Welcome to The Unconventional Path: Entrepreneurship and Innovation Stories and Ideas. Today we are doing something a bit different.  As our long time listeners know, Mike and I like to change things up once in a while.

Today, Mike and I interview Chris Kubisiak.  Chris is an organizational psychologist and avid sailor.

We interviewed him for the sailing podcast Mike and I do.  We discussed how psychology and human behavior plays a large role in sailing.  Many aspects of our conversation also apply to business and leadership.  So, we decided to broadcast the episode on the Unconventional Path podcast.




You can reach Chris at CKYachting@gmail.com

We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.

So please give the episode a listen!

Before Mike I record the intros to the podcast, we usually start chatting about something we are both interested in. On this occasion, I decided to hit the record button during our conversation.  As usual, we had a great conversation and we decided to turn it into an episode. 

Here is a summary of what we discussed:


What’s going on with Bela and Mike.


Mike comes back to Michigan for a visit.  Some culture shock.


Bela’s summer job working for a small commuter airline.


The challenges of air travel


Mike’s teaching at University of Muenster


College education in Germany and the USA


A little political comment.



We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.

In this episode of the podcast, Bela Musits interviews David Kruczlincki, the retired CEO of a large community hospital.  Bela and David discuss decision-making with limited information, culture, and the complexities of leading an organization in a highly regulated environment. This is one of our short video series podcasts where I converse with C-level business leaders about building great organizations. These interviews were originally taped several years ago when I was Dean of the Business School at Union Graduate College. I believe they deserve to be re-edited and presented to a broader audience. So, here is one of them. More to follow.

Hope you enjoy our conversation
