I'm truly honored to have been part of the inaugural episode of the "Disruption in Real Time" podcast, hosted by the amazing team at the Disruption Lab (DLab) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Gies College of Business. 🎙️ This podcast, focusing on disruptive innovation and real-world insights, was an incredible opportunity to share my experiences, connect with the vibrant Gies community, and engage in meaningful conversations about innovation and leadership. A heartfelt thank you to Kelly Janssen for her leadership and vision in making this happen, and to Tiffany Armas, MBA and Sam Chen for being fantastic hosts who made the experience both enjoyable and seamless. I'm also deeply grateful to the entire team who worked on the podcast launch—your dedication and enthusiasm are truly inspiring. I’m excited to see how the podcast resonates with the Gies community and beyond as it gets promoted over the coming weeks. Looking forward to continuing this journey with DLab and contributing to the impactful work they are doing. Let’s disrupt the ordinary and innovate for a better tomorrow! 💡 #GiesBusiness #DisruptionLab #Innovation #Leadership #PodcastLaunch #Thankful
