The Innovation Forge Podcast
Podcast Description
Data, marketing, and strategy converge to shape the future of Higher Education through Adaptive Enrollment Management. Whether you’re an enrollment manager, an ed tech professional, or someone excited about shaping the future of higher education, this podcast is your new workshop for forward-thinking ideas.
We’ll be running two main types of episodes. First, From the Foundry, where I’ll read unabridged chapters from my book, The Innovation Forge. Think of it as your personal audiobook session—no subscription or separate download needed. In each reading, we’ll explore the principles of scoring systems, predictive modeling, and adaptive enrollment management, that can transform how institutions understand, recruit, and craft their incoming class.
In the second type of episode we’ll have interviews featuring innovative leaders and artisans in data, marketing, admissions, and even specialized platforms like Slate. These 'Visiting Artisans’ are the people actively reshaping traditional practices, and together we’ll hammer out insights you can bring back to your institution or organization. We’ll talk about real-world applications, success stories, and challenges, all while highlighting the practical strategies that spark true innovation.

Join me as we explore Adaptive Enrollment Management in The Innovation Forge Podcast.
My stride evens out as the street opens up. Sunlight hits one side of my face.
You’re joining me on The Ember Walk, where curiosity meets motion. I’m David Dysart. Together we’ll take a few minutes to step through one idea that shapes the craft of enrollment.
The metal is always speaking.
Through behavior. Through silence. Through return. Through delay.
Your job is not to force it to answer. Your job is to listen.
I had to relearn this more than once. And I imagine, it’s a lesson I’ll learn again in the future as well.
Today, listen what the data is asking of you.
Let your spark speak, and let us know in the comments or DM me. What was that one thing? And how does it feel to tend to that flame?
Let your walk close this month with awareness instead of urgency.
And that’s The Ember Walk. The forge is yours now. Go make something worth the heat.
