Own The Spotlight is a podcast where authors take center stage to present their work — in their own words and without an interviewer. Each episode features a solo monologue in which the author introduces themselves, shares what inspired their latest book or article, and reflects on the journey behind the writing. You'll hear candid insights about their intended audience, the creative process, surprises along the way, and what they hope readers will take away from their work. Whether you're a curious reader, fellow writer, or publishing enthusiast, Own The Spotlight offers a rare, candid look at authorship — and plants the seeds for your next literary exploration.

20. Q&A session with Professor Clayton M. Christensen

Sep 6, 2016

We've built this podcast on top of the ideas taught in Professor Clayton M. Christensen's signature course at the Harvard Business School, Building and Sustaining a Successful Enterprise (BSSE). This episode opens with Professor Christensen talking about the purpose of the BSSE course, and then transitions into a Q&A session with a group of alumni of the course, ranging from recent graduates to alumni who left HBS fifteen years ago. Topics include making predictions about the future of the electric car, how to handle acquisitions, how to think about being disrupted -- even when you are the disruptor!, using theory to make better decisions in your personal life, and the power of a good theory and common language.
