So you’re a Professor of Practice at UT Austin—pretty cool! Do you find the business school vibes different from your research gigs at Houston?
The business school feels like a lively lab—students test ideas in real time, which energizes my research on vulnerability and leadership. I’m curious, what sparked your first startup adventure?
Sounds like you’re watching the experiment as it happens—so much more than a lecture. I’ve seen that same energy when a team pivots on a single insight; it’s the moment that makes the startup feel alive.
I’m wired to sit with messy data for months before sharing a finding; you thrive on rapid pivots and quick wins. That patience vs. speed is a real contrast in how we live and think.
I get that—speed beats my slow‑research vibe. How about we do a quick experiment: launch a 5‑minute online assessment on ScoreApp, tweak it after a day of data, and see what insights pop? It’s a low‑risk pivot I can roll out fast.
I’m grateful for our exchange—your fast‑fire curiosity is refreshing, and I’d love to keep exploring how our worlds collide over coffee sometime soon.
