Keepin' It 100 with Willy T. This one is powerful. Like, superpowerful (pun obviously intended). Marc and I originally met by working in the field of collegiate recreation, and he’s been an awesome source of support throughout my career. Hear from the King in the North himself on why he reads superhero comics to keep him going: "My typical day is never the same. Being a creature of habit, it is sometimes difficult to navigate hectic days of meetings, projects, meetings, emails, meetings, connecting with staff, oh, and meetings! Marc is currently the Executive Director for the Genesis Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, a community hub whose mission is to connect people in shared celebration, service, learning, and play! Previously, he worked for over 20 years in Student Affairs at 3 different institutions with the International Students Office, Residence Services, and 15 years with Campus Rec. Along with his Master of Leadership, he has extensive experience in developing leaders of the future and is committed to ensuring a respectful, collaborative, and engaging work environment which values inclusion, continuous development, and fun! In no particular order, he has defined himself as: Devout Partner | Lego Dad | Baller | Raps Fan | Comic Geek | Changemaker | Human | Lifelong Learner

FEATURE: Joey Cutting on “living out your values” To keep things fresh, I’ll sporadically host “Keepin’ it 100” style writeups from colleagues, friends and celebrities. It’s only fitting that for my first feature blog I host someone who is all three! World: meet Joey Cutting. Currently serving as the Assistant Director for Western Carolina’s Catamount Club, he’s the ultimate people person. Together, we co-class-clowned our ways to masters degrees as fellow marketing graduate assistants: Joey in athletics and myself in collegiate recreation. You may know him as “Emcee Joey” rocking the mic at sporting events. He’s probably stolen the show at your local karaoke night by singing (and yes, definitely dancing to) Enrique Iglesias’ “Hero.” If you’ve ever crossed paths with him - you know he embodies the true meaning of a friend. Fortunately, he’s shared the secret to his consistent authenticity: his core values - AKA the Five F’s Filosophy. Before you just assume he’s a terrible speller, let’s let him explain why his values drive his successful life: “1. Faith Faith in myself to do the right thing, believe in my upbringing, and the values my family has instilled in me. 2. Family The driver of my success—making them proud and living up to our name through respect and love. 3. Friendship The reason why life has been enjoyable thus far, plus the social balance needed to break free from adulthood stresses. 4. Fishing My biggest hobby and contributor to my peace and well-being. When I’m on the river, I’m in my happy place. 5. Fundraising Giving back full-time in philanthropy to my passion that will always be part of who I am – collegiate athletics.” FEATURE: Joey Cutting on “living out your values” To keep things fresh, I’ll sporadically host “Keepin’ it 100” style writeups from colleagues, friends and celebrities.
