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.
Tim is cool. At least, if you think it’s cool to fly fighter jets in covert operations, head security for New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, and become a computer science professor working on big tech challenges. Meet Tim Pierson.
Tim Pierson is interesting: Air force Officer, Special Ops, Metropolitan Museum of Art, management consultant at McKinsey, hedge fund manager, and computer scientist. Tim’s done – and is doing – all of these things. Oh, and he has an MBA and Ph.D. too. The Sydcast is all about telling a story, and that’s what we do with Tim, from a kid in rural Michigan who’s the first in his family to go to college all the way to becoming a professor at an Ivy League university conducting research on how technology is infiltrating every aspect of our lives. Listen in as we talk about all this, plus what’s wrong with self-driving cars and how technology might affect how our brains even function in the future.
