Going Big with Scott Beaulier: Rethinking Higher Ed with a First-Gen College Dean
Host Kevin Gentry sits down with Dr. Scott Beaulier, Dean of the University of Wyoming College of Business, for a conversation about what it takes to keep going when life and leadership get hard. Dr. Beaulier shares how growing up in Iron Mountain, Michigan, working his way up at McDonald’s, and being the first in his family to pursue college shaped his grit, discipline, and drive to pursue something bigger.
From marathon miles to major decisions, he unpacks the moments that define you, including “hitting the wall,” facing pressure, and pushing through when quitting feels easier. He also shares how mentors changed his trajectory, why higher education needs real innovation, and what it looks like to lead with purpose, resilience, and a willingness to challenge the status quo in order to create opportunity for others.
