The guest this episode is Tim Pollock, the Haslam Chair in Business, Distinguished Professor of Entrepreneurship, and Kinney Family Faculty Research Fellow at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville In our conversation today we talk about scandals.  In his most recent work Tim and his co-authors investigate the anatomy of the scandal - asking the simple question: when is a firm’s bad behavior most likely to turn into a scandal? The answer to that question is a fascinating combination of both strategy and luck with insights for executives, employees, investors and other stakeholders. Tim also discusses his recently published book on storytelling in academic writing. He shares some of the most common mistakes that he sees in writing and how anyone can make their writing more interesting.   *Note: Season 1 Finale!  Season 2 coming in the Fall 2023*
