Welcome to the Director Download, powered by Campus Rec Magazine.

It’s time to go behind the curtain of the director role and have honest discussions with leaders in the campus recreation industry.

In this episode, Grady Sheffield, the director of campus recreation at Towson University and the senior advisor to the Campus Rec Mastermind Groups, gives you the listener real and authentic conversation between himself and special guest, Steven Trotter, the director of well-being at East Carolina University (ECU) and the founder of Globetrotter Wellness Solutions.

His story starts as he set out to study pharmacy in college, but Trotter soon discovered campus rec along the way. As he fell in love with teaching fitness classes — and gained more and more responsibility — Trotter soon found himself deep in the industry. However, burnout eventually hit.

As such, he shares about the twists and turns his life took to get him to where he is today — heading up well-being at ECU’s forward-thinking campus while running his own consulting company.

And in it all, his goal is to equip people with the tools so they too can be wildly successfully.
