RU alumni Jeri Bingham, Founder of HushLoudly, a podcast and brand dedicated to amplifying the voice of introverts, and her classmate, RU alumna Kristina B. Hill pull back the veil on some of the mysteries surrounding introverts.

In a conversation between two former classmates, they talk about the common misperceptions about introverts, and how they are often misunderstood in a society that tends to reward the most extroverted behaviors. They also share their stories and how they created their own paths for success.
