Prof. Michael D. Smith, Professor of Information Technology and Public Policy at Heinz College and Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University, shares key insights from his transformative book, The Abundant University: Remaking Higher Education for a Digital World.

The Abundant University by Michael D. Smith explores how our current higher education system is financially and morally unsustainable due to its exclusivity and inefficiencies. Smith argues that embracing digital technologies in enrollment, instruction, and credentialing can create a more accessible, inclusive, and sustainable model. He challenges institutional resistance to digital learning and highlights how technology can expand educational opportunities, benefiting students, employers, and society.

Prof. Smith holds a PhD in Management Science and Information Technology from MIT’s Sloan School, along with an M.S. in Telecommunications Science and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering (summa cum laude) from the University of Maryland. His research applies economic and statistical methods to analyze firm and consumer behavior in digital markets, with work published in top academic journals and featured in The Harvard Business Review and The Sloan Management Review and press outlets including The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Wired and Business Week. Professor Smith has received several awards for his teaching, research, and writing including the National Science Foundation’s prestigious CAREER Research Award, the 2009 and 2004 Best Teacher Awards in Carnegie Mellon’s Masters of Information Systems Management program, and the 2024 Frandson Award for Literature for The Abundant University.

The Future of Learning: Prof. Michael Smith on Higher Education’s Digital Shift

In this powerful and reflective episode of Older & Bolder, Debbie McCulloch is joined by the remarkable Nancy Oliver-Mackenzie, a lifelong educator, historian, and passionate advocate for social justice.

At 83 years old, Nancy continues to break barriers and share stories that matter. She discusses her deep family roots, tracing her lineage back to slavery in the United States, and how that legacy inspired her to research and preserve Black history in Montreal. Her work culminated in a compelling historical exhibit and earned her recognition across Canada—including her recent honour as the City of Montreal’s Black History Month laureate.

Nancy also recounts her vibrant teaching career, which spanned from a fine arts school in Montreal to an Inuit community in Canada’s North, and even across the globe in Africa. Her storytelling is filled with wisdom, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to equity and truth.

From hosting workshops on anti-racism for clergy to reflecting on the day Nelson Mandela visited her community church, Nancy’s insights are a powerful reminder of how one person’s dedication can create ripples of understanding and change.

This conversation will leave you thinking, feeling, and inspired to contribute to the communities you care about—at any age.

The EMBA advantage: familiar fields, deeper insights - with Zaher Charaf

When Tugay joined the GEMBA programme at RSM, he expected to sharpen his business skills, and he has. But what he didn’t anticipate was the depth of personal growth the experience would demand.

When discussing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, Tugay speaks candidly about his personal connection to SDG #1 – No Poverty:
“I was born and raised in the Netherlands, and that makes me privileged. But my ancestors weren’t. One grandfather was from Italy, the other from Turkey, and both grew up in poverty. I carry their legacy with me. I have a deep desire to break the cycle and help build a world where everyone has a fair chance at a better life.”

This was just one of many powerful reflections Tugay shares - including his belief in leading by creating a safe environment.

Episode 1: Lauren Zamora

In this episode, I sit down with Santa Fe entrepreneur and creative strategist David Lamb. From his family’s 150-year-old timber business in the Pacific Northwest to his work supporting Navajo weavers in New Mexico, David has spent a lifetime asking one essential question: How can we succeed in business without losing our soul?

David’s answer comes down to three deceptively simple words—Have Fun. Make Money. Do Right. Together, we explore how those principles have shaped his leadership, his philanthropy, and his sense of identity as a “Western man.” David shares stories of rebuilding after bankruptcy, of learning humility through humor, and of finding clarity by listening to what he calls the voice of the organization.

We also talk about creativity, community, and the hidden business acumen of Navajo grandmothers who run their weaving enterprises from sheep to finished rug. David reveals why he believes laughter is the foundation of resilience, why solvency is an act of stewardship, and why doing right—whether in commerce or art—is the truest measure of wealth.

This conversation is both practical and philosophical, rooted in the belief that joy, prosperity, and integrity are not separate goals but parts of a single practice.

Provocative Conversations from Twice 5 Miles Radio is a podcast devoted to candid, often surprising exchanges with artists, thinkers, and cultural instigators who speak from the core. Each episode dives beneath the surface to explore the stories and questions that shape our lives.

I’m James Navé—poet, storyteller, educator, and longtime creative collaborator. With an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and decades of teaching experience across the globe, I help writers and performers tap into their authentic voices through public speaking, creative writing, and the Imaginative Storm method, which I co-developed with Allegra Huston.

My most recent book, 100 Days: A Poetic Memoir After Cancer (3: A Taos Press), documents a hundred days of healing and poetic reckoning. I’m also co-author of Write What You Don’t Know and How to Read for an Audience—practical guides for anyone seeking to speak and write with more truth and power.

I’ve directed festivals, hosted literary salons, taught with Julia Cameron, and memorized over 600 poems. I still believe in the power of a well-told story, the light through stained glass, and the open road with nothing but a podcast and a windshield full of stars.
