Podcast appearances and mentions of lindsey mead

Episode Fifty-One is here, and sadly, you know what that means...it's the last film review episode of Completely Unqualified with Lindsey Mead and Randi DeShone. We are going to miss talking about movies with you all every Wednesday. It's so bittersweet to be releasing this to our friends, family, and fans today, but we are SO grateful to EVERYONE that has tuned in to this makeshift podcast over the course of the year. We appreciate you, we love you, and we THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. So, for the Completely UNQ film review finale and last movie in the Harry Potter saga, we discussed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 (2011) on Episode Fifty-One. The episode title, as always, will make sense once you listen! Plenty of our usual laughs, fun facts, and HP simping happens throughout our final show. Next week, our *final* final episode will be published, marking a year (one day early) of Completely Unqualified, as well as its official conclusion. If you're a sponsor, please be sure to cancel your sponsorship so we don't keep charging you as our episodes remain available on streaming services, but without us putting out any new content. On Episode Fifty-Two we discuss necessary podcast-related and life-related updates, give our thanks, and conclude our comedic film review podcast in typical Randi and Lindsey fashion. You won't want to miss it. xoxo.

Welcome to the first post-reunion episode of the HBS Class of 2000 series. People have enjoyed it so much that we are continuing the series indefinitely. Since each HBS class has approximately 880 students, I figure we can keep going for another two decades! This week's guest is Dr. Nik Korgaonkar. Lindsey Mead and I talk with Nik about why he interrupted medical school to go to HBS, and how the lessons he learned in business school are helpful to him. Right before we recorded the episode, Dr. Nik operated on a lung cancer patient; what was once a death sentence is now an 80-90% chance at a cure. As usual, we spend a lot of time discussing favorite books, and Dr. Nik recommends The Power of One.

Lindsey Mead and I chat with Debbie Hochberg, who has been a loyal listener to this podcast series. We discuss a fascinating "Sliding Doors" moment in her life, and how 9/11 changed the course of her career, encouraging her to focus on her passion for non-profits.

For our virtual 20th reunion, Lindsey Mead and I moderated a special class panel discussion featuring Stephan Bancel, the CEO of Moderna (likely to be the first company to market with a Covid-19 vaccine), Shari Hubert, the Associate Dean of Admissions at The Fuqua School of Business at Duke University, and Christa Quarles, former CEO of OpenTable, and board member of Kimberley-Clark. This session discussed memories of HBS, the Covid-19 pandemic and its effects on education, the restaurant industry, and the broader economy, and the murder of George Floyd, the protests in his name, and the Black Lives Matter movement. https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephan-bancel-8185251/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharihubert/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/christaquarles/

Lindsey Mead joins me to interview our classmate Anthony Marino. We discuss how Lindsey and Anthony knew each other at Princeton, what it was like growing up in a big, traditional Italian family in New Jersey (hint: a Cadillac full of cantaloupes was involved), and recall some memorable moments from Anthony's time at HBS. We also convince Lindsey to stop donating her old clothes to Goodwill, and start selling them through ThredUp! https://www.linkedin.com/in/anmarino/ https://www.thredup.com/

Frantz Alphonse, fresh off the birth of his second child this week, stops by to chat with Lindsey Mead and I about his post-HBS life, how he changed his diet and lifestyle for the better, and how a single chance remark changed the trajectory of his career.

Lindsey Mead and I are joined by our classmate and my old friend, Kwame Jackson. We discuss Kwame's unique career path (from Goldman Sachs to The Apprentice to entrepreneur and TV news stalwart) as well as how he and the rest of us deal with shocks like the Dot Com bust, 9/11, and the current Covid-19 pandemic. We also reminisce about our HBS days, and the time that Kwame was the headliner for a political fundraiser for an obscure Illinois State Senator named Barack Obama.

In this episode, Lindsey Mead and I interview our classmate John F. Carrier, who now teaches at MIT's Sloan School of Management. As befitting a business school instructor, John shares his knowledge and erudition (including some very interesting book and article picks). Fun fact: He actually remembers 26 of the cases we learned in TOM (Technology Operations Management) our first year. Honestly, I couldn't even remember one! It's a good thing he's the one fixing factory floors and not me. You can find John's blog here: https://jfcarrie.mit.edu/blog In particular, he will be leading a webinar on Using Digital Technology to Rapidly Recover from Operational Interruptions on April 30, so register now!

Lindsey Mead and I interview our classmate Gadi Slade (whom I also knew when he was an undergraduate at Stanford) about his experiences at HBS and how his life has gone over the past 20 years. You'll learn the key roles that Frank Sinatra, Simon and Garfunkel, and Mt. Everest played in his life, and get his advice about how to manage the coronavirus crisis. https://www.linkedin.com/in/gadi-slade-03048660/

My friend and HBS classmate Lindsey Mead and I preview our upcoming series of interviews with our business school classmates. Since our in-person reunion has been cancelled (current plans are to replace it with a "blackjack" reunion in 2021), we're filling the gap with a series of interviews to allow our classmates to catch up on what their old friends have been up to. In this introductory double episode, Lindsey and I interview each other, previewing the set of questions we'll be asking our classmates.

Lindsey Mead is a woman, a daughter, a mother, a sister, a wife, a friend, and a writer. She is also a runner, a sometime yogi, and a disillusioned MBA. She has a blog called “A Design So Vast” where she tries to find a coherent sense of self in all of these splintered identities. More recently, she is the editor of the book “On Being 40ish,” which came out earlier this year. It is a compilation of personal stories about midlife by some of the very best writers. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you will want to get your hands on a copy. Lindsey and I talk about how her childhood formed the life she’s made for herself, her friendships, and how she feels about time.

My guest today is rocking her voice. Motrya Hanas Calafiura is the Special Assistant to the Provost at Georgetown University. She is also a wife, a mother to a 2-year-old son, and an all-around hustler.  Motrya serves on the Board of Directors and is the Assistant Treasurer of the non-profit, Georgetown Village.  She lives in Washington, DC.   Motrya and I talk about how she created a life she loves after a difficult childhood, about having an infant in your 40s when you have a demanding career, and also how much work it takes to bring good things to your life – including strong relationships.   Enter to win a copy of “On Being 40ish” by May 15th at midnight.

On the show today is Erin Prather Stafford who is acutely aware that fixing gender imbalances in the media is key to changing gender disparity everywhere. Erin recently launched Girls That Create, which provides information and resources for developing creative thinking, boosting confidence, and growing skill sets. She is also the Executive Producer of WONDER WOMEN! The Untold Story of American Superheroines. Erin lives in Dallas, Texas with her husband and two young girls.   Erin and I talked about how all of us can - and should be - creators, how women do support one another, and how the role of women in the media has shifted - ever so slightly. She references some stuff from the 80s too - so I think you’ll get a kick out of that. Listen for details on how to win a copy of the book “On Being 40-ish.” This fantastic compilation was edited by Lindsey Mead who has graciously donated a copy. Contest ends May 15.
