Sporadically on Tuesday mornings.

Come prepared and on time. Make sure that your recording room is quiet and your Internet connection is solid.

Not at all. I review the general outline before recording with guests but frequenlty deviate from it. Think Curb Your Enthusiasm—a semi-scripted show.

Yes, but I won’t spend hours doing extensive audio edits. It’s a professional show, but I like the fact it isn’t overly polished. If you insist that I take out every um or ah, then you best not appear on the show.

I politiely ask that you share the episode with your networks on different social-media channels. No, you don’t have to bombard them, but tweeting or posting an update on Facebook or LinkedIn isn’t too much of an ask. Oh, and please do tag me.

I am. Contact me to start the process.

In November 2022, I started reading some of my blog posts and posting them on anchor.fm. Short Form isn’t a traditional podcast; it’s just a way for others to listen to my short-form thoughts.

I work on a retainer basis.

The problems that I solve require more than a one-hour consultation. Checking in for one hour every three months is not a recipe for success. At the same time, however, I understand that people may not have unlimited time to spend. Long story short: I try to be as flexible as possible.

If requested, sure. They just can’t be too onerous.

Usually no. I want to maintain a direct relationship with my customers. I strongly prefer not having to deal with third parties as it pertains to billing and other administrative matters.

Yes.

Yes, since April of 2021. I also received a booster shot. 

My talks fuse current trends, tech, management, and data. Specific topics include the future of work, platforms, Big Data, management, technology, trends, collaboration, workplace tech, and communication.

I prefer to use my own computer. I’ve had way too many issues with using other people’s machines. Beyond that, I’m pretty low-maintenance. I like using projectors, lecterns, and confidence monitors. I prefer lavaliers to proper microphones. I arrive the night before events to ensure that there are no travel snafus. Finally, on the day of the event, I like to do a soundcheck at least two hours before I’m scheduled to go on. Belts and braces, as they say.

No, they are not. They are all customized. I work with my clients through a series of phone calls to determine what they want from my talks—and, just as important, what they don’t want me to cover.

Knock yourself out.

Good things.

Absolutely. I really enjoy individual interactions with conference attendees.

I do not. I chose not to renew my appointment in May of 2020.

Many reasons factored into my decision, not the least of which was my desire to spread my wings and teach at other institutions. To be sure, ASU provided me with an invaluable foundation and I made the most of my opportunity. At the same time, though, I know that I can do a whole lot more and effectively teach critical classes.

Under the guidelines of The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), I qualify as a scholarly practitioner. Click here to learn more.

Just on LinkedIn.

It’s pretty straightforward. Click here to learn about how I approach it.

In short, all kinds. At ASU and Cornell, I taught undergrads. For UOL, I taught predominantly grad students.

Yes, if you meet the following criteria. First, you must have received at least an A- in my class. Second, you must have received at least a 40/50 for class participation. Third, you were an in-person student. I just don’t get to know my online students very well.

If you qualify, then I’ll happily sing your praises to future employers and grad schools.

No.

I never have and I never will. Here’s why.

I have taught both but I prefer the personal interaction that only in-person classes can offer. As much as I like using technology to communicate with students, I’m well aware of the limitations of remote tools. Beyond that, recording lectures for future viewing doesn’t allow me to tweak them before live classes.

For all of these reasons, if I had my druthers, I would teach largely in-person courses.

Far less frequently than I check Slack.

No. I sold the company on August 4, 2017. Click here to read more about the acquisition. For four years after, I maintained the website, but I no longer do that. 

I started Racket Publishing in 2022.

I’ll always have a conversation.

Very infrequently and for not much longer. #diasterzone

I moved to Arizona after taking a job as a professor at ASU. I had spent the previous five years in Vegas.

For a very long time, I didn’t maintain one. If I did, I figured that it would look like the ones referenced here. In short, I believe that my body of work on this site and many others trumps a three-page, text-laden document that proves that I can conform to rules. I have worked extremely hard over my career at creating what I believe is interesting and valuable content, the vast majority of which you’ll find on this site.

I still believe these things. However, In 2015 I pursued—and landed—a full-time professor position. As a result, I buckled and put one together.

First, thank you for the compliment. For a while, I built websites for a select group of clients. I ultimately decided, though, that the squeeze just wasn’t worth the juice.

No. There are more than 1,400 posts on this site. There’s plenty to read, and I flag these requests as spam. Be warned. 

All Mac, baby.

It’s very important for me to get my ya-ya’s out. I like to get a proper sweat going every day either at the gym or on the tennis court. Depending on the time of year, I might torture myself on the golf course. Beyond physical activity, I feed my brain via reading, Sudoku, Scrabble, Jumble, and other games designed to keep it sharp.

Over the past five years, I’ve endorsed a decent number of books. Typically, I have known the author for a while.

I’m not. It’s the very definition of a shitshow. Tweet at me if you like, but I won’t notice it.
