Could Artificial Intelligence make Hollywood a ghost town? Reality TV, strikes and cyborgs, OH MY! Hollywood may be heading toward AI-generated content, and we all may already be living in a cyborg state … so was this episode AI-generated? This is part two of a two-part episode. Be sure to go back and listen to Part 1: Will the Hollywood Strike be an Extended Thing?   Featured Guests David Luna, Ph.D. - UCF College of Business Robin Cowie - Phygital Experience Creator & Feature Filmmaker Cassandra "Cassi" Willard, J.D. - Instructor, Department of Management, UCF College of Business & Program Director, Blackstone LaunchPad at UCF Ray Eddy, Ph.D - Lecturer, Integrated Business, UCF College of Business   Episode Transcription Actor Bryan Cranston speaking at a SAG-AFTRA strike rally in Times Square in New York City on July 25, 2023: Uh, we've got a message for Mr. Iger. I know, sir, that you look through things through a different lens. We don't expect you to understand who we are, but we ask you to hear us, and beyond that, to listen to us when we tell you we will not be having our jobs taken away and given to robots. Paul Jarley: The real issue, Bryan, is whether the AI listens and understands us. This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, is this really a thing? Onto our show. In our last episode, we explored the current writers and actor's strikes and how the parties might come to some agreement to get everyone back to work and spare us a lot of new reality TV. A key part of that analysis involved the limitations of AI today. It can't produce a final product without humans. That, of course, is today. AI technology is changing rapidly and its impact on the industry is likely to grow over time. In today's episode, we look at the long-term implications of AI in Hollywood and ask, could AI depopulate the industry in 10 years? In other words, could it eliminate or substantially reduce the number of people working in Hollywood, especially the writers and actors. To shed light on these topics, I returned to the discussion I had with my group of UCF experts. To just remind everyone, Cassandra Willard is an instructor and program director in our Center for Entrepreneurship and a practicing attorney with extensive experience in entertainment law. Ray Eddy is a lecturer in our Integrated Business department with an interest in understanding the customer experience. Ray is not just an academic, he has worked as a stunt man, started his own production company and written, directed and starred in several performances. David Luna is a professor in our Marketing department. He is currently working on several projects, studying human machine interactions in the context of chatbots, intelligent assistance, and AI. And last but not least is Robin Cowie. Rob is a graduate of our Motion Picture Technology program at UCF. He's a little hard to summarize, having worked in a variety of positions in the industry from EA Sports, to Nickelodeon, to the Golf Channel, and the Dr. Phillips Center for Performing Arts. Today, he is the President and CTO at Promising People, a company that produces training and placement services for people who have been incarcerated. But, you probably know Rob best from his work as co-producer on "The Blair Witch Project." Listen in. David, if AI is going to depopulate Hollywood, it's going to have to produce movies that are more profitable than the ones being created today. What do you see as the main issues here? David Luna: There are different kinds of costs involved in making a movie, right? One of them would be the creative part, and from what has transpired from the conversations with the writer's union,

More reality TV? AI-generated “South Park” episodes? Is this where Hollywood is heading thanks to the latest writer and actor strike? We find out from UCF experts how, and why, the strike will be resolved and how AI will play into plans moving forward. This is part one of a two-part episode.   On July 14, 2023, members of the Hollywood actors' union, SAG-AFTRA, stood with screenwriters, forming a picket line outside Amazon Studios in Los Angeles, California. This marked the commencement of an actors' strike. SAG-AFTRA joined forces with the Writers Guild of America workers, who had been engaged in a determined strike against the Hollywood studios for three months. This joint walkout, a rare occurrence not witnessed since 1960, underscores the magnitude of the situation. The collaboration between SAG-AFTRA and WGA intensifies the impact of the strike, with the potential to bring Hollywood productions to a complete standstill.   Featured Guests David Luna, Ph.D. - UCF College of Business Robin Cowie - Phygital Experience Creator & Feature Filmmaker Cassandra "Cassi" Willard, J.D. - Instructor, Department of Management, UCF College of Business & Program Director, Blackstone LaunchPad at UCF Ray Eddy, Ph.D - Lecturer, Integrated Business, UCF College of Business   Episode Transcription SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher in a press conference July 13, 2023: The entire business model has been changed by streaming, digital, AI. This is a moment of history that is a moment of truth. If we don't stand tall right now, we are all going to be in trouble. We are all going to be in jeopardy of being replaced by machines. You cannot change the business model as much as it has changed and not expect the contract to change too. We are labor and we stand tall and we demand respect. Paul Jarley: Oh my, this is going to get really complicated. In the meantime, prepare for a new round of reality TV. This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions, to get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, is this really a thing? On to our show. The writers and actors haven't been out on strike together since 1960. Then, it was partly about how television was impacting the film industry and getting residual income for writers and actors from movies that were then being shown on TV. The business model was changing and labor wanted its share. Screen Actors Guild President Fran Drescher's comments at the start of this podcast note that technology is changing the business model again with streaming services, digital media and AI among the main drivers. This is a very complicated situation, so complicated, that we couldn't fit it into our usual 25-to-30 minute podcast. So we decided to split it into two parts. Today we will tackle the basics of the strike and how and when we see it being resolved. The second part, we'll do a much deeper dive into AI and Hollywood and how that is likely to change the industry going forward, especially for writers and actors. Essentially, we want to answer the question, will anybody be left in Hollywood in 10 years?   As always, to shed light on these topics, I've assembled a group of UCF experts. Cassandra Willard is an instructor and Program Director at our Blackstone Launchpad and a practicing attorney with extensive experience in entertainment law. Ray Eddy is a lecturer in our Integrated Business program with an interest in understanding consumer experiences. Ray is not just an academic, he has worked as a stuntman, started his own production company and written, directed and starred in several performances. If you've been to Walt Disney World in the last several years, you may have seen Ray playing Indiana Jones, in Indiana Jones: Epic Stunt Spectacular. David Luna is a professor in our Marketing department.

“We must never be too busy to take time to sharpen the saw.” – Stephen Covey   Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the importance of investing in training. In this episode, Jason shares some of his takeaways from several training programs he joined, such as Growth Plans, KPIs, and Resource Mapping, as well as his take on taking MBAs before starting your own business. Stick around until the end of the episode to learn more about joining the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program.   3 KEY POINTS: Create and update your Growth Plans. Choose your KPIs carefully. Map out your resources.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Through taking several programs, Jason is developing his own curriculum for future courses/masterminds. An entrepreneur is a person with the ability to identify problems, spot opportunities, organize resources, and provide the leadership needed to build, create, and offer the market a product or service of value. Growth Plans are similar to Business Plans, but more focused on growth opportunities. They are living documents that you constantly update as your business develops and grows. Key Performance Indicators are referred to some as Key Predictive Indicators. These indicators allow you to spot potential problems quickly to change the predicted outcome. MBAs focus more on teaching you how to be a corporate manager rather than being an entrepreneur. Resource Mapping allows you to assess what your business needs and where change should be focused on. Human Resources/Human Capital - one of the things you have to leverage in order to scale. Assess what your business needs to do its job better. Once we reach a certain amount of scale, having all of these systems, procedures, and a team of leaders is critical. Social Resources/Network - includes being a part of masterminds, local business programs, community training programs, university programs, etc. Jason was invited to become an advisor to the UCF College of Nursing. Organizational Resource - What kind of company culture, systems, and reputation do you have? Physical Resources - What kind of essential equipment do you have? Do you need/have a physical location? Technological Resources - Do you hold any particular intellectual property, patents, or trademarks? What kind of technological or network systems do you have in place? Financial Resources - Do you have a strong/weak cash flow? Some businesses have more resource categories than others. Jason is planning to enroll in even more programs to bring his students the absolute best content. If you're interested in applying for the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program, listen until the end of the episode.   TWEETABLE QUOTES: “Build a solid foundation from which your business can scale much faster rather, than scaling too quickly and having the whole thing collapse.” – Jason A. Duprat "Growing a business is hard, but at the end of the day, you can be proud that you created a legacy from zero." – Jason A.

GameStop and AMC made national headlines for unexpected reasons as retail investors from social media website Reddit began feverishly scooping up shares in each company. While the resulting drama caused wild swings in stock prices and scrutiny against some online trading platforms, the long term impacts remain to be seen. Did "Redditors" usher in a new era of retail stock trading? Or are these so-called meme stocks just another example of financial history repeating itself?   Featured Guests Garrett Cummings - President, UCF Young Investors Club Josh Miranda - Communications & Marketing Coordinator, UCF College of Business Kevin Mullally, Ph.D. - Assistant Professor of Finance, UCF College of Business Episode Highlights 1:04 - Introduction 2:48 - Why would anyone invest in GameStop? 7:22 - What led to the media spotlight on $GME? 12:37 - Who is the group driving the run on GameStop stock? 14:27 - Is this a legitimate area of finance research? 16:37 - Historical similarities 20:12 - How is this run on $GME going to end? 22:08 - What's the future for meme stocks as a whole? 28:27 - Will this still be a story a year from now? 31:33 - Dean Jarley's final thoughts   Episode Transcription Paul Jarley:                         Remember the E-Trade Baby? E-Trade Baby:                    A lot of people are like, "Isn't it difficult to invest in the markets?" And I'm like, "Not if you're using E-trade. Making a big investment is as easy as a single click." Boom. I just bought some stocks. Paul Jarley:                         I think he was the first meme investor. He didn't last long. E-Trade Baby:                    Wait, why is this line going down? Oh God, it just dropped 400 points. This is not happening. Dear Lord, I made a horrible, horrible mistake. **** Paul Jarley:                         Or maybe he just moved onto the social media site, Reddit [crosstalk 00:00:31] and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars trading stock in GameStop. Turns out he's just one of many. E-Trade Baby:                    Take it back. Sell, sell, sell, sell, sell. Too late. It's all gone. Paul Jarley:                         This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, "Is this really a thing?" Onto our show. Paul Jarley:                         So GameStop has obviously been in the news a lot over the last week, and to help me understand what's going on here, I've convened a panel of experts. Kevin Mullally is an assistant professor in our finance department. Garrett Cummings is the president of our student investment club and a finance major. And I pulled in our own Josh Miranda, who knows a little bit about viral marketing and maybe viral finance to have a conversation about GameStop and its short-term and long-term implications. But I want to start out with a story. When I first came to UCF, one of the first groups I met with were some executives at EA sports. Paul Jarley:                         And they said to me, "We know right now we're a company that puts the $60 box in a GameStop for people to purchase, but we know that's about to go away. We know that a few years from now, we will have developed into something like iTunes, where people electronically download whatever the game is into their console. And we think after that, we will become a company that offers various components of games that people can download and create their own game. And we want to understand that consumer more and what aspects of the games they like and dislike, so that we can meet that market demand when it comes." Now, I raise that story because that was 10 years ago, and EA sports knew GameStop was dead then. So when I first heard the stories about GameStop,

Paul Jarley:                         Seven months into this pandemic and the UCF College of Business is largely empty. Office occupancy can't be greater than 10%. Many of my employees don't want to return to work. They tell me they can get their work done from home, just fine. Paul Jarley:                         It makes me wonder what I should do with all this space, but I have to admit, I'm not really sure what I'd turn it into. Maybe an apartment for me, so I never have to leave work? Perhaps dorms for students? Maybe, I could lease it all out to Amazon as warehousing space? I'm not really sure. Paul Jarley:                         To help me think about the future of office space, I've assembled a panel of experts. Listen in. Paul Jarley:                         If anybody can remember what life was like before March, could you talk a little bit about what the trends in class A office space has been, over the last few years? What have been the major trends that you are all seeing? Paul Jarley:                         Bill, do you want to kick us off? Bill Moss:                            So, everything was fine while I was still in the industry at CDRE. Since I left, it's all gone haywire. Paul Jarley:                         Bill Moss was the managing partner of CBRE. It's the largest commercial real estate brokerage company here in central Florida. Paul Jarley:                         These days, he's the director of the Dr. P. Phillips Institute for Research and Education in Real Estate at UCF. Bill Moss:                            Maybe Steve could kick things off with really,

Listen in for their truly motivating thoughts on how to find your own strengths, know your worth, and use your unique qualities to ultimately serve patients and the community!

Dr. Deborah German is the Founding Dean of the University of Central Florida College of Medicine. Established in 2006, the UCF College of Medicine is one of the first U.S. medical schools in decades to be built from the ground up.  Under her impressive leadership, the College of Medicine: Achieved full accreditation Raised funds to provide full four-year scholarships for the entire Charter class Built a team of over 500 faculty and staff, and Oversaw construction of 375,000 square feet of medical school space in the emerging Medical City at Lake Nona in Orlando. In our discussion today, Dr. German shares how she took on this seemingly impossible task, uniting a community around this exciting vision. Deb German is also a dear friend, someone I have known since our days together at Vanderbilt where she was Associate Dean for Students and later Senior Associate Dean of Medical Education.  Her passion and inclusive leadership was clear then and is palpable in our interview today.

For this episode we're doing something a little different.  We're taking you on the ground to Lake Nona Medical City in Orlando, Florida.  First proposed in 2005, the city was built from the ground up with a new first-class medical school as its anchor - the UCF College of Medicine.  Since that time several new nationally recognized healthcare institutions have opened their doors in Lake Nona, including: Nemours Children's Hospital, the University of Florida Research & Academic Center and College of Pharmacy, the UCF Lake Nona Cancer Center, and soon a new HCA hospital.  This convergence of medical and scientific knowledge is paired with a master-planned community focused on long-term health and wellness.  I was there in February for the Lake Nona Impact Forum, and saw firsthand this unique intersection of medical science and healthy living.  Join me as we talk to leaders that are making this forward-thinking community of the future possible.  Visit A Second Opinion's website here: https://asecondopinionpodcast.com/ Engage with us on social media at: Facebook Twitter Instagram

A media darling of sorts, UCF economist Sean Snaith's presentations across Central Florida tend to be an 80/20 mix of economic forecasting and comedy sketches. But the Director of the UCF Institute for Economic Forecasting means business - his forecasts have been named one of the nation's most accurate. This episode takes a "behind-the-scenes" look at Snaith's forecasting methods while exploring his thoughts on the state of the Florida economy in 2020.   Featured Guests Sean Snaith - Director, UCF Institute for Economic Forecasting Erika Hodges - Director, Communications & Marketing, UCF College of Business Jessica Dourney - Assistant Director, Outreach & Engagement, UCF College of Business Episode Highlights 1:48 - Paul Jarley introduces Sean Snaith 2:37 - What the Florida economy is going through 3:28 - Commentary from the "Mean Girls" 4:14 - Florida's housing market 07:04 - Sean Snaith: "King of the Nerds" 11:09 - Growth by industry in Florida 15:06 - Job and population growth in the state 17:01 - Questions from the audience 21:30 - Paul Jarley's final thoughts   Episode Transcription Paul Jarley:                         Sean Snaith is central Florida's favorite economic forecaster. Sean has been named one of the nation's most accurate forecasters by Bloomberg News and as appeared on pretty much every media outlet from the Wall Street Journal to the BBC. But he has some very strange hobbies. Sean Snaith:                       If you've heard me speak over the years, you know I have an affinity for SkyMall. Paul Jarley:                         You remember SkyMall, It's the defunct inflight shopping catalog that survives on the internet. Well, Sean, he might just be their biggest fan. Sean Snaith:                       The Dean called it a fetish, I think, last year, which, that sounds a little dirty. Paul Jarley:                         He's also a bit of a diva who dreams of becoming a viral internet sensation? Sean Snaith:                       So, everybody can't be a social influencer though. I mean, I think that's where they all want to be. I do too. Quite frankly, I've got 1300 on Twitter. I don't know what I can offer to them, but. Paul Jarley:                         And he hates being handled, especially by the college's so called mean girls. Sean Snaith:                       There's a group of, largely women, in the college of business and there'll be shaking you down for money here at the end of the event, but I like to refer to them collectively as the mean girls and they sort of followed me since middle school and they make fun of my clothing and my glasses and things like that. Speaker 3:                           I don't know if you've seen his PowerPoint slides, but we think they date back to the mid 1980s. Paul Jarley:                         Is Sean Snaith really worth all this trouble? Are those forecasts right? Or do those mean girls have a point? Speaker 4:                           That is so fetch. Speaker 5:                           Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen. It's not going to happen. Paul Jarley:                         This issue is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business here at UCF, I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, is this really a thing? Onto our show. Paul Jarley:                         This podcast is a condensed version of a talk Sean gave at our recent Dean Speaker Series, where he provided his economic forecast for both the US and Florida economies. Since Sean had already weighed in on the US economy as part of our podcast on whether the 2020 recession is really a thing, we focused today's show on his predictions for the Florida economy. We're calling this the mean girl edition because I've given the team th...

In the midst of the longest economic recovery in American history, the big question is when the next recession will hit. With unemployment reaching record lows, job growth skyrocketing and consumer confidence at an all-time high, some economists see no end in sight for the expansion that began in 2009. On the other hand, manufacturing is at a 10-year low while the U.S.-China trade war continues. Can the U.S. really avoid a recession in 2020? Or is the bubble about to pop?   Featured Guests Glenn Hubbard '79 - Economist; Chairman of the Board, MetLife Inc.

With new technology comes new ways to shop online and find a good deal, but retailers also have new tools at their disposal to charge customers higher prices. "Retail guru" Anand Krishnamoorthy discusses how retailers exploit consumers' lack of knowledge to charge higher prices and how shoppers can beat retailers at their own game this holiday season (and on Black Friday).   Featured Guests Anand Krishnamoorthy - Associate Professor of Marketing, UCF College of Business Episode Highlights 1:10 - Opaque Selling 4:11 - Examples of opaque selling in the marketplace 10:59 - The truth about "list prices" 14:25 - The shopping experience and its influence 19:51 - Price matching 27:52 - The New York Times: Charging more for less? 35:13 - Variable ticket pricing 39:33 - Paul Jarley's final thoughts   Episode Transcription Anand Krishnamoorthy:               This is something that many of us on the State side may not be familiar with. Eurowings is a German low cost flyer that doesn't even tell you what your destination will be, before you pay up. You will not know where you're flying to until you pay up. Paul Jarley:                         Here's a tip for value conscious holiday shoppers everywhere. You probably don't want to buy two tickets on that airline. This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, "Is this really a thing?" Onto our show. Paul Jarley:                         Everybody knows that person who will go to great lengths to get a deal, but is a deal ever really a deal? We're bringing back our retail guru, Anand Krishnamoorthyorthy to explain to you that a deal, well, probably isn't really a thing. With pricing games, there's always a loser and Anand explains, that's usually you, listen in. Anand Krishnamoorthy:               What I'll do today is talk about three broad topics in pricing games. The first of which is what we refer to as opaque selling, where product attributes are hidden. Then we'll talk about where pricing cues are hidden. We'll start off with something that firms do a lot of, which is cost plus pricing. Some of you are familiar with this term, at least you've used it in the past, which is, you figured out your cost, tack on a markup, and then figure out your price based on that. Anand Krishnamoorthy:               Many firms practices, but if you ask them, they will not admit to it because it's a decidedly unsophisticated way to price. So why is it a problem? Let's start one, you're pricing based on things that consumers have no idea about. Consumers usually don't know what a firm's costs are. Even if they knew, why would you care? Why would a firm's production process of manufacturing plant factor into how much you'd be willing to pay? Anand Krishnamoorthy:               As a way of maybe channeling venture payroll's book, it's because costs don't care about consumer feelings. Costs are based off of things that consumers don't care about at all. It is consumers wanting benefits, consumers wanting other attributes, et cetera, rather than costs. Anand Krishnamoorthy:               To put it another way, if I'm inefficient, and I work for you and I take three days to do a job that you expect done in one, would you pay me three times as much? No. Then why would you expect firms to pay for consumers in terms of costs? Consumers do not want to compensate firms for their ineptitude, why would you expect cost to drive pricing? Anand Krishnamoorthy:               So then perhaps better ways to price would be, price based on consumer benefits. That is, figuring out what consumers want, price based off of that. Consumers would want that, ideally. The problem is, consumer benefits are very hard to figure out. In fact,

Presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle point to a host of different factors for the state of the U.S. economy. With an economic recession on the way, renowned economist Glenn Hubbard joins UCF Business faculty John Solow, Sami Alpanda and Paul Jarley to discuss the hot topic of income inequality and when we can expect the current expansion to hit a wall. Is a recession really on our doorstep?   Featured Guests Glenn Hubbard '79 - Economist; Chairman of the Board, MetLife Inc. John Solow - Kenneth White and James Xander Professor in Economics, UCF College of Business Sami Alpanda - Associate Professor, Economics, UCF College of Business Episode Highlights 1:02 - Guest introductions 3:02 - Rising income inequality 7:24 -Technical disruption in the workplace 15:54 - Politcal response to a changing economy 21:00 - Trade wars 25:35 - Rising healthcare and pharmaceutical costs 29:46 - President Trump, politicians on the economy 33:41 - Questions from the audience 40:48 - Paul Jarley's final thoughts   Episode Transcription Paul Jarley:                         The economy is a thing. The national election is a thing. But, the stuff politicians talk about on the way to Election Day? Well, those aren't always things. We've assembled a panel of experts. Listen up, people. Paul Jarley:                         This year was all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, is this really a thing? On to our show. Paul Jarley:                         This podcast comes from an event where we were celebrating Glen Hubbard, and his gift to endow a professorship in economics. Listen in. Paul Jarley:                         I didn't want to resist the huge opportunity I had today to get together a panel to talk a little bit about the relationship between the economy and the political election that's coming up. So we're going to talk a little bit about whether a number of things are sort of a thing, or not in as non-political a way as we can here. Paul Jarley:                         I have three panelists with me today to help me understand some things. Most of you know Glenn Hubbard. What you may not know is Glenn Hubbard is a graduate of our economics department at UCF. He studied here. He is currently the chairman of the board of MetLife and is the former dean of the Columbia Business School. He is still a professor there, and I like to joke with Glenn, after you're a dean, the comment that you always make is you get to go back to be part of the problem, right, and then, the part of solution, and he's enjoying that a great deal. Glenn Hubbard:               Totally. Totally. Paul Jarley:                         Right now. Paul Jarley:                         Next to Glenn is John Solow. John is new to the college this year. He spent many years at Iowa. In fact, John and I were assistant professors together many, many years ago. And, he sits in the White, Xander endowed Professorship in Economics that Glenn and Glenn's wife, Constance, has funded. Glenn Hubbard:               [inaudible 00:02:01]. Paul Jarley:                         And, it's not named after them. It's named after the two faculty members, who were most influential to Glenn while he was here becoming an economist. That's really awesome, and we're really glad to have John with us today. Paul Jarley:                         My last guest is Sami Alpanda. Sami is an associate professor in the Department of Economics and spent four years? Sami Alpanda:                   [inaudible 00:02:22] there? Yes. Paul Jarley:                         Four years at the central Bank of Canada. So I thought he would also bring kind of a really interesting perspective to what we're going ...

Many successful people are sleep deprived, but that doesn't mean coffee and energy drinks are the keys to business success. In fact, these individuals are likely successful despite their lack of sleep — not because of it. Is shaving off a few hours of sleep really worth the extra time? Jeff Gish, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Management at UCF College of Business, explains how sleep plays a pivotal role in the development of new ideas and business ventures.   Featured Guests Jeff Gish - Assistant Professor, Management Episode Highlights 0:46 - Paul Jarley's introductory thoughts 1:39 - The effects of sleep on entrepreneurship 8:58 - How does sleep effect the evaluation of ideas? 17:56 - Jeff Gish's sleep deprivation experiment 23:13 - Solving your sleep equation 25:05 - Questions from the audience   Episode Transcription Paul Jarley:                         Tom Ford, fashion designer, gets three; Donald Trump says he gets three to four; Martha Stewart, under four; Jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter, four to six; Barack Obama, six. Successful people tell us if you want to get ahead, you need to work more and sleep less. It's the price of success, but is it? Paul Jarley:                         This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, is this really a thing? Onto our show. Paul Jarley:                         Today's podcast is from a Dean's speaker series talk by Jeff Gish. Jeff is a professor in our management department and is an expert in entrepreneurship. He hasn't just studied it. He's actually lived it. As an entrepreneur, he spent a lot of sleepless hours trying to get his business off the ground. His insights are really meant to be an intervention for my chief of operations, Tiffany Hughes. You all know a Tiffany. She's that person who never sleeps. She sends you calendar requests at three in the morning. She responds to your emails overnight. And she's at work before you are. If you plead with her to stop, she answers you with something like, "I just have to get this done." Mercifully, my Tiffany doesn't really understand Twitter, but does it really need to be this way? Or is this workaholic culture that we're all in just getting in our way? Listen in. Jeff Gish:                             Let's get into this talk about sleep and entrepreneurship. And I've titled it, money never sleeps, but entrepreneurs should. That's very prescriptive. I hope that you agree by the end of this presentation, and I'd like to start off the talk with this quote from Ben Horowitz. Ben Horowitz is co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz. It's a VC firm over in the West Coast, but he's a former CEO too, a former founder. When he talks about his CEO experience or his founding experience, he says, "When I was a startup CEO, I slept like a baby. I woke up every two hours and cried." I share this quote because it's a little bit funny. It gets people engaged, but it's also very true. I had a business with 57 employees before joining the academic realm, and I felt a lot of pressure when I was an entrepreneur. And this person felt the pressure too, it was hard to sleep. Jeff Gish:                             And on top of that, you feel like your business is so important. There's this tension in entrepreneurship that your business is so important that how can you sleep when you've got to keep things afloat and keep things moving. Ben Horowitz picks up on that in this quote, and I picked up on this with my coauthors that wrote this paper that was just recently published. Just the fact that entrepreneurs are of this culture that I'll sleep when I die, or sleep is for weaklings. I was a person who touted those messages as a small business entrepreneur.

  Some claim a company’s brand is its most valuable asset, while a logo can have a powerful impact on consumer behaviors. Household names like Coca-Cola, Tropicana and Gap are just a few examples of companies that have enjoyed tremendous success and endured rebranding failures. But how much can packaging, imagery and marketing tactics really inject new life into an unchanged product? And will a customer’s relationship with a brand really prevent them from buying into a competitor?   Featured Guests Carolyn Massiah - Associate Chair, Department of Marketing, UCF College of Business Episode Highlights 6:33 - What makes up a company's brand 13:58 - Why consumers form relationships with brands 17:55 - Reasons a company would benefit from a rebranding effort 29:11 - Tips to carry out a successful rebrand 40:56 - Dean Paul Jarley's final thoughts   Episode Transcription   Paul Jarley:                         FTU became UCF in 1978. Since that time would become the Knights, the Golden Knights, and the Knights again. Kentucky Fried Chicken became KFC in 1991. Backrub became Google in 1997. Deloitte added a green dot in 2003. Tropicana changed the packaging of its orange juice in 2009 and then changed it back. CFE Credit Union became Addition Financial in 2019. In all but the first case, I'm pretty sure some rebranding genius got paid a fortune. But seriously, does any of this really matter? Paul Jarley:                         This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley. Dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, "Is this really a thing?" Onto our show. Paul Jarley:                         I've been known to tell staff in meetings that I'm not the dean of that. It's my way of letting people know that I think their issue isn't worth my time. I hit upon this phrase back in my days at the University of Kentucky. The college had just gone through a rebranding effort, and one of my colleagues didn't like our new stationary. He was refusing to use it, and he wanted me to tell the dean that he should get a pass. After listening to this for 20 minutes I told him that I refuse to be the associate dean of stationary and asked him to get out of my office. The phrase just stuck with me. Paul Jarley:                         My marketing colleagues, on the other hand, would disagree with me. They think a company's brand is its most important asset and that any rebranding campaign is a process that is fraught with peril, like employees not embracing the change. Meh, maybe. Or maybe it's just a way for consultants to charge big bucks to help you design a new logo that they claim with rival the swoosh and make you the darlings of consumers everywhere. Paul Jarley:                         A few weeks ago we hosted our last dean speaker series of the academic year, and given that our sponsor, CFE Credit Union, had just changed its name to Addition Financial, we thought it was the perfect time to have Dr. Caroline Massiah address the whole rebranding thing. It was such an engaging discussion that we decided to turn it into our latest podcast. Carolyn Massiah:             I'm going to begin with a quick, funny travel story, and it will help us lead into the discussion. Carolyn Massiah:             This past weekend I had to go, not had, I wanted to, I went to Boston. My goddaughter got married and, first of all, for those of us in Florida, when we travel anywhere, we forget that the rest of the world doesn't have the same weather all year around, so I experienced three seasons in three days in Boston. Carolyn Massiah:             The other thing that happened, we get to the airport to return home and my teenage son and I, my husband was staying behind for business, my teenage son and I, we board the plane.

Some people are born with leadership skills, but that doesn't necessarily mean others can't learn. Dr. James T. Brown packs an impressive 16 years of increasingly responsible leadership positions at NASA and later worked as a consultant and trainer in leadership, project management and decision making before becoming a faculty member at the UCF College of Business. Dr. Brown is simply an expert in leadership training and project management. But does teaching someone what makes a leader mean they can become a leader themselves?   Featured Guests: James T. Brown - Lecturer, Integrated Business, UCF College of Business Episode Transcription:   Paul Jarley:                         It's not uncommon to hear people say, "You can't teach leadership. Leaders are born, not made." It's a fair argument. Quality of leadership isn't always something that can be measured. And you just can't expect to become a leader by reading stuff out of a book. After all, you don't become a chef by studying a cookbook. You have to cook. But that doesn't mean theory from the classroom can't be put into practice. Paul Jarley:                         This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business, here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, "Is this really a thing?" On to our show. Paul Jarley:                         This episode features one out our Integrated Business faculty. Dr. James T. Brown, is an engineer at heart. He spent more than 15 years at NASA. He later used this experience to offer consulting and training services on leadership, project management, and decision making, to companies both small and large. Every month, we pick one of our faculty members to address a crowd of local business partners and alumni at an event we call The Dean's Speaker Series. This time, we invited Dr. Brown to talk about what makes a good leader, some of the worst pitfalls he's ever seen, and how to avoid some of these missteps. Naturally, we pulled out the best parts, and turned it into a podcast. I hope you enjoy. James T. Brown:               Project management is an art. That is why everybody can't do it. I don't care how much process you have, doesn't make a difference. Project management is an art. Just like art, it has principles. Every artist knows what happens when you mix red and yellow. `The principles are there, but the actual application of it is an art. It's very difficult. James T. Brown:               There's a little girl. You may have heard of her before. She shows up at the three bears' house. And she says, "Too hot. Too cold. Too hard. Too soft." What is she looking for? Crowd:                                 [crosstalk 00:02:06] James T. Brown:               Just right. This is what we're looking for with process. Just right. Can you give me the just right amount of process? And good process is born out of leadership. You get the leadership right, the process will be right. You can't take process and be successful in the absence of leadership. James T. Brown:               The reason I wrote a book on program management and not project management is this. Most project failure isn't caused by the project manager. It's caused by the people above them. The people above them are the ones that put the project managers in a position that makes it difficult for them to be successful. So a lot of what I talked about today with leadership, it applies to project managers, but it also applies to those people that are above them. James T. Brown:               So this is our, our breakfast menu today. The one that's underlined there, establish accountability and clear direction. That's what I'm going to talk about first. So establish accountability and clear direction. I was in the company headquarters.

It's an 18 year UCF college student staring at a camera. Seriously, can this really be a thing? This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, is this really a thing? Onto our show. Paul Jarley:                         So how can a college freshman staring blankly into space get more likes on social media than the UCF national championship football team? Erik Kohler is the stadium voice of UCF football. Erik Kohler:                        Well, what's funny is, I'm up there in the production box of the sights and sounds of the stadium, and we go through the camera shots like we're doing like a fan of the game or marketing promotions and such. And we came across the crazy students section and everyone was going crazy and all of a sudden, the camera caught Anthony Allan, that just had this dead stare face. I think his nickname is Frozen Face. And the camera caught it and I could hear our camera guy says, hey, go back to that kid. And sure enough everybody started looking at video board, everybody just became enamored that he didn't blink, it was just kind of like a blank face, or a frozen face, I should say, and then it took off like wildfire. Paul Jarley:                         This didn't stop at the first game. It continued last week. Erik Kohler:                        We had it, where there was cutouts of his face, right. The fans were moving it and then the TV camera perfectly zoomed through all those faces that were fake, or the fat heads and there was real Anthony right in the middle, and that was hilarious. Paul Jarley:                         Marissa, one of our UCF College of Business ambassadors was in the stands at the time. Marissa:                               I think I definitely thought creepy at first. But because everybody started laughing, then it became more funny. His social media went a little bit viral, he got a ton of followers from that. So ... Paul Jarley:                         I was at the game last week, it was awesome, to understand what happened, I went to Nick Riggle. How are you doing my friend? Nick Riggle:                        I'm great. I'm great. Paul Jarley:                         Nick holds a PhD in philosophy from NYU. He was our guest speaker at Welcome to the Majors a couple of years ago, and he's written a book called, On Being Awesome: A Unified Theory of How Not to Suck. Nick and I sat down to talk about social openings. Nick Riggle:                        A social opening is an opportunity, it's a kind of .... It happens when an individual expresses him or herself in a way that gets other people to express themselves, often by like breaking the norms or breaking out of your social roles or doing what's unexpected or surprising. Paul Jarley:                         Is our staring man, is that a social opening? Nick Riggle:                        And so I think the staring guy actually does this, and I think it's brilliant. But what's special about this one is that it seems to me to be a social opening between the audience member and the cameraman, and maybe the producers as well. But it's one that is so weird and fun that it resonates throughout the rest of the crowd. And so they're kind of engaging at one remove. Paul Jarley:                         A philosopher ...

Jim Adamczyk - Senior Executive VP / CLO, FAIRWINDS Credit Union Mike Johnson - Dean, UCF College of Sciences Episode Transcription:   Paul Jarley:                         This is a story of a man who was ahead of his time. Some say that he had the most important idea of the last 500 years. He may very well have helped to invent the future. He most certainly understood the role trust plays in our modern economy. And he was of all things, a mild mannered accounting professor. Paul Jarley:                         This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, "Is this really a thing?". On to our show. [music]` Paul Jarley:                         A few months ago, I received an email from Mike Johnson. Mike is Dean of the College of Sciences and more importantly, my drinking buddy. The subject line read, Innovations in Accounting. Who knew? I opened the email and clicked on the link to an article entitled, "Why Everyone Missed the Most Important Invention of the Last 500 Years". I was skimming the article when Greg Trompeter walked into my office. Greg is the director of the Dixon School of Accounting, and so I turned to him and said, "Hey Greg, have you ever heard of triple entry bookkeeping?" Greg Trompeter:              (laughs). Triple entry bookkeeping. Paul Jarley:                         Indeed he had. Greg Trompeter:              It's an idea that came up, maybe in the mid to late 1970s. There was a professor at Carnegie Mellon. His name is Yuji Ijiri and he came up with a notion that for four or five hundred years people had been using double entry bookkeeping as if it were perfection itself. He said, "Well, maybe you could make it better". Paul Jarley:                         Okay, let's stop right there. I realize a podcast in accounting theory is a bold move. But Dr. Ijiri was quite the dude. His obituary notes he was interested in things like the relationship between accounting, quantum physics, and quantum computing. How many people do you think are trying to connect those dots? He didn't strike me as the kind of guy who would waste his time on frivolous pursuits. Yuji Ijiri:                               Bookkeeping evolved from single entry, which just recorded what happened, to a double entry, where what happened has to be explained by reasoning. Paul Jarley:                         Dr. Ijiri might be dead, but in the miracle of today's modern technology, he left behind a YouTube video explaining his ideas around triple entry bookkeeping. Yuji Ijiri:                               I get attracted by three. Everything three is very interesting and much more complex than two. And what the triple entry might look like. Paul Jarley:                         He challenged a group of Ph.D. students to figure this out. 10 years lapsed, when he realized... Yuji Ijiri:                               Nobody is doing anything about it. (laughs). Paul Jarley:                         So he decided to take matters into his own hands. Yuji wrote two books on the subject. The second of which... Yuji Ijiri:                               bases on the calculus of taking a type of derivative of existing accounting and come up with a new dimension and then create the double entry at that level. I think it has a lot of applications... Paul Jarley:                         I know that seems esoteric, but Dr. Ijiri's ideas might just rock your world. As Greg explains, changes in accounting facilitated changes in markets and signific...

Companies like IKEA and Pepsi are hoping artificial intelligence will help cut hiring costs, but all this new technology may just be leading to more incivility in the job market. Prepare to be ghosted, my friends. Paul Jarley:                         This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, "Is this really a thing?" On to our show. Paul Jarley:                         To a graduating senior, the job market can be a scary place. If you think a 4% unemployment rate has eased these concerns, think again. Just pray that this horror story doesn't happen to you. “Ellen”:                                I got three interviews. I did all of them and I got called back for one from a local firm. I went to the second interview. They told me that, it was maybe on a Monday, and they told me they would reach out to me again by Friday. They even gave me the employment paperwork, and then they never reached out to me ever again. Paul Jarley:                         Let's just call her "Ellen." But an incident like this? “Ellen”:                                Nothing. Just completely ghosted me. Paul Jarley:                         It's a bit of shock to the ego. “Ellen”:                                I figured that if they didn't want me, they would at least tell me they didn't want me. Paul Jarley:                         What has that experience done to you? “Ellen”:                                It was really frustrating because I put a lot into preparing for it. I was really excited about it. It's discouraging. Paul Jarley:                         Discouraging, but hardly new. Stefanie Hill:                     I think with technology, there are so many platforms now and, depending on the business, you're not paying for every single platform. Paul Jarley:                         That's Stefanie Hill, a Career Coach in our Office of Professional Development. She's explaining how greater use of technology in the applicant screening process is leading to more ghosting by employers. Stefanie Hill:                     An applicant tracking system is what employers use to track all of the applicants that come through and apply on their website. If you're using that ATS, that's great, but you have to drive traffic to you website, which a lot of employers don't pay for extra marketing to do that. You're gonna go on CareerBuilder, you're gonna go on Indeed. If your organization doesn't shell out thousands of dollars to pay for these different platforms, then they're not communicating with your ATS. In that instance, you're going on three different platforms. You would have to send rejection letters to all three different platforms, depending on who applied on which, and a lot of times with all of those applicants it's hard for employers and recruiters, especially, to keep track of all of that Paul Jarley:                         It's just too much work to contact everybody. Stefanie Hill:                     I believe so. I also think it depends on the means of how you're communicating with somebody. Paul Jarley:                         Sometimes when the employer calls, no one's home. Given the pressures of time, the employer just moves on. Stefanie Hill:                     If you're doing that through a phone call or voicemail,

This week on From the HeART, Joshua Vickery and Mary Thompson Hunt speak with the leadership from the UCF College of Arts and Humanities and the future of the program. 

Session 74 Our poster this week is questioning whether or not he should apply this cycle with low grades and not a lot of extracurriculars. He is getting very nervous about applying and getting some cold feet. If you have any questions, sign up for a free account at the OldPreMeds.org and join a collaborative community of like-minded students. [01:05] OldPreMeds Question of the Week: "I'm two years out of college with the hopes that I would have applied to medical last cycle (2016) to start in 2017. However, when the time came to send out my primary, I couldn't bring myself to do it. With a very low cumulative GPA of 3.05 and a science GPA of 3.25, a 502 MCAT and very, very few extracurriculars, I decided to wait a year and better my application. A year has come and gone and yet I still feel hesitant to apply. I have been working a job as an Emergency Room technician, volunteering in a hospital, and again preparing to take the MCAT. Even if I get an outstanding score on the MCAT, I feel that it will not be enough to get in. What is your advice? Do I apply anyways? Or do I spend another year in limbo and get a Master's or postbac while gaining more ECs (extracurriculars)?" [02:10] Your Numbers Are Just a Portion of Your Application This student is nervous about spending the money to apply to medical school without getting in. It's a legitimate concern, especially given the GPAs for this student which aren't great. Then a 502 MCAT with that MCAT isn't great. However, as I've mentioned in the past, the MCAT and GPA are just a portion of your application. So you can't only go on that. [03:00] Clinical Experience & Extracurriculars Episode 171 of The Premed Years Podcast, I had a discussion with a former Dean of Admissions at UC Irvine where she talked about a lack of clinical experience being one of the big reasons to not get into medical school. This poster obviously recognizes the fact that they lack some extracurriculars and got a job as an emergency room technician. Does this mean you're interacting with patients? If that's what you're doing then great. Taking the MCAT again is also great and you have to do well. [03:45] Taking Postbac Classes What I would have liked to see over the past year is you taking postbac classes. It doesn't have to be a formal postbac but doing ore classes to bring up your GPA from a 3.05 and get a cumulative up to 3.2 or 3.3 and your science GPA up higher around to 3.5. This would be fantastic and it would make an admissions committee think twice about that application. I had a great discussion with the Dean of Admissions at the University of Central Florida where we talked about nontraditional students who have done poorly in the past. He discussed how he looks at applications. He looks at the last 20 hours of science coursework and if you've done well in those last 20 hours, his assumption is you'll be fine in medical school. The poster did not give any trends on their grades. They may have an amazing upward trend but their cumulative GPA and science GPA are still lower. A lot more information would be helpful here but if you were able to take the MCAT and get a great score, apply. The only worst thing that could happen is them telling you no. Assume that your GPA is going to hold you back so start taking some classes and do that now. And get ready to apply again. The safer bet that a lot of students don't like to be classified as a reapplicant is usually an unfounded fear. Being a reapplicant doesn't hurt you. But on the safe side, you can continue working as an EMT in the hospital, take classes, and improve your GPA. Take the MCAT, do well on it and apply next year. [05:55] Final Thoughts There are so many variables that go into a good medical school application that can get overwhelming. What happened to this student is a common thing where you get shy about pulling a trigger and then you don't apply because you feel you're not good enough. Then a year goes by and you really didn't do much to adjust that so you're still not good enough and this becomes a cascading problem of never being good enough. So take those next steps. Figure out where you need to go and pull the trigger. Take some classes. Do whatever you need to do to improve that MCAT score and hopefully, you will put together successful application. Obviously, personal statement, extracurriculars, secondary essays, and interview prep all go into a great medical school application.
