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.

62. COVID-19 and the Educator's Dilemma: A Conversation with Michael Horn

Sep 29, 2020

This week, as the New York City public schools scramble to re-open and students across the country settle into routines that are anything but routine, we checked in with Michael Horn to hear his views on the state of education amidst the pandemic. Michael is a widely published researcher, strategist, and innovator who co-founded The Clayton Christensen Institute and currently serves as Senior Strategist at Guild Education. Hosted by Christopher Diak, Program Assistant at The Forum and an M.Div. candidate at Harvard Divinity School, Michael discusses the acceleration of disruption under the pandemic, the "educator's dilemma" of business model innovation with competing value propositions, and the ways he personally is adapting to the pandemic using a learning pod approach, among several other timely topics.
