Episode notes

Trent Noonan didn’t just survive one of the toughest engineering schools in the country—he thrived as both a student and an athlete. In this episode of the Executive Function Hour, Trent sits down with Brandon Slade to share the real-life strategies that helped him navigate football, lacrosse, and a master's in civil engineering at Colorado School of Mines.

They cover the power of structured routines, building a support system, managing decision fatigue, and why humility and accountability are critical for student success. Whether you're a parent wondering how to support your student-athlete, or a high achiever yourself, this conversation is full of the real, practical insight we wish we'd had in college.
