Professor Jonathan Miles","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":2508,"description":"Professor Jonathan Miles’ path to teaching organizational behavior at Rice Business is anything but conventional. Before entering academia, he earned a degree in computer science, worked in IT and even launched a comic book store — experiences that shaped his perspective on leadership, influence and human behavior.Today, Miles is known for challenging students to think differently about power, workplace dynamics and ethical decision-making. A co-adviser at the Virani Undergraduate School of Business and voted “Teacher of the Year” by our undergraduate business students, he has built courses that push both MBAs and undergraduates to confront uncomfortable truths about what it really takes to lead and succeed.In this episode, Miles joins host Maya Pomroy ‘22 to discuss why so many talented people struggle to advocate for themselves, what his comic book store taught him about entrepreneurship, and why influence is often misunderstood. He also shares his perspective on AI’s growing impact on the workplace, the future of Rice Business and his hope for bringing undergrads and graduate students together in ways no business school has done before.Episode Guide:0:00  Introduction & Teacher of the Year Award2:29  Growing Up: Family, Influences, and Early Life4:40  The Winding Path: Journalism to Engineering to Computer Science7:40  The Value of Exploring Outside Your Major9:57  From IT to Teaching: Discovering a Calling15:56  Teaching Power & Influence at Rice17:55  The Biggest Misconception About Influence at Work22:15  Professionalism & Ethics: Why People Break Their Own Moral Frameworks25:04  AI in the Workplace: Hype, Risk, and the Road Ahead30:19  What Jon Hopes Students Take Away32:27  The Comic Book Store: Lessons in Entrepreneurship37:46  The Future of Rice Business & the New Building40:50  Closing and ConclusionThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Why hard work alone won’t get you...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/TJ_bP9v1zp60qvMRjx8jTuTiOVRFDdgjR-9C4xy2Tmg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE1ODMyLzE2MDM5/OTczNzQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
