboration has led to a thriving innovation hub that's changing lives.
You’ll hear:
⚡ The quirky origin of the WuShock mascot (yes, it’s a wheat-eating bundle of wheat!)
🎓 Blending marketing strategy and higher ed leadership to engage new generations of students
💡 The story behind Wichita State’s hands-on learning model — connecting students, industry, and community impact
🍕 Why the world’s first Pizza Hut is now a museum (and a slice of Kansas history)
🎶 Plus: Concert stories, favorite movies, and nostalgic 80s-90s talk
It’s one part birthday bash, one part college-spirit celebration, and all heart. Tune in for stories that prove innovation, humor, and community make the perfect mix.
