Off The Rack Business Essentials!

My big complaint about education is that it is out of touch. Great textbooks that are wonderful historical documents BUT they are not really good at looking at what is happening right now! This show, with Narain Jashanmal, is a great conversation about some essential reading off the magazine rack. This is a free education! Here is the podcast.

BIZ101

All too often we pick up a textbook and figure it will help us with the basics of our business. Maybe, maybe not.

Nevercell on Nightline

It isn't very often that you get to listen to a local heavy metal band on talk radio in Dubai. Well this is as much about music and culture as it is about education! Really! These guys are all university graduates and they have taken on this music, as an artistic form of expression. I got to chat with 2 of the band members for an hour and was floored! And we had a chance to listen to a couple of songs! Great story and great music! Enjoy. Here is the whole sow. This is a shorter piece where we talk about and listen to the 7th song on the 2nd CD.
