What is this Insead Dream?
The latest activefree podcast (#5) includes live music from Insead students Eylem, Emad, and Colin (and Julian), as well as the first emailed mp3 clips from Insead alumni and NetVestibule creator Yann Lechelle and Gerald (student and basist). Enjoy! See you after my trip to Greece next week.

Vaporware Tutorials and the Lost Sleep Blues
Download activefree podcast #3.
The first full week at Insead was full of classes, dinners, homework (missed), and the new (and confusing) language of finance and accounting. This week's podcast starts off with a short "school" rap written back in 1999 when I was a teacher in Harlem. It also includes a spoken word piece about the week called "tutorial dreams," and then finishes up with an Insead original rap by co-MBA student Christine Driscoll, recorded live last night at the Vieux Moulin dinner party. It also includes "Love and the Electric Symphony" by NYC friend and musician Dien Vo.

From Fort Greene to Moret Sur Loing
Download activefree podcast #2.
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of excitement, anticipation, goodbyes, and introductions. This activefree podcast #2 is the first from my new home, an amazing house called "Le Vieux Moulin" in a river in an old medieval town called Moret Sur Loing in France.
My first week of math class and the welcome week were full of surprises and amazing people (mostly men) from all over the world (except not much from Africa). This podcast includes samples of the last recordings in Brooklyn, the late night songs after most people left the goodbye/thank you party at St. Felix St. It also includes a decent improv song titled the same as one of my pre-reading books for Insead, called "Essential Mathematics for Economics & Business."
Also, much love to all those without homes and without a city in Louisianna, Mississippi, and elsewhere. It's strange to feel so out of touch with a major tragedy in my country. Be well.
