TEI 198: How product managers can influence the next generation of innovators –

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next
episode of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister,
PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation
and managing products become more successful, grow their careers,
and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode: I have a special
episode for you. I believe that as product managers and innovators,
we have a responsibility to help prepare the next generation of
innovators. I’ve explored this topic in a few past episodes and it
is time to do it again. So, this episode is about encouraging you
and providing you with ideas for helping future innovators. For
this discussion, I traveled to a study room on the campus of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I met with a new
student, 17-year-old Kyle Markland. While being accepted to MIT is
a significant accomplishment itself, what Kyle is known for is his
robotic video tutorials. He is a kid teaching kids. His story is an
inspiration to Everyday Innovators, as we can also encourage an
interest in robotics and other STEM topics, as well as innovation
in general, by sharing our experiences.
