The Sydcast is all about intimate and informative conversations with fascinating people you may not know. Until now. Because everyone has a story.
Listen in as Syd talks to entrepreneurs, community leaders, professional athletes, politicians, academics, authors, musicians, and many more about who they are and how they got there.
Sydney Finkelstein is an award winning professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, and a best-selling author of Superbosses and 25 other books. He’s written for the Harvard Business Review, the BBC, Fortune, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, and more academic journals than you’d care to know about. He spends his time asking questions, and sometimes, even answering them.
I’m sitting down with one of New Hampshire’s most distinguished educators: Bill Hammond. He’s worked in the Hanover-Norwich school system for 36 years as a principal and teacher. He has taught thousands of students in multiple academic disciplines, and I bet a crazy number of these alumni remember Bill to this day. That’s impact, and that’s why I wanted to bring Bill’s story to The Sydcast listening community around the world. And what a story it is – growing up with 11 siblings, crafting a life of learning, and doing it in some of the most innovative ways you could think of. Bill is a master teacher, and nothing less. In this episode, Bill shares his take on growing up, growing smart, and learning to grow at your own pace in an era where the pressures on youth have never been greater.
