USMNT GK Alumni Jon Busch & Former MLS GK Eric Klenofsky: The State of the Goalkeeper Union In America We are halfway through the USMNT's 4-game international break. With our arch-rivals Mexico on the horizon, former USMNT GK Jon Busch and Former MLS GK Eric Klenofsky join the panel to break down the 4 goalkeepers in this camp's pool. First, we discuss the intense experiences of heading into a national team camp, how to earn respect from veterans, and how to showcase that you belong at the elite level. Then we breakdown Chris Brady's performance in the recent match against Chile, including a deep tactical analysis of the goal allowed on a botched box-out during a corner kick sequence. Then we speak big picture on the state of the goalkeeping union in the United States. Are we working together, or are we operating on isolated islands? What can the USSF do to assist youth club coaches? We also debate what you truly learn at coaching courses after hours versus the actual official sessions. Michael then shares an authentic story of dealing with 34 goalkeepers at one time and how he solved the problem. We wrap up the pod with our hopes for 2027 resources to assist young goalkeeper coaches. At The Union GK, we know goalkeeping is simply the vehicle; elite life skills, drive, and personal resilience are the definitive result.

In this very special and extended episode, I sit down with my friend, John Davison, who is a graduate of the Bethel Supernatural School of Ministry, to discuss our experiences in hyper-charismatic culture. We talk about what drew us in and the moments that slowly woke us up and led us out. Our goal here is not another angry exposé. We want listeners who still have family or friends inside these circles to engage with compassion, language, and a posture that actually helps people rather than driving them deeper into defensiveness. If you were there, if you loved it, or if you love someone who is still there, this is for you.

Stephen Cassell, principal at Architecture Research Office and lead architect of Asha and Farid Virani Hall, joins Maya Pomroy '22 for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Rice Business' incredible new 112,000-square-foot home.Stephen shares the decisions, constraints and unexpected opportunities that shaped Virani Hall — from protecting the artistic vision behind James Turrell's “Twilight Epiphany” Skyspace to reinterpreting McNair Hall's distinctive brickwork and creating spaces designed to bring undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and the wider Rice community together. In this conversation, Stephen talks about designing spaces that encourage people to linger, connect and cross paths — from sculptural staircases and gathering spaces to Audrey's and the West Quad. He also talks about designing for a future no one can fully predict, building flexibility into classrooms and gathering spaces that will evolve with the school's needs.The result is a building that looks forward without losing sight of where Rice came from. Stephen also reflects on what it means to see students finally inhabit a place that, for four years, existed largely as an idea. More About Asha and Farid Virani HallLocated next to McNair Hall, Asha and Farid Virani Hall offers an additional 112,000 square feet for graduate and undergraduate business education at Rice Business. Skanska, one of the world's largest project development and construction companies, and Sugar Land-based B. Bell Builders broke ground on the building in May 2024. Architecture Research Office led the design, with Houston-based Kirksey Architecture serving as executive architect. The facility was completed in 2026 and named in recognition of the generosity from Asha Virani '89 and Farid Virani, Houston community and business leaders who helped establish the Virani Undergraduate School of Business in 2024. This impressive structure was built to accommodate the evolving needs of our community and our unprecedented growth — and features state-of-the-art classrooms, modern office spaces and vibrant amenities such as dining areas, open gathering spaces and facilities for private events.Virani Hall was made possible by the generosity of many.

And that basic idea for the building is they nest against each other, but they pull apart a little bit. And then where they pull apart, that's where those triple-height spaces are. And that was the opportunity. It was like, oh, we can use the character of the existing building to really shape those spaces and have the modern and the new architecture on the inside in dialogue with the old. And in some ways that's a metaphor of really also talking about how the building speaks to the future of Rice Business, but really does tie in to the, sort of, amazing past of Rice, right? And all this, learned knowledge that comes with the university.Turning limitations into innovations12:43: Sometimes that narrow band of materials that we have is, like, it could seem limiting, but it actually allows for invention and experimentation. How do you do something that feels new, because there was real discussion that the building should really speak to the future of Rice Business but connects to the historic campus? And if you look carefully at the brickwork on the outside, in addition to using the bricks... This is me nerding out a little bit for architecture, the joints between the bricks are very thick. They're almost an inch, which is very unusual. You don't see that anywhere else, except Rice. And so it gives a very distinct coloration and feel and warmth to the brickwork at, all of the buildings on campus.On designing spaces that brings people together08:23: One of the things that was really missing is the informal spaces of interaction of different scales, and that's really important for the life of a school and really important for a business school. Because people make connections. It might just be two people sitting informally having a conversation, or running into a professor, or sort of larger events, and the school needed to support that. It was really missing that space. So, we did some analysis, like, "Listen, you need these classrooms, and you need these offices and things, but I think you really need a lot more of the, sort of, informal gathering spaces of different scales that support the life of the school and support the interaction between the business community that comes in and all these different events that Rice Business has to engage with your students."Show Links: Asha and Farid Virani Hall | Rice BusinessRice University Jones School of Business | ARO

In this episode, Kemi shares the story of receiving a $6 million research grant and being asked by her corporate-based friends whether it came with a raise - only to explain that academic medicine does NOT work that way! We've gotten so used to this – that our work quality is divorced from our earnings – that we forget it doesn't have to be this way.  Kemi pushes back on the idea that wanting to make money outside your paycheck is greedy, selfish, or somehow less pure.  Join in as Kemi talks about how to think seriously about how our work can support both our mission and our lives. Order Dr. Kemi's Book: A Terrible Strength: The Hidden Crisis of the Black Womb and Your Survival Guide to Healing    P.S. If you're a current or past KD Coach client, we have something special for you in 2027.  This is a moment to think differently about what it means to liberate ourselves — from our institutions being our only source of opportunity, from our paychecks being our only source of income, and from the idea that there's only one way to build a meaningful career.  If you're ready for more agency over what comes next, I want you with us. Current clients, check your inbox.  Alumni, keep an eye out — your invitation is coming soon. And if you've never worked with us but want to, join the waitlist. Text Dr. Kemi directly.

Join us for inside a JMO career conference with three alumni from the August 2026 Cameron-Brooks Career Conference, hosted by Cameron-Brooks career coaches Brock Dudley and Geoff Fries. Peter Carver and Jonathan Guilbe are both headed to Flowserve, in the nuclear engineering valves division in Raleigh. Bryan Bornn is going to Pacifico Energy in Dallas, building power infrastructure for data centers. What does a Career Conference actually look like? The August 2026 numbers: 47 companies 34 candidates 409 interviews across two days About 12 interviews per candidate 29 Cameron-Brooks alumni came back as hiring managersAlmost half of the companies in the room had a Cameron-Brooks alum conducting screening interviews. Why is that meaningful? We're fortunate to partner with so many Cameron-Brooks alumni who have gone on to become hiring managers. And many of them, along with their companies, come back to hire more JMOs from the Cameron-Brooks program. Why do they come back? A big part of it comes down to the success of these placements. Great JMOs. Great companies. Proven track records of success and career advancement. Simply put, companies see firsthand how strong Cameron-Brooks alumni are as leaders, and they want to hire more people like them. That's part of what makes Cameron-Brooks so special. It's not just a network. It's a community of people who continue to support each other, hire each other, and help the next group of JMOs succeed. What helped them prepare? All three landed on the same short list. The interview prep worksheet. Peter called it the highest-value tool he used. It forces you to pull the competencies out of a job description before you walk in. Reps with other people. John attended nearly every optional session and met with his study group around them. Practicing with a real role in mind. Bryan had his regular answers down. He hadn’t practiced them with an actual job description in mind until the conference got close. What surprised them? The interviews were more conversational than expected. Bryan said practice felt rigid by comparison, and the real thing flowed better. Location mattered less than they thought it would. John ranked Texas low on his list. He is moving to Dallas. Peter nearly took a role in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, a place he had not heard of before the conference. Their advice was consistent. Focus on the role and the company first. Let location and compensation enter the decision once you have offers in hand. If you’d like to learn more from other recent alums about their experience, you can listen to the following alumni roundtables: June 2026 Career Conference April 2026 Career Conference February 2026 Career Conference November 2025 Career Conference August 2025 Career Conference  At Cameron-Brooks, we help junior military officers transition from the military into business careers. If you are thinking about finding a job after the military, we would like to talk. If you have any questions, we’re happy to help. For those of you in our program, we know how daunting the process up the career conference can be. We are here for you and we’ve got your back. In the meantime, practice in your study groups, stay active in discord, and attend your interview workshops. And if you’re new to Cameron-Brooks and are looking to explore your transition to the business world, we’re happy to talk. Follow Cameron-Brooks on LinkedIn.

This is a painful story...

KI ist Chefsache: Warum Entscheidungsvakuum KI-Projekte killt   Kein Geschäftsführer vor Ort – und die gesamte KI-Initiative steht still. TJ zeigt anhand eines konkreten Praxisbeispiels, warum KI-Projekte ohne Rückendeckung von ganz oben scheitern. Wer als Berater nachhaltige Aufträge gewinnen will, kommt am CEO nicht vorbei.   Der Discovery-Call: Die einzige Phase, die nie wegfällt Ob du ein KI-Projekt operativ, taktisch oder strategisch angehst – eine Phase bleibt immer: das erste qualifizierende Gespräch. TJ nennt es Discovery-Call, Qualifizierungsgespräch, Anbahnungsgespräch oder Anamnese, je nach Kontext. Der Name spielt keine Rolle. Entscheidend ist, dass diese Phase niemals übersprungen wird. Hier entsteht entweder der Rahmen für ein größeres Projektvorhaben, oder sie ist selbst der erste bezahlte Schritt – etwa als Sensibilisierungsworkshop – bevor ein umfangreicheres Auftragsgewerk folgt. Wer diesen Einstieg strukturiert nutzt, legt das Fundament für alles, was danach kommt.   Operativer Einstieg, strategischer Sog – warum beides zusammengehört Viele Unternehmen wollen zunächst klein anfangen: ein einzelner Anwendungsfall, eine Prozessanalyse, eine Bestandsaufnahme des Kundenerlebnisses. Die bestehende Strategie bleibt unangetastet. Das ist legitim – und oft der einfachere Einstieg. Doch TJ beobachtet einen klaren Mechanismus: Sobald auf der operativen Ebene erste Ergebnisse entstehen, wächst der Druck, die Unternehmensstrategie ebenfalls anzufassen. Ein Fünf-Jahres-Plan, der vor ChatGPT und Co. entworfen wurde, ist unter den aktuellen KI-Rahmenbedingungen häufig nicht mehr tragbar. Ob dieser Impuls von unten kommt – aus einer erfolgreichen Marketingabteilung – oder von oben, ist letztlich egal. Er kommt.   KI ist Chefsache – die Kernbotschaft, die zählt TJ formuliert es klar: KI ist Chefsache. Diese Botschaft trägt er als Kernaussage in seine Keynote und als Titel seines Springer-Buches *„Chefsache KI-Strategie"*, das am 19. November erscheint. Die Datenlage aus seiner eigenen Berater-Community bestätigt das. Nahezu alle erfolgreichen KI-Beratungsaufträge der Alumni des Koerting Institute laufen über den Geschäftsführer oder CEO – nicht über Abteilungsleiter, nicht über IT-Heads, nicht über operative Führungskräfte. Wer als KI-Strategieberater auf Abteilungsebene einsteigt und hofft, sich nach oben zu arbeiten, verliert wertvolle Zeit und riskiert, dass das Projekt im ersten Sturm aufgegeben wird.   Praxisbeispiel: Wenn der GF fehlt, steht der Laden still Ein konkretes Beispiel macht die Konsequenz greifbar. Robert Sonnenberger, Alumnus einer früheren Kohorte, erlebte genau dieses Szenario: Der Geschäftsführer seines Kunden wurde abgelöst. Der Interim Manager überbrückte drei Monate. Der neue, bereits kontrahierte Geschäftsführer war noch nicht vor Ort. Ergebnis: Die gesamte KI-Initiative stand still. Nicht wegen fehlendem Budget, nicht wegen schlechter Umsetzung – sondern weil der einzig verlässliche Anker fehlte. Kein Entscheider, kein Fortschritt. Dieses Beispiel illustriert, warum die Abhängigkeit vom CEO kein strukturelles Risiko ist, sondern schlicht die Realität in KI-Transformationsprojekten.   Fazit: Wer KI-Projekte wirklich voranbringen will, geht direkt zur Spitze Die Folge liefert eine klare Handlungsempfehlung: Als KI-Berater immer den Einstieg über den CEO suchen – nicht als taktisches Manöver, sondern weil es strukturell der einzige stabile Ankerpunkt ist. Der Discovery-Call ist dabei das universelle Werkzeug, das unabhängig vom Einstiegspunkt immer funktioniert. Und wer operativ startet, sollte von Anfang an wissen: Die strategische Ebene kommt. Besser, man ist darauf vorbereitet, als dass sie das Projekt überrollt.   Das nimmst du mit: • Ohne einen Entscheider an der Spitze sterben KI-Projekte – egal wie gut die operative Umsetzung läuft. • Nahezu alle erfolgreichen KI-Beratungsaufträge laufen über den Geschäftsführer, nicht über Abteilungsleiter. • Der Discovery-Call ist die eine Phase, die immer stattfindet – unabhängig vom Einstiegspunkt im Projekt. • Wer operativ startet, kommt früher oder später an die Unternehmensstrategie – das sollte von Anfang an eingeplant sein. • Ein Fünf-Jahres-Plan ist unter aktuellen KI-Rahmenbedingungen oft nicht mehr haltbar – das gehört auf den Tisch, sobald strategische Fragen auftauchen. • Fehlt der Geschäftsführer als Anker, steht die gesamte KI-Initiative still – das Praxisbeispiel zeigt, wie schnell das passiert. Kapitel: 00:00 Einstieg: Phasen im KI-Beratungsprozess — linear oder nicht? 00:09 Der Discovery-Call: Die eine Phase, die immer stattfindet 01:27 Operative vs. strategische Ebene: Wo KI-Projekte wirklich starten 02:53 KI ist Chefsache — die Kernbotschaft 03:18 Praxisbeispiel: Wenn der GF fehlt, steht der Laden KI-seitig still     Noch mehr von den Koertings ...

Relationships are so amorphous - and so complex. You can't hold them in your palms, yet they can crumble in front of your very eyes.   I have no idea about the statistics or the studies, but all around me I see dead ties that persist. And I'm glad they do.   In a world where we demand perfect relationships and expect them to become shiny almost overnight, there is something worth remembering: relationships take time to find their richness, become their best - or, at their worst, become bearable.   I think most couples will agree that once the honeymoon is over, the toughest years are often the early ones. That's when they discover that sharing space is vastly different from sharing love.   She wants a harder bed; he wants the room chilled to 18 degrees at night. She wants an “I love you” before breakfast and twice after dinner. He thinks a thought, a hug or a phone call is quite enough. She loves elaborate gifts because she loves giving them. He couldn't care less and is happiest writing her a personal poem - which, naturally, leaves her dissatisfied.   The trouble begins when these differences stop being differences and become permanent battle lines.   Some things have difficult solutions, of course. But when both people keep digging in their heels, they are simply creating a frontline. And then another dynamic kicks in: one starts feeling that they are always the one giving in. Isn't that unfair?   So the heels go deeper. More arms are added to the frontline.   And then the inevitable happens. One person begins to feel that they are always giving more. The uncomfortable truth is that, in most relationships, there will be an imbalance of sorts. One person will take more decisions; another will be more involved in the home; one may handle more of the finances. And there will inevitably be moments when one person has to take the majority of the important family decisions. Like it or lump it, that's often the nature of relationships - working or personal.   The unfairness begins when you start keeping score. When the relationship becomes a place to prove who gives more, who sacrifices more, or who is the boss.   It rarely ends well.   Counsellors would grow hungry if all of this were revealed early enough in a session. Because when all a person can see are the bad things in a relationship, they become completely blind to what drew them to each other in the first place.   And once that happens, the road to perdition is already well laid.   If you liked this poem, consider listening to these other poems on broken hearts -  A Primer on How to Deal With (Being) Hurt When You Lose the Lover but Not the Love I Walk Alone (wishing you were beside me) Subscribe to my newsletter 'The Uncuts' Follow me on Instagram at @sunilgivesup.

Send us Fan MailWhat can a fire investigator learn from the remains of a burned smart outlet? In this short episode, Chasity and Scott speak with Eastern Kentucky University students Madison Hall and Elias Phipps at the 2026 IAAI International Training Conference in St. Louis. They discuss their research on identifying Wi-Fi-enabled smart outlets after a fire and distinguishing their components from those of standard AC adapters.Madison and Elias burned and disassembled devices, then documented the surviving components with photographs and X-rays. In their experiments, relays and Wi-Fi chips remained recognizable even after substantial heat exposure. They explain how those components could help an investigator identify a smart outlet in a fire scene and decide what additional evidence to examine.The conversation also explores why identification matters: a smart outlet can remotely supply power to a device that has already been left switched on. The students discuss a case from Sweden involving a remotely activated soldering iron, along with the potential value and challenges of obtaining device activity records. Their work offers a starting point for recognizing emerging technology in fire investigations and points to further research on the data these devices may retain.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

10 years after the Brexit referendum, was Britain's departure from the European Union inevitable or did it depend on a series of political choices?Mark Quinn speaks with Dr Roch Dunin-Wąsowicz and Max Josef Migden about their research comparing Britain's experience with the prospect of Poland leaving the EU. They introduce a framework exploring how national structures, political narratives and the actions of influential politicians can combine to make "Polexit" possible.Why would a largely pro-European population continue to elect Eurosceptic leaders? Could Poland leave without holding a referendum?We also hear how the EU has changed since Brexit and why populist politicians may now be more interested in reshaping it than leaving it.Full show notes and links: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/news/2026/sep/how-other-countries-could-leave-eu-research-real-worldMore Research for the Real World: https://uclioe.info/rftrwMore IOE Insights podcasts: https://uclioe.info/podcastUCL Institute of Education: https://ucl.ac.uk/ioePhoto: FotoDax / Adobe Stock

With over 15 years of experience at Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, Stuart Bell '23 is leaving his mark on the sustainability world through his mission-driven and service-oriented mindset – a mindset that, he says, Rice Business helped him unlock. Beginning as a process engineer, Stuart has held a multitude of positions across the Chevron Phillips ecosystem and is now the senior manager of sustainability. Stuart joins co-host Maya Pomroy ‘22 to discuss why, a decade into his career, he decided to enroll in an MBA program and how Rice Business has helped shape the way he leads and sees the world.  They also chat about his experience participating in Rice Board Fellows, why he started a wine club for Rice Business alumni, and his ultimate “ROI” from his time at Rice: a fiancee! Episode Guide:00:00 Meet Stuart Bell01:32 Roots in Sports and Academia03:45 Choosing Chemical Engineering06:01 Chevron Phillips Career Journey08:47 The MBA Spark Moment10:47 Why Rice Business13:33 Board Fellows and Giving Back17:13 Wine Club and Houston Favorites19:40 MBA ROI and Career Pivots23:37 Sustainability and Leadership Lessons29:43 Advice to Future OwlsThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:How Rice shaped Stuart's sustainability path22:14: I'm a very mission-driven person. You know, the way you opened the dialogue around community really sticks with me, that we want to be service-oriented. And so, within our business, I saw sustainability as a way to merge so many of my passions, passions for the outdoors, passions for the communities that we serve, and leverage a lot of the both experience I'd had at CPChem, but also the lessons I'd learned while at Rice, and hopefully, help advance the organization and that mission. And so for me, I would say pivoting then again a second time out of the commercial space into the sustainability one, is a direct result of my time at Rice.On embracing the complexity of sustainability24:34: I think there was a change in the pace for sustainability these last two years. And, I think it's true. I think the world's learned that it's complicated, these are complex problems that involve a ton of different people and have a ton of different impacts. And so let's not run away from that truth. Let's engage it, because that's how we're actually going to advance. That's how we're going to make the next step in the narrative. That's how we're going to make the change that so many people think does. So, I think a lot of it is very healthy in that we're having to find out what really matters and make disciplined decisions. But, it's certainly facing more headwinds today than it was a handful of years ago.How Board Fellows turned service into action14:22: So Board Fellows is a program that Rice puts together that pairs MBA candidates with various nonprofit organizations around the city. For me, that was something that I was very interested in. Obviously, my father being in education, the nonprofit sector is very close and adjacent. This mindset of service back to the community and society, is something that was important to me and it was an itch I wanted to scratch. So Board Fellows gave me a very structured way to go about doing that. Show Links: The Strategic Career by Bill BarnettThinking, fast and slow by Daniel KahnemanTranscriptGuest Profile:Stuart Bell | Rice BusinessStuart Bell | LinkedIn

visit: https://www.ysguys.comDave McCann and Blaine Fowler open a celebratory Monday night after BYU's 28-17 Big 12-opening win over Arizona pushed the Cougars to No. 11 in the new AP Top 25 — a jump of several spots over teams that didn't even lose. Bear Bachmeier threw for three touchdowns (two to Kyler Kasper) and ran for another with zero turnovers, earning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honors, while defensive end Tausili Akana (2.5 sacks) was named the conference's Defensive Player of the Week. Dave and Blaine break down how BYU trailed 17-14 at the half before shutting Arizona out in the second half, review LJ Martin's 98-yard, 20-carry workload, and grade Blaine's preseason three keys to victory (turnover margin, limiting big plays, and controlling tempo) all as pluses. They also run through the rest of the Big 12 and national landscape — Oklahoma State's upset of Oregon, Michigan's win over Oklahoma, Texas A&M's rout of Arizona State, and Notre Dame's blowout of Rice ahead of its trip to Provo next month — before previewing Saturday's trip to Colorado State, BYU's first-ever primetime game on CBS and first visit to Fort Collins in 26 years.Kyler Kasper, whose two second-half touchdowns sealed the Arizona win, is named the Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week, with the hosts recapping his path from an injury-shortened Oregon career to a big night in his BYU debut season. Former BYU quarterback Brandon Doman joins the show to discuss Bear's rise (both went 14-2 in their first 16 starts), the value of LJ Martin as a running mate, BYU's climb to No. 11, and the schedule ahead, before counting down his top five favorite wins as a BYU starter in a Five Questions segment that closes with LaVell Edwards's final game as head coach. BYU alumni Craig and Melissa Seeger preview the Fort Collins trip, including the Cougs Care service project collecting books to fight illiteracy, and a Quick Quack Car Wash promo highlights a Santa Maria, California grand opening benefiting a cancer-surviving mother of six.Campus Notes cover a remarkable feat — every BYU fall sport remains ranked in the top 25 — plus basketball's addition of 7-foot-1 recruit Petar Ostojic and the NCAA's ruling that transfer big man Jakub Urbaniak is ineligible, women's basketball commit Pippa (Delaney's younger sister), a rough week for soccer, strong showings from both cross country teams, a five-set volleyball win over UCLA, and Friday night's BYU Athletic Hall of Fame class headlined by Kyle Van Noy, who flew in between Minnesota Vikings commitments. Two Hotel Park City/Ruth's Chris super fans round out the show: Sylvia Texidor of Wisconsin, a convert who's followed the Cougars since attending BYU in the 1970s, and Bill Winfield of Ventura, California, who lived through BYU's legendary Gifford Nielsen-Marc Wilson-Jim McMahon-Steve Young quarterback run and shares eyewitness stories from the 1980 Holiday Bowl and more. The show closes with a shout-out to the prior week's Arizona flyover pilot and a look ahead to next Monday's guests. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We explore how conservative Christian women have become influential organisers, campaigners and political actors in the United States. Drawing on a decade of ethnographic research and her new book Esther's Army, Dr Katie Gaddini challenges assumptions that women in right-wing movements are politically passive, instead revealing the diverse ways they organise, mobilise and influence political life.We hear how ideas around motherhood, protection and empowerment have become powerful political tools, and considers what these developments can tell us about the future of political mobilisation both in the US and beyond.The episode examines what these trends mean for policymakers, educators and anyone seeking to understand an increasingly polarised political landscape.Full show notes and links: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/news/2026/sep/women-reshaping-conservative-politics-america-research-real-world More Research for the Real World: https://uclioe.info/rftrwMore IOE Insights podcasts: https://uclioe.info/podcastUCL Institute of Education: https://ucl.ac.uk/ioePhoto: Gage Skidmore (CC BY-SA 4.0)

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.
