Extracted Content: In fall 2017, Michael Brady MBA ’19 and Harrison Jobe MBA ’19 had the idea to start a podcast called Present Value. Now nine episodes in, the entirely student-run podcast goes in-depth into the careers of highly esteemed professors here at Cornell and has listeners across six continents and nearly 30 countries.
Upon entering Cornell’s Two-Year MBA program, Brady and Jobe realized that there was no good way to engage with professors before arriving on campus. Wanting to learn more about the work of these professors with many years of experience in their field, they saw an opportunity to create something of value. With the help of two of their fellow classmates, Caroline Wright MBA ’19 and Chris Alberico MBA ’19, they created the podcast Present Value.
Each episode highlights the career of a different professor from a broad range of disciplines. The most recent episode features General George Casey, a distinguished senior lecturer in the S.C. Johnson School of Business, who has had a 41-year career in the army. Other guests include professors such as Prof. Robert Hockett, law, and Prof. Thomas Gilovich, psychology.
