MBA-P, Quiet Radicals, 2 great podcasts, and NotebookLM

Started part-time ‘MBA for Professionals’ program in January 2026 in Portland OR at satellite location.  My brain is stimulated!  Not 100% sure what to do with all the info yet, but I did Vision Board with VisionBloom workshop and Sneaky Pickle was born. Currently Sneaky Pickle is 'on hold' as passion project, first need to network with VC's / Incubators / Founders and get to know folks.


In my Organization Management class, we read Radical Change, the Quiet Way - by Meyerson.  I submitted an extended paper to rant about the misuse of the word radical, but that if we swap the word with revolutionary I was ok with it, and the 4 tools covered are excellent & I hope to use them all: disruptive self-expression, verbal jujitsu, variable-term opportunism, and strategic alliance building.


Random 'quiet radical' (aka Stealthy Revolutionary) disruptive self-expression update -


We mentioned using NotebookLM (mobile app) for listening to school weekly reading materials. NotebookLM pretty amazing AI tech. I'm no expert, but I did tutorial videos & it can generate interesting material off the source code you give it. Free version offers a lot.

For non-school stuff, you can upload PDF's to a notebook & it becomes 'subject matter expert' on that content, so good for rules & regulations, manuals for all your home tech (good to incl SN's and warranties), etc.

**BEWARE - Don't give NotebookLM 'internal only' work docs or you could be breaking a work NDA / security policy.**


Also really glad to have heard about 9Pfeffer on Power podcasts and book(s).   Podcast episodes are short (20 mins each) and straightforward.  Some are more on professionalism and networking than 'power' per se, but they all hover around the subject.
