The Impossible Questions Podcast

Mission & Data Co-Founder and Partner Ari Betof co-hosts this podcast produced by the Enrollment Management Association. This podcast is all about impossible questions. What are impossible questions? If you’ve ever been in a meeting and been asked, “Will we be full next year,” or “How will COVID-19 impact us,” then you know what an impossible question is. It’s not that impossible questions don’t have answers, it’s just that they are very difficult to answer and each answer will be different for each school. On this show, we’ll unpack those impossible questions, think about some ways to address them, and talk with some of the most interesting, knowledgeable, and thoughtful voices in our industry.
