If you told a young Javier Simons that he would one day own his own talent agency and hold an MBA from Rice Business, he would have been in disbelief.Growing up in Panama, Javier's path into the music industry was anything but conventional, he says. After years of waiting tables, Javier taught himself the business of entertainment from backstage, and fell in love with the in's and out's of talent booking and artist management. It was this passion that drove him to creating KOQ Agency, a global touring and talent agency representing independent artists. With the help of an MBA from Rice Business, Javier has scaled KOQ internationally, even booking Danish band Aqua's first U.S. tour.Javier joins co-host Brian Jackson '21 to talk about his path from club promoting to entrepreneur, what it really takes to build an artist's career from the ground up, how the MBA gave him the financial and leadership toolkit he was missing, what leading the Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Conference meant to him, and why staying “delusional” is the key to chasing and achieving your dreams.Episode Guide:00:00 Javier Simons Introduction01:03 Early Spark for Live Entertainment03:59 Hard Knocks Education06:53 Founding KOQ Agency09:42 Earning Artist Trust12:30 Booking Aqua U.S. Tour18:16 Riders and Show Crises21:06 Leadership at Denver Pride23:37 Why Rice MBA26:01 Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Conference Legacy29:01 Advice for Breaking Into The Music IndustryThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:On taking the risks to discover your potential15:20: One of the things that entrepreneurs need to have is take the risk, because I didn't know my full potential until I did that. Once I did Aqua, that's when I realized that there was no challenge big or small enough that I couldn't achieve. It was really an eye-opening moment, especially when I was going through launch week and starting my first semester of the MBA program. And I remember texting my, my core team at 5:00 AM. I said, "If you see me with bags under my eyes and you don't hear from me until 5:30 before class, this is why." And I sent them the poster of the tour before it had released, and they were so supportive. They were, they were very excited. I think in general, I was the only person working in music, so it was kind of fascinating to them to see somebody that was kind of working a field that I don't think anybody in my, in my cohort was, was working. I took them on a journey with me.What we call delusion as an adult is what a kid calls a dream28:19: What we call delusion as an adult is what a kid calls a dream, you know? And we always need to keep dreaming. I think as adults, we tend to not dream anymore. We tend to just go by facts and figures and, and analytics and, and understanding what the results and predictability and we really lose that charm, that innocence that really drove us when we were young to do things that we would never thought we could do. And I know that this is the beginning of something great, because I feel a big change coming.What's the biggest misconception artists have about building a sustainable career?36:07: I think the biggest misconception artists have is that there is only one pathway to monetize their art, and that is not true. A musician can monetize their music five different ways. Through publishing, through licensing, through live events, and ancillary revenue can be merchandised through the image of the artist and brand partnerships, of course. And there's also the element of music writing and being a producer, right? So learn how your art can be monetized. Don't record a song and throw it on, on SoundCloud and hope that it sticks.Show Links: Championing Diversity from Concerts to Classrooms: Meet Javier Simons, Professional MBA Student | Rice Business, Student StoriesTranscriptGuest Profile:Javier Simons | Rice BusinessJavier Simons | LinkedIn

This week, Nachi Gordon sits down with philanthropists Yossi Hoch and Simcha Shain to talk about the world of tzedakah, from the pressure donors carry to the changing psychology of giving. They open up about what has shifted since their parents' generation, how technology and platforms like Charidy have reshaped fundraising, and why some of the most established organizations now struggle to compete with flashier, newer causes. Along the way they share candid stories about donors who quietly write six figure checks and others who give up their Shabbos soda money, and why both matter equally.   The conversation turns personal as Yossi and Simcha discuss the hidden shame that comes with losing the ability to give, the toll of unfulfilled pledges, and what it really means to give with a full heart rather than a full wallet. They also dig into Shuvu, the organization educating thousands of children across Israel, including former hostage Bar Kuperstein, and share the story of how each of them first got involved. It's a wide ranging, honest look at what tzedakah costs, what it gives back, and why every dollar, no matter the size, counts.

Then the $25,000 sunglasses scavenger hunt game — Bravo used my iconic moment without saying my name and I have some very specific thoughts on why they still cannot let go of that scene from RHOBH Season 2 no matter how hard they try.

After nearly 30 years in education, Rachel Kugler made a leap most people at her stage of life are told not to make: she walked away from teaching, enrolled in ODEO Academy, and rebuilt a career in digital marketing and copywriting from the ground up.This conversation covers what pushed her out of the classroom, shares the internship-to-hire story behind her current role, and shares what she now tells other women in their 40s and 50s who ask her "now what?"Episode Highlights: Rachel shares why a 30-year teaching career transfers more directly into marketing than it might seem, from explaining complex ideas simply to holding a deadline no matter what else is happening.She gives the honest reality of a post-certification job search, and what got Rachel through it without a personal network to fall back on.Rachel details how a single internship platform placement turned into a full-time role in four weeks, and what her boss says actually made the difference.Her direct message to women in their 40s and 50s wondering if it's too late: it isn't, and life experience is a real advantage, not a liability.Why "ODEO is the beginning, not the end" shows up throughout her story, from a self-initiated AI webinar pitch to rewriting her own earlier work once she knew better.Episode Links:ODEO AcademySend us Fan MailFollow The Digital Marketing Mentor:Website and Blog: thedmmentor.comInstagram: @thedmmentorLinkedin: @thedmmentorYouTube: @thedmmentorInterested in Digital Marketing Services, Careers, or Courses?

It's one of the most feared moments in anyone's career – finding out you've just lost your job. After a layoff or an unexpected career transition, it can be hard to know where to start when it comes to finding your next opportunity, especially in the age of AI tracking systems and applicant pools of hundreds or even thousands of job candidates. So what can you do to stand out from the crowd? On the inaugural episode of Owl Have You Know's “Field Notes,” Marie Bergeron, director of career development for experienced hires and alumni at Rice Business, shares her top tips for landing a new job. Step by step, she walks co-host Brian Jackson '21 through the processing, planning and networking stages of the job hunt. Episode Guide:00:00 Layoff Survival Roadmap01:14 First 24 Hours02:02 Use Benefits and Severance04:05 Build a Targeted Plan06:37 Polish LinkedIn and Resume07:50 First Month Networking Wins11:20 Reaching Out the Right Way13:44 Avoid Panic Mistakes15:06 Compartmentalize the Emotions20:07 Spotting Desperation Signals23:24 Explaining the Layoff in Interviews29:31 Negotiate the Offer Confidently33:46 The Critical Role of NetworkingThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:The biggest mistake job seekers make20:14: [Brian Jackson] How can you pretty quickly tell that someone's doing their search from a place of panic rather than purpose? 20:34: [Marie: Here's the killer, "I'll take anything." This is not helpful. This is not helpful. If you're networking and telling somebody, "I'll take any job," they have no idea how to help you. You have to say, "I think I want to go into supply chain or perhaps procurement." You know? And that way the people's minds can go to who do they know in those areas.How to recover after a layoff16:13: In the old days, losing your job was a shame, you know? You did something wrong because people were employed for life, so to speak. But in today's world of private equity takeovers and quarterly reports of profitability and whatnot, companies reorg constantly to make their financial outcomes align with what the market wants, right? And so it happens so regularly now that it really shouldn't be as big an emotional outcome as it is, you know? And we do have to compartmentalize and say, "That's just business." Even though you think, "No, my boss hated me," or, "This one was talking about me and that's why it happened." It happened, and you have to put that in one box, and the other box is executing on my plan to get to where I want to be.Looking for a job can be fun22:33: You know, this is going to sound odd, but looking for a job can be fun. You reconnect with people you haven't talked to in a long time. You learn about opportunities you never thought that you might fit into. You, you feel kind of smart about the market. And if you like people, you're having coffee with people, you're having lunch with people, instead of sitting in your office in front of a computer screen, and it literally can be fun. And I realize there's a financial thing kinda sitting on your shoulder. But it's something that you can actually enjoy if you're doing it right.Show Links: Rice Business' Career Development OfficeTranscriptGuest Profile:Marie Bergeron | Rice BusinessMarie Bergeron | LinkedIn

What if volunteering somewhere changed your life forever?It might sound a little melodramatic, but that's exactly what happened for today's guest. After obtaining a Bachelor's Degree, a Master's Degree, and spending 7 years as an elementary school teacher, all it took was one specific volunteer position to change Amy's career trajectory. It was a cause she knew and loved and had enjoyed financially supporting. But when she started investing her time, something changed. She connected at a new level, grew in love for the work she was doing, and before she knew it, had filled out an application for employment.Enjoy the final conversation in our Side Quest series as we discuss one last way to invest your post-graduation free time with purpose: volunteering. And though you might not change careers because of it, is there a meaningful opportunity out there inviting you to invest your time and talents for the good of others?RELATED EPISODE(S)From Gap Year to Volunteer: Why "Failure" Should Always Be an Option (E87) - Apple, SpotifyOTHER RESOURCESAre you interested in serving a local InterVarsity chapter?

What Actually Happened at the June 2026 Career Conference Thirty-seven officers. Three hundred eighty-four interviews across two days. Every single officer pursued by an industry-leading company for the follow-up process. Two weeks later, most of the officers knew where they were launching their business careers. In this episode, Cameron-Brooks transition coach Brock Dudley sits down with two recent alums to talk through what the June conference was actually like and what they would tell an officer preparing for August. In this episode: – Why Jake went on five follow-up visits and received an offer from every one – How Xavier’s one location requirement nearly cut his options in half, and what changed his mind – What eleven interviews in two days actually feel like, and why they were conversations rather than tests – The number both officers say you should be comparing when you evaluate an offer, and it is not base salary – The two weeks after the conference, and the scheduling mistake to avoid Meet the panel: Xavier Mallet spent eight years in the Army as an engineer officer, leading a platoon in Hawaii and commanding a construction company in Germany. He is now a project manager at AMS Industrial in the Denver area. Jake Sidner served just about five years in the Marine Corps as an air defense control officer and left as a captain. He is now a go-to-market finance manager at Motorola Solutions in Chicago, where he grew up.

Send us Fan MailIn this short episode, Chasity and Scott sit down with Eastern Kentucky University seniors Reuben Jasinski and Kaitlyn Cully at the IAAI International Training Conference to discuss their fire research involving refrigerators using R-600a butane refrigerant. Their study examined whether fire investigators can distinguish between fires originating inside the refrigerator compressor compartment and fires originating externally based on resulting fire patterns and component damage. The students discuss burn testing, compressor data plate damage, refrigerator compartment fire behavior, door pressurization, refrigerant-line failures, and how the additional fuel from butane can influence fire development and observed patterns. They also explain what their findings could mean for determining the area of origin during refrigerator fire investigations and identify opportunities for future research involving realistic kitchen environments and additional fuel loads.Thank you for listening! If you enjoyed the episode, give us 5 stars, hit the follow button, and subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and anywhere you are listening in from. Follow us on social media!Instagram: @infocusfire_podcastLinkedIn: INFOCUS podcastFacebook: INFOCUS podcastTikTok: @infocus_podcast

And hobbies are no different.InterVarsity Alumna, Campus Minister, and professional ultimate frisbee player, Melissa LaFrance, joins this week to share how she didn't have time to go searching for a hobby after graduation because it found her first.

The Fast Lane with Ed Lane: Tuesday, August 11, 2026

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at the challenges facing Northeast and other community colleges across the state — many of which are not always visible from the outside. Ford discusses the changing landscape of higher education, including declining enrollment, the demographic cliff and budget pressures, as well as the structural and societal challenges affecting today's community colleges. Ford explains how institutions built around a 20th-century model of semester-based education are adapting to meet the needs of 21st-century students, including nontraditional learners seeking flexibility, stackable credentials and rapid skill acquisition. Ford also examines the pressure to move students quickly into the workforce or through short-term programs while ensuring they receive the broader education, guidance and pathways needed to continue their studies, develop as adults and build successful careers. While community colleges remain an affordable option, they face increasing pressure to demonstrate their return on investment in comparison with direct-to-workforce opportunities and short-term certificates. Ford explores how Northeast is responding to these challenges and working to provide meaningful educational opportunities for students and the communities it serves. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

It's Polly's birthday — and instead of celebrating herself, she's handing the mic to the dreamers. Hear from real Print School students who went from an idea in their head to a product in their hands. Today I am celebrating my birthday by highlighting the stories of dreamers who have brought their paper products to life. In this episode of the Dream Printing Podcast, Polly shares messages from Print School 2.0 students across different niches — faith, marriage, motherhood, homeschooling, and productivity — each holding a finished product they once only imagined. You'll hear from ten students who used Print School to go from idea to launch, including a children's bedtime book, a marriage relationship planner, a 12-month identity devotional, a homeschool and home management planner, a daily gratitude journal, and more.

Henry Richardson, a former national champion diver, has built a career centered around health, wellbeing, and community. After earning his MBA at Rice Business, Henry founded the fitness studio chain, DEFINE body & mind, a nod to a professor's words about defining your role in this world.  Henry's work with DEFINE has since evolved into Define Living, apartment communities with health and wellbeing at their core. In this episode of Owl Have You Know, hosted by Brian Jackson ‘21, Henry shares his journey from all-star athlete to entrepreneur, how he's creating environments that shape behavior and improve wellbeing, and why he believes business, at its best, is a spiritual practice.Episode Guide:00:00 Meet Henry Richardson00:55 Life in Tepoztlán02:40 From Diving to Teaching05:33 Yoga Turning Point09:19 Choosing Rice MBA10:39 The Moment That Sparked DEFINE14:29 Environment Shapes Behavior16:34 Define Living Community Model22:10 Leadership in Real Estate25:14 Positive Psychology Proof27:26 Feronia Retreat Vision31:56 Business As A Spiritual Practice35:46 Advice for Disconnection38:10 Defining His Role TodayThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:The lightbulb moment Henry knew he had to build something of his own[11:34]  I was in business school 2007 through 2009, and that was literally the time of the Great Recession. And so my first semester of my second year was when everything just essentially was bleak. I remember one of my professors, he said, "Look, last year 75% of students at this point had job offers, and this year only 25%. So it's a complete flip, right? And so things aren't as hopeful as they perhaps were over a year ago.”  And he said the phrase you just mentioned. He said, "Listen, don't take a job just because it's available. Take something that's going to define your role in this world." And I just, like, stopped in my foot track, like, this may not be exactly what I do, but if I do, if I open up a studio, a fitness studio, I'm calling it Define.That's exactly the thing I needed. And I actually have to admit, I cut my next class, which I am not one prone to do. I feel like I'm a good student, right? But I cut my next class, and I filed my DBA for Define in Harris County. On why Henry sees business as a spiritual practice, not just a hustle [32:12] Business is actually a very spiritual process. It is discipline. It's devotion. It is connecting to something that's bigger than yourself so that you can be better than just the individual self that you are. And I think business is very much like that. I feel like if you are working in an industry that you're passionate about, that you want to contribute to, it can be something that can be utilized for the good of humanity. You know, doing well by doing good, that whole mindset. His calculated approach to big leaps like taking the plunge at Rice Business School [13:17] I'm creative, and I'm adventurous for sure. I mean, I used to dive from a 10-meter platform. But I'm not just, like, blindly foolish in anything I do. I'm pretty calculated in terms of the approach that I take to most things. Like in diving, you start on the one meter, and then you go to the three, and then you go to the five, and then you go to the seven, and then you go to the ten. And so there's these steps that take you along this path, and the exact same thing happened with me at business school. And it was so powerful because Rice was the quote-unquote "platform" for me to dive and jump into my business, and it gave me the path and the training to feel confident.Show Links: Define LivingFeronia | Retreat and Event VenueBreathing Life Back in Business, Henry Richardson | TEDxTranscriptGuest Profile:Henry Richardson | LinkedInHenry Richardson | Rice Business

Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at the legislative priorities for not only Northeast but all 15 community colleges in the Magnolia State. Ford breaks down the three pillars that the community colleges will be asking the Mississippi Legislature to fund in 2027, including $41.5 million for the Jobs Promise Performance Program to train 5,500 highly skilled workers for high-demand careers, $39 million in general support to improve salaries and retain talented educators, and $100 million for capital improvements and necessary campus repairs. Ford also explains the funding formula used to distribute resources among Mississippi's community colleges and how each of these investments would directly benefit Northeast students, faculty, and facilities.

Ford highlights the critical role Adult Education plays in workforce development, from helping individuals earn their HiSET to preparing them for employment or continued education at Northeast.

In this special live taping of The (Im)Perfect Cheerleader I am sitting down with TopCats alum at the Beyond the Field alumni event focused on three pillars: Rise, Rally, and Restore. We did a somatic yoga session, line danced, and connected with each other for recharging and resetting. As you can see in the video, alumni had booths set up to showcase their businesses and platforms. I had a chance to interview amazing alumni on site who shared their personal stories of how they rise, rally, and restore after TC life. Anyone can get something out of these conversations, so I hope you enjoy them! I want to give a special shoutout to Dr. Lenee Cook-Braxton and Cyndi Crosby for inviting me to be a part of this event and for letting me sit down with them. Special thanks also go DaWanda Bittle, Annalise Coleman and Hannah Grey Elrose for sharing the mic with me.

For Alecia Harris '23, art is as essential as breathing, and it's something everyone deserves to have access to. So she's turned that belief into a career that sits at the intersection of art and business, with a mission focused on making art accessible.After years working in arts programming and visitor engagement at Rice University's Moody Center for the Arts, she earned her Professional MBA from Rice Business, then pivoted into private wealth management at J.P. Morgan, where she built a client book of art collectors and museum donors. Now, as chief development officer at the Rothko Chapel, she's channeling all of that experience into leading fundraising and development for one of Houston's most iconic cultural institutions, during a pivotal moment in its history.Alecia joins co-host Brian Jackson '21 to discuss her winding path from art history to finance and back, what “radical hospitality” means in practice, how her MBA gave her the 50,000-foot view she needed, and why Houston's next generation of patrons must step up to steward the city's world-class cultural institutions into the future.Episode Guide:00:00 Meet Alecia Harris01:09 Finding Art History02:29 Art Without Intimidation05:02 Radical Hospitality06:26 The Rothko Chapel07:39 Renovation and Light09:13 Why Get an MBA12:21 From Arts to JPMorgan14:26 MBA Learning Curve15:46 Art Advantage in Banking21:37 Development Role Day to Day23:43 Leadership Across Sectors28:17 Travel for Art31:08 Houston Hidden GemsThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Why arts shouldn't be a luxury 5:41: If you stand in front of a piece of work, often Rothko paintings, like people talk about having your Rothko moment, like people are moved to tears. They have these transformative experiences in front of it. Why shouldn't that be available to everybody? And for me, even when I was working in, at JPMorgan, and I was working in finance, I had to have access to art every day because for me, it's like breathing. And I think good art holds a mirror up to society. It helps you process universal truths. It helps you connect to people. It's so important to me. It's not a luxury. It's something that I think everybody has to have access to it. And so anything that I can do to make people feel as if they also have an ownership over this, they have a right to access it, that's something that I'm very motivated by.The 50,000-foot view of leadership23:15: I never would have had that 50,000 square foot view or really been able to understand how all the different pieces came together if I hadn't gone to business school. So I'm so, so fortunate that I have that perspective. One, just the scope of programs that we learned at Rice, but then also getting that experience working at the bank and now being able to bring all of that to this very worthwhile organization is incredibly meaningful.Why curiosity makes better leaders23:55: For me, there's not really the qualities that I look for in a leader that I don't look for and think are worthwhile in just general human beings. Like this curiosity and openness, a willingness to listen. I think we can learn so much from unexpected places, take inspiration from unexpected places. I'm somebody that's a big info gatherer, and I'll take something and it's like I don't really know what I'm going to do with that or why I needed to know that right now, but I'll put it, you know, in my back pocket. And then those moments when you're able to make the connection later and it kind of unlocks new meaning or new opportunity, those are always really rewarding.Show Links: Rothko ChapelMoody Center for the Arts | Rice UniversityTranscriptGuest Profile:Alecia Harris | Rothko Chapel
