A New Professor's Journey: Creating My Platform, with Danielle Callegari
Manage episode 315832871 series 2522727
Episode Summary:
Italy. Food. Artisans. Culture. That is the life Professor Danielle Callegari is immersed in, and when you hear about it you’ll probably say, why didn’t I think of it! Except then you’ll need to spend years writing a book on Dante, then start the next book, cloistered in Italian libraries with no air conditioning during Roman summer. Danielle’s story is a story of the professor building a career, a brand, and a platform, an inside look at what it really takes to make it in academia.
Sydney Finkelstein
Syd Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He holds a Master’s degree from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from Columbia University. Professor Finkelstein has published 25 books and 90 articles, including the bestsellers Why Smart Executives Fail and Superbosses: How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent, which LinkedIn Chairman Reid Hoffman calls the “leadership guide for the Networked Age.” He is also a Fellow of the Academy of Management, a consultant and speaker to leading companies around the world, and a top 25 on the Global Thinkers 50 list of top management gurus. Professor Finkelstein’s research and consulting work often relies on in-depth and personal interviews with hundreds of people, an experience that led him to create and host his own podcast, The Sydcast, to uncover and share the stories of all sorts of fascinating people in business, sports, entertainment, politics, academia, and everyday life.

Quotes from the Show:
- “Many people probably don’t understand that if you’re not publishing as a professor you’re not standing up in front of the class as a teacher very long, and whether that’s books or articles or mix of the two”- Sydney Finkelstein in “The Sydcast” [11:35]
- “Everyone must eat, it’s just perfectly universal, there is not time or place where humans haven’t had a relationship with food, and as a result of that, [food] becomes the ultimate point of reference” - Danielle Callegari in “The Sydcast” [31:44]
- “[About Danielle’s experience on libraries] I’ve found things I didn’t know existed and that no one knew existed that fit into my research in a very special way and that’s a kind of Indiana Jones moment”- Danielle Callegari in “The Sydcast” [46:54]
- “[About her teaching method] Talking about things like social order, soft power, economic viability, so it's the place where we start and we outline all the ways in which food culture becomes something that communicates much more than what is apparently on the surface”- Danielle Callegari in “The Sydcast” [56:08]
- “To me universities that continue to offer standard learning just in the classroom without a strong experiential component are living on borrowed time”- Sydney Finkelstein in “The Sydcast” [01:01:55]
