You asked...we answered!In this first-ever “Ask Us Anything” episode, producer Melissa Martin flips the script and poses your biggest questions to host Matt Kirchner. The result is a candid, wide-ranging conversation that covers career decisions, workforce challenges, and the future of artificial intelligence.From elementary classrooms to C-suite hiring struggles to the role of AI in disrupting education, this episode explores the most pressing questions in STEM and technical education today. Matt and Melissa share real-world stories, practical advice, and unfiltered takes that every educator, employer, and student will find valuable.Listen to learn:Why career interests start forming as early as elementary school, and what kind of exposure matters mostHow young people can sort through post-secondary options without feeling trapped by a single choiceThe interview strategies that stand out to CEOs after thousands of candidate meetingsWhat manufacturers are getting right (and wrong) in the race to attract new talentHow AI is reshaping education, and why human relationships matter more than ever in the age of disruption3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Early exposure changes student trajectories. Students begin shaping career perceptions as early as elementary school; use age-appropriate experiences to put advanced manufacturing and STEM on the radar. Matt traces his own path back to a fifth-grade plant tour - watching a vibratory deburring bowl - showing how simple, vivid experiences stick for years. 2. Talent pipelines are a long game. Employers that show up consistently, serve on advisory boards, visit classes often, bring students on site, even offer “pizza Tuesdays”, win attention and hires. Culture and first impressions matter on tours: clean, organized facilities and engaged employees signal a place students want to join, now and later. 3. AI elevates personalization and demands new pedagogy. Shift essay-style tasks toward live, in-class dialogue and reflection to reduce easy generative-AI shortcuts and increase real learning. Use data-informed, asynchronous pathways so learners who need time can take it, and those ready to advance aren't held back.Submit your own question for a future edition of Ask Us Anything on our website! https://techedpodcast.com/askusanything/We want to hear from you!

In a world increasingly dominated by software and automation, how vital are human relationships in banking and finance? In this episode, CJ sits down with Meghan McKenna, founder of Females in Finance (FIF) and a seasoned banker with experience at JPMorgan, HSBC, and Stifel, to explore how trusted connections continue to drive success.

Police Shooting Myths Shattered: From His Own Story. Special Episode. When it comes to policing in America, myths often dominate the public conversation. Many believe law enforcement officers are “trigger happy,” quick to fire their weapons at the first sign of danger. Others assume that trauma only takes its toll after decades in uniform. But as former Roswell, Georgia police officer John Saporsky explains, both assumptions couldn't be further from the truth. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In a candid conversation shared on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and streaming on Apple and Spotify, Saporsky speaks openly about the Police Shooting Myths Shattered, From His Own Story. His journey highlights the danger, recovery, career, and experience that shaped his life both in and beyond law enforcement. He is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. Early Career and Trauma in Georgia “People think trauma comes late in a career, but mine started early,” Saporsky says. As a young officer with the Roswell Police Department in Georgia, he faced situations that most officers never experience in their entire careers. From a near-death experience in a traffic accident involving a stolen police car to brake failure in a high-speed pursuit, Saporsky's early days in uniform were filled with life-threatening moments. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . He recalls a terrifying incident with brake fade, a dangerous reduction in braking ability caused by overheating. “When the brakes failed, it could have been fatal. Those are the moments the public never sees,” he explains. Police Shooting Myths Shattered: From His Own Story. Special Episode. And then there were the shootings. Saporsky was directly involved in critical incidents that tested his judgment and courage. Research from the National Police Foundation underscores just how rare such experiences are. In a study of 1,006 police shootings across 47 departments, four out of five officers had never fired their weapons in the line of duty before. Saporsky's encounters placed him in the small percentage who had. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Shattering Police Shooting Myths Saporsky emphasizes that officers are not eager to use deadly force. “Most of us hope we'll never have to fire our weapon,” he says. “When it does happen, it changes you forever.” By sharing his story, he aims to dismantle the stereotype that police officers are reckless or insensitive in dangerous situations. Instead, he highlights the human side of danger and recovery—the side the public rarely hears about in the evening news or viral social media debates. Life After Policing After years of service, Saporsky decided to transition out of law enforcement. But stepping away from the badge wasn't simple. “Leaving the profession can feel like losing your identity,” he reflects. Police Shooting Myths Shattered: From His Own Story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. That personal struggle led him to create Law Enforcement Connect LLC in 2021, a platform designed to help officers transition into civilian life and new careers. “Like military veterans, law enforcement professionals face unique challenges. They need guidance, resources, and a community that understands,” Saporsky says. Through interviews with veterans, business leaders, psychologists, and researchers, Saporsky developed a framework for career transition that goes beyond simple job searches. His mission is to coach, mentor, and connect officers who are moving from service to civilian life. Roswell Police Department's Legacy Saporsky credits much of his professional foundation to his time with the Roswell Police Department, which is known for its focus on community policing and public safety. With a population of nearly 93,000, Roswell is one of Georgia's safest cities and continues to embrace the principles of 21st Century Policing and Procedural Justice. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. “The men and women I served with were dedicated, professional, and deeply committed to the community,” Saporsky notes. “I'll always carry those lessons with me.” Police Shooting Myths Shattered: From His Own Story. From Trauma to Purpose Today, Saporsky uses his platform to speak openly about his experiences and to encourage others to do the same. His story resonates across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and beyond. “Police officers don't just need to survive the dangers of the job,” he says. “They need to thrive after it. That's why I share my story, because myths need to be shattered, and real stories need to be heard.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms.

After many successful years as a mechanical engineer for Baker Hughes, Sujeev Chittipolu '21 thought it was time to invest in his leadership potential. That led him to Rice Business.   As part of Rice's Professional MBA program, Sujeev formed invaluable connections through programs like CoachRICE and even joined the board of one of his classmate's nonprofits — Amel Association Houston. Through Amel, Sujeev is taking what he learned at Rice Business and building leadership coaching programs for underserved youth in Houston, particularly in refugee communities. In this episode, Sujeev chats with co-host Maya Pomroy '22 about his 16 years at Baker Hughes, how growing up in an entrepreneurial family shaped him, his work with Amel to give back to the community, and how the Rice MBA helped him put the final pieces together in his career. Episode Guide:01:30 Early Career and Education02:14 Journey at Baker Hughes05:37 Pursuing an MBA at Rice09:51 Giving Back Through AMEL15:19 Balancing Career and Personal Life16:00 Advice for Aspiring MBA Students16:43 Impact of Rice MBA on Career22:23 Staying Connected with Rice24:53 Future Aspirations and Final ThoughtsOwl Have You Know is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:How coaching transforms a student's confidence and future12:36: I would say one student named Musafa. He was initially not a student. He was active doing his things, but he was not very verbal in the class, right? [13:41] So as he worked with a coach, what we've seen was he could explore his inhibitions, he could set his goals, understand what were some of the drivers that were inhibiting his potential. And we've seen a clear change. He was about to quit high school. Yes, and working with the coach, it changed. He was over the process of a year, right? Two semesters, he became more verbal. He was confident in himself. He could understand what he wanted in life. He could realize, okay, I have a goal in career, and then okay, I can work towards it. So I think that one story kind of inspired more of us to come back and give. And it's just like we've seen many of those, Maya, over the last three-plus years working with HISD.Shaping mindset and leadership through the Rice MBA16:19: [Maya]: So thinking back on before Rice and after Rice, what were some of the ways that your mindset has really changed because of the MBA that you worked for?16:32: [Sujeev Chittipolu]: So many ways. I think the way I look at problems and the way I look at challenges is very different now. I'm kind of more holistic in approach. I challenge myself much more based on the lessons I've learned during Rice, and even the leadership piece, right? Leadership not just at work, but I think leadership goes all the way — starts from home, through the community, at work. So you set an example for yourself. You set an example for your family members, so you're learning always, trying to grow. So I think Rice has influenced me personally, professionally, and I think I keep continuing to reap rewards as I grow personally as well as professionally.On the hard work of growth and the rewards of giving back15:38: There is no easy way or there's no shotguns in growth or in career. You have to differentiate yourself. You have to work hard to one, grow yourself and be able to give back. I think both of these. If you are passionate, if you want to grow, it's not easy, but the journey might be tough, but the efforts are always rewarding, right? Giving back, you can see one story that is shared. It changes your perspective on life. It gives you things that show how grateful you are to be able to give back. So, take the leap forward. I think you always find time. There are weekends that you can stretch. There are days you know you need like one or two hours a day that you can stretch and always be able to give back. So yeah, I think take the leap forward, and it will be worthwhile.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profiles:Sujeev Chittipolu | LinkedInBoard Profile | AMEL Association Houston

The word AI gets bandied about by everyone in everything today, and I've been wanting to unpack the opportunities and challenges our future world holds for us. So I'm delighted to welcome technology ethicist Dr. Mona Hamdy to the show this week. On Part 1 of our conversation this week, we talk about her pivots, and how she found herself at this unique intersection of technology and human dignity. Coming up next week on Part 2, I pick Mona's brain on some of my questions on the future world of AI: have we unleashed something we don't really understand? How does the emerging world prioritise its technology adoption?
