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

Dungeon Crawler Carl casting is heating up—but is Seth Green the right Mordecai?Seth Green has thrown his hat into the ring for the role of Mordecai in Peacock's upcoming live-action Dungeon Crawler Carl series.

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

After building a career in enterprise risk management and rising to senior leadership in banking, Kenzel Fallen '12 and her husband Tio turned a shared passion for specialty coffee into Three Keys Coffee — a roastery and cafe focused on sustainability, creativity and music. What started as a side project during COVID has since landed on the shelves of Trader Joe's and been named Food & Wine's “Best Coffee Roaster in Texas.”As CEO of Three Keys Coffee, Kenzel is combining her Rice MBA training with her risk management mindset to navigate the daily challenges of owning a rapidly growing business. On this episode, she joins co-host Brian Jackson '21 to chat about the inception of Three Keys Coffee, why entrepreneurship was a surprising path for her, and how Rice Business provided the right launchpad.Episode Guide:00:00 Meet Kenzel Fallen01:02 How Love Brought Her to Rice Business05:27 From Risk to Coffee Entrepreneurship09:13 Shopping Your Values12:00 Working as a Couple14:59 COVID Launch and Growth18:08 Sourcing and Supply Chain21:35 Jazz Brand Inspiration25:03 Awards and Recognition30:41 Coffee Impact and Purpose35:04 What's Next for Three Keys37:31 Distinguished Alumni Honor39:10 Advice for Aspiring FoundersThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Your network is your education04:36: Sometimes when people hear that, you know, your network is your net worth, it's almost more of a sense of, someone can just get you an introduction, or they can get you in a room. And it's not so much about having adjacency to people. I think that's more, that's like social climbing, right? But when you network, I see that as sharing. I see that as exchanging information and insights. And so, for me, when I think of that phrase, like "network is your net worth," I look at that as enhancing your education, enhancing your perspective, enhancing how deeply you understand the world and society that we live and work in. And sometimes you do have to rely on a lot of different experiences and perspectives. And for me, that's how that network expands.Bringing the cafe experience at home22:50: Jazz was actually one of the genres that helped with the advent of, you know, vinyl albums. You know, people wanted to be able to take that live music experience but be able to enjoy it and celebrate it at home. Prior to some of the early jazz recordings, there really was just, like, classical music that had actually been put on vinyl. And so jazz allowed people to bring home that concert and that live band experience, and that's the same thing that we kind of wanted to do with coffee. It's like, "Hey, you don't have to go to a shop. You get the right beans. You understand how to make them. You can have that cafe experience at home." And so kind of drawing that parallel as well in the way that we wanted to create coffee and share coffee with people.The email that changed everything25:25: I remember getting an email that was like, "Hey, we're thinking about doing, you know, highlighting different coffee shops. Can you send us some pictures of your shop?" And it was from Food & Wine, but I'm just thinking, "Oh, they're just going to highlight a bunch of folks." I had no clue. I truly had no clue until the announcement was made that we were named. They had us on the list as the best in Texas. We were just, I mean, mind-blown.Show Links: Three Keys CoffeeTranscriptGuest Profile:Kenzel Fallen | Rice BusinessKenzel Fallen | LinkedIn

Can you dig it?The Warriors are coming out to play again—but this time, they're heading to Broadway. Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis are transforming the cult 1979 Walter Hill movie into a full stage musical based on their acclaimed concept album. Their version reimagines the Warriors as an all-female gang and combines hip-hop, rock, salsa and R&B.Can the gritty story of a Coney Island gang fighting its way home survive the jump to Broadway, or does turning The Warriors into a Lin-Manuel Miranda musical completely miss what made the original movie work?We also get into Michael Caine licensing an AI-generated version of his voice to narrate The Odyssey, Instagram's attempt to become television, Hollywood's improving box-office numbers and the deeply uncomfortable Season 3 premiere of House of the Dragon.Plus, Trailer Trash features Ricky Gervais' Alley Cats, King of the Hill Season 15 and Apple TV's The Dink.

Two Rice alums are shaking up the renewable energy world with Tierra Climate, an AI-powered energy storage platform that's quietly reshaping how the power grid works.Co-founded by Jacob Mansfield (BA '16) and Emma Konet (PMBA '24), Tierra Climate is driven by a shared belief that the transition to clean power needs to happen faster. Both have been passionate about the energy space since early in their careers, and when they saw an opportunity to use AI and software to accelerate the deployment of storage on the grid, they committed fully, leaving stable careers behind to build something that could make a real impact on climate change.They join host Brian Jackson '21 to trace their unlikely path from Citibank trading desks to startup life. They open up about the underlying anxiety of early-stage founding but why entrepreneurship is still worth it, how large-scale batteries are being underutilized on the grid, and the ways the Rice network keeps showing up.Episode Guide:00:00 Introductions & Origin Stories06:29 Founding Tierra Climate11:39 Customers & the Energy Storage Market16:36 The Startup Journey23:11 Taking the Leap & Building with AI29:29 The Rice Network & Industry Trends35:33 What's Next & the Texas PilotThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Magic happens when you commit20:13: [Jacob Mansfield] I had a professor in business school that said that magic happens when you commit. There's some sort of like lucky space of serendipity that you invite, and you talk to people, and you clearly come from the space and you understand their pain points, and yet you've kind of left all of that world to try to solve the problem. I think that's pretty compelling for folks. I think it's committing at inception, but it's like a continual process of commitment throughout the entire journey.On finding the courage to go all in18:48: [Emma Konet] I think going into that program, I'm not sure I ever would've quit my job and foregone health insurance and taken the big risk, because I was scared. I mean, I was genuinely like, "Oh, like, that feels really risky. I'm not sure my risk tolerance is there." But through the process of my MBA, I think because Rice is so focused on entrepreneurship, that's kind of in the veins of the MBA program throughout. I basically got convinced that it wasn't as big of a risk as I thought, and I think throughout that program, it just made me realize, you know what? Just do it. Like, it was kind of the "just do it, just take the leap" mentality that pushed me over the edge, and I'm very glad that I went full-time on this. On building something that matters16:11: [Jacob Mansfield] Emma and I used to joke early on this concept of existential dread, which I'm sure founders can relate to. You know, when you work in a big organization, it may get some little nervousness around, like bonus day or when you hear, there's going to be some reorg. But generally speaking, I wasn't concerned, going in day in and day out, that Citibank would be in existence. It was one of the largest companies in the world. And so I think the difference is when you start a company, you do have, like, those butterflies in your stomach or that kind of like, okay, like, I want to make sure that what I'm building is going to amount to something and be meaningful.Show Links: Tierra Climate“Clean Energy's Missing Link” | Rice MagazineTranscriptGuest Profile:Jacob Mansfield | LinkedInEmma Konet | LinkedIn

Following an upbringing as an expat in Jakarta, Indonesia, today's guest is applying his unique worldview to the management consulting industry and helping clients solve complex business challenges with digital solutions. David Aldrich, a Rice Business alum from the Professional MBA Class of 2015, serves on the Rice Business Alumni Association Board and is a practice lead at EPAM Systems, a management consulting firm where he focuses on energy and AI. David joins co-host Brian Jackson '21 to discuss his journey of growing up abroad and how the Rice MBA helped him pivot into consulting. They also explore how AI is reshaping the consulting industry and how Rice Business became not just his alma mater, but a lifelong community and support system. Episode Guide:00:00 Meet David Aldrich02:00 Growing up in Jakarta05:27 Landing in a Philosophy Major07:38 Venturing Into Startup Sales at FlightAware12:00 Pivoting to Consulting Through a Rice Professional MBA18:09 Life at EPAM Systems21:47 Finding Digital Solutions for Clients Through AI28:55 What Makes a Good Consultant31:36 The Ukraine War's Impact on EPAM37:09 Life Outside of Work39:38 Giving Back to Rice41:12 Alumni Breakfast Series42:59 Future of AI Consulting46:39 ClosingThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:An advice for students who want to get into consulting17:12: My advice to students that want to go into consulting is you need to get really good at the AI piece, right? Study right now and get proficient with tools like Anthropic, tools like, you know, ChatGPT's Codex, tools like, you know, Gemini's Nano Banana, and, like, PaperBanana, the new one that they just announced. You have to be proficient in this space and be certified in this space, too. Like, Claude just announced a certification program. You can go get certified as, like, an Anthropic Claude architect. It's free. You can do it. Like, these are things that I think you need to have on your resume to position yourself for value, regardless of what strategy you take. If you want to go into strategy consulting or Big Four or technology, having those new skills on how to create agent capabilities for clients is going to be the table stakes to separating yourself from, I think, other people who are also looking to go into consulting.Adapting to AI with caution26:15: I don't think you should stop AI adoption because of that potential, but I think it's important to understand that there's things that you can do right now to enhance productivity by using these tool sets. There's other things that require, I think, a little bit more due diligence, and is it the right decision to completely re-architect the way we work with agents? Because what's good for Anthropic and how they might not be the best thing for your company long term.What makes a good consultant29:10: A good consultant is not afraid to ask questions, to push clients, and, kind of, challenge thinking. I think there's an art to being able to do that without offending and pissing clients off, and understanding when you have the opportunity to, kind of, push hard to get clients thinking in a different way. I think the other key part is being able to be hungry for any opportunity and not scared to learn any new topic, right? Because the nature of consulting is that you're being thrown into a bunch of different businesses, and no matter how much you've worked in a specific industry or at, like, businesses, there's always going to be something new that they're doing, whether it's from a technology that they're using, a process that they're following, the nomenclature that they're using.Show Links: Learn more about EPAMTranscriptGuest Profile:David Aldrich | Rice BusinessDavid Aldrich | LinkedIn
WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us Fan MailRecent developments across the enterprise software landscape underscore a dual narrative of rapid AI-driven innovation alongside growing skepticism around how value is measured and delivered. Critiques such as the limited practical relevance of metrics like AWU from Salesforce highlight the disconnect that can emerge between vendor messaging and CIO priorities, even as the broader ecosystem accelerates toward agentic and automated capabilities. Companies like Incubeta and Intentsify are expanding data-driven and agentic offerings, while Klaviyo integrates with ChatGPT to embed conversational intelligence into marketing workflows. Enterprise application vendors are also advancing domain-specific innovation, with Unanet targeting GovCon growth automation, Aptean enhancing routing intelligence, and Oracle and Sage introducing AI-driven enhancements across financial services and ERP platforms such as Sage X3. Meanwhile, partnerships like Cognizant with Uniphore and acquisitions such as ActiveCampaign acquiring Feedback Intelligence reinforce a broader trend: enterprise systems are increasingly converging around AI-infused automation, but buyers must remain vigilant in distinguishing substantive capabilities from surface-level innovation narratives.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds, including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendor.

Earl stops by to talk about:* His cameo in the final season of The Boys
This week on Radio Labyrinth, Hollywood might want to check its ego—because the next generation of filmmakers didn't come up through film school… they came from YouTube.We break down the growing trend of digital creators making the jump to major studio projects, from Markiplier topping the box office with Iron Lung to indie creators landing massive franchises like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Is this the future of filmmaking… or just Hollywood chasing the algorithm?Also this week:* The bizarre (and very real) possibility of Tim Heidecker helping reboot InfoWars under The Onion banner* Backlash over Euphoria pushing boundaries (or just pushing buttons?)* Early reactions to the Michael Jackson biopic Michael* A packed Trailer Trash segment featuring Super Troopers 3, Godzilla Minus Zero, Busboys, and more* Plus Views or Snooze? with the latest streaming picks including Stranger Things: Tales From '85 and moreFrom Hollywood gatekeeping to YouTube disruption, we're asking the big question—Are creators replacing directors… or just rewriting the rules?
The case of Mickey Douglas centers on a deadly shooting at a Coney Island–style restaurant in Detroit in July 2020, where Douglas opened fire inside the establishment after a brief interaction reportedly triggered by a comment about his girlfriend. The attack killed three victims—Brian Jackson, Carnell Watts, and Courtney Willis—and left a fourth person seriously injured.Prosecutors charged Douglas with multiple felonies, including three counts of first-degree murder and assault with intent to murder, and evidence showed he had a prior violent criminal history and was on parole at the time. He was later convicted of second-degree murder and related charges and sentenced to decades in prison (roughly 40–60 years per count), with the court describing the shooting as senseless and unprovoked, stemming from a minor dispute that escalated into lethal violence.https://www.unforbiddentruth.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.
This week on Radio Labyrinth, we sit down with comedy legend Craig Shoemaker — a man who's been making audiences laugh for over 40 years and somehow turned it into both an art form and a wellness movement.You know him as The LoveMaster, you've seen him in Parks and Recreation, Scream 2, and countless Comedy Central specials (including one ranked among their all-time best)… but Craig's story goes way deeper than stand-up.We talk about:* His spot-on Don Knotts impression and Hollywood work behind the scenes* Wild personal stories (including cults, family chaos, and everything in between)* How he turned comedy into a tool for healing, communication, and transformationCraig also breaks down his work with Laugh Bath™, and how humor can actually change your brain (yeah… we weren't expecting that either).
When Professor Yael Hochberg made the decision to come to Rice, she had a vision for building an entrepreneurship program like no other — it would be one for the modern era that would set the pace for entrepreneurship education going forward. Now, more than a decade later, Rice consistently ranks number one in the country for entrepreneurship and is leading the way in world-changing innovation through hubs like the Liu Idea Lab for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Lilie), which offers experiential learning opportunities and co-curricular activities.In this episode, Professor Hochberg, head of the Rice Entrepreneurship Initiative and Lilie, joins co-host Brian Jackson '21 to discuss how she brought her vision for a modern entrepreneurship program to life at Rice, the incredible innovation that has come from Lilie over the last 10 years and what the future holds for entrepreneurship education in the age of AI. Episode Guide:00:00 Introduction to Professor Yael Hochberg00:37 Her “Accidental” Entrepreneurship Origins05:50 Why She Chose Rice & Her Vision for Better Entrepreneurship Education09:18 Inside the Liu Idea Lab16:22 Student Startup Wins19:53 Alumni Network Power22:59 Research-Driven Teaching 30:32 AI and Entrepreneurship35:02 What's Next for Lilie41:47 The Most Rewarding MomentsThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:On the entrepreneurial spirit at Rice39:31: [Brian Jackson] When I think about the entrepreneurial spirit that's present at Rice, I think a big driver pulling that in is the recognition we consistently get, be it Princeton Review ranking us as a, you know, the nation's top graduate school for entrepreneurship seven years in a row. When you think about that success, what do you think is the biggest driver behind it? What's making that possible?39:54: [Yael Hochberg] I think it's a combination of many things. It's our students, our amazing students who come in with the drive to create things. It's our alumni who are willing to stand behind us and support us. It's people like Frank Liu who were willing to see the resources that were necessary here on campus to, to truly support entrepreneurial ventures. It's the amazing staff and faculty at Lilie who, you know, give 90 to a hundred-hour weeks, 365 days a year to make sure that our students have the support that they need, that our faculty have the support that they need.Entrepreneurship can be taught if there's a drive04:43: People always ask me, what do you mean you can teach entrepreneurship? Why do you guys even bother with entrepreneurship programs? People are either born as entrepreneurs or they're not. They either have that entrepreneurial drive or they don't. I think there's something to that, and that it is true that I can't take someone without the drive and turn them into an entrepreneur. But I can take someone who has that latent drive and who is interested, and I can give them tools and frameworks that will help them be successful if they pursue entrepreneurship. I happen to be one of these people who has that drive. I like to build, I don't like sitting still. When I see problems, I don't like to simply say, “Hmm, that's really annoying.” I try to solve them.AI is changing how fast you can build and test ideas31:02: The tools that are available today really do change how you think about things, because the tools offer you an opportunity to build things faster than you could ever imagined before, to test things faster than you could ever imagined before. We have classes where nearly all of our classes are experiential. The students are actually building something. They're doing something, they're walking through the process, and they're getting it in the wraps, right? And it may be on something stupid like Uber for cats, I don't care. I want them to learn the process and actually go out and experience it. And when the right idea comes along, they'll already know how to actually do it.Show Links: The Liu Idea Lab for Innovation and EntrepreneurshipTranscriptGuest Profile:Yael Hochberg | Rice BusinessYael Hochberg's WebsiteYael Hochberg on LinkedIn
