All-Conference Athlete Turned University Leader | The Rebecca Misencik Interview

In this episode, host Marcelo sits down with Rebecca Misencik, a former John Carroll University student-athlete and accomplished business professional whose journey is rooted in discipline, consistency, and purpose.

Rebecca’s story reflects exactly what this show stands for: real stories for the ones still chasing theirs, even when no one’s watching. As an All-Conference soccer player at John Carroll, she learned early that success is built through unseen work—showing up every day, embracing challenges, and committing to growth long before results appear.

Those lessons carried seamlessly into her professional life, where she has spent over 24 years building a successful career in business, leading with the same work ethic and mindset shaped on the field. Throughout it all, her connection to John Carroll never faded. Today, Rebecca remains deeply involved with the university as President of the Blue Gold Club, working to support student-athletes and strengthen the future of JCU athletics.

In this conversation, Rebecca opens up about overcoming obstacles, staying disciplined through demanding seasons, and the responsibility that comes with leadership. She reflects on the moments that shaped her character, the mentors who influenced her path, and the importance of giving back to the communities that helped build you.

Listeners will take away powerful lessons on perseverance, leadership, and quiet consistency—along with a reminder that meaningful progress doesn’t always come with recognition. More than an interview, this episode is a story about legacy, purpose, and continuing to chase what matters—long after the spotlight fades.
