Really excited for this episode. With the huge push of AI happening this year, we brought in Dr. Yiran Su to talk about the intersection of AI and sport management. Our episode focused on academic (teaching + research) and practitioner impact. We talked about ChatGPT, Zoom, and other tech platforms!

We've talked before about collaboration on a research project, but now we want to talk about solo authorship.

Our next episode dives into theory with a new ESMQ article from Erik Lachance, Ashley Thompson, & Jordan Bakhsh. We discussed competing theoretical thoughts, creating new theory in/out of sport, blending theoretical approaches, proposing a new approach, and what it means for doc students/practitioners.

Kicking off our sixth season with an episode on parenting. We follow up on our previous work with Liz Sattler to give insight into parenting, particularly post-pandemic.

Then Dr. Milena Parent took the lead on Montreal! She overviewed transportation from the airport, amenities around the conference, and events happening in Montreal that coincide with NASSM.

We welcome Dr. Chad McEvoy to talk about negotiation, particularly when considering both outside offers and a chance to stay at your current institution. We discussed the need for some institutions to consider an outside offer to re-negotiate with your current employer, salary adjustments, when to go on the market/when not to, application process, getting an offer, next steps, etc.
