Hello. Today is the first official episode of Tech in Business. Last week was a little bit of Little bit of a fake first episode just because I actually had to train some people who were shadowing me to learn how to have their own radio shows. But this is the start of something wonderful. Something beautiful is being built. This is the first episode of the Tech in Business weekly radio show. And this week we're going to take it a little bit easy because it's been a rough week work wise. But let's start it out with a new tradition. Let's start the episode with Long Time by Playboi Cartier.

Hello.
Right now I would like to talk about some interesting developments recently. Some things I've been using in my daily life as a student here at Amherst College. I've been using Claude Cowork a lot for my LinkedIn and my resume. It's kind of like Anthropic's imitation of like maybe openclaw. It has a lot of tools that you can connect to plugins or integration with the Google suite or with your. With your Moodle or any type of calendar note taking app. So I've been using it a lot to revamp my LinkedIn and Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 came out recently. So they're honestly a lot better than 4.5. I would highly recommend incorporating something like clawed into maybe some of the more mundane tasks of your life. Highly recommend. But let's get in. Let's get into our next song here. I was gonna play a song I've been listening to a lot recently. I don't even know how to introduce
it, but
hold on. Spotify also recently introduced this new setting that allows you to do mixing between songs. So let's try out one of these weird transitions that I've made. I think you guys know the first song.
We can go wherever we want. The queens, the sand, the soap, the door. You can say whatever you want. One I don't care, I'm already. We could drive a mile down the road to get a drink or two, you know, Simple thing I don't need much to like a fine way and I guess I don't cry. And we're all afraid and shy away. I guess I'm shy. I guess I'm shy. Sam. I guess that I don't cry I guess that I don't shine. Ram.
Sa.
Gets to me like broken but you know you're breaking my heart. Sam. Home the sky fully cross One star at a time united Breaking my heart coming apart calling Qu. Are you giving in? Stop and start. Ram. To talk about things as you do with him. Do you really have to talk about love? Do you really have to talk about the way that you love him? Do you really have to talk that way? Sa. Sam. Did you really have to do those things to me? But I know that I can be the one. You love this in your life. But I know that I can be the one you.
You.
Sa. Hello.
So I've I have an interesting little fact to share or maybe a series of facts for my urban economics class that I'm taking this semester. We were tasked with writing about how the five colleges in the Pioneer Valley came to be and potentially maybe some economic frameworks that could explain why any type of industrial cluster develops. As as you could tell from the name, Urban economics talks a lot about cities and how cities form based on firms understanding that there's of lots lower transaction costs for transportation. Maybe there's labor pooling or specialized assets or knowledge spillovers. But a number of reasons lead to certain industrial clusters forming. Specifically in the US we see places like Silicon Valley, Detroit for automobile industry, New York City for finance, and many more examples. But western Massachusetts is not very obviously similar to any of those for profit industrial clusters. Originally, Amherst was the first college in this region and then offshoots of Amherst faculty or Amherst itself had its hands on the lineage of the other four colleges forming around. I had found out that the UMass president was actually a 15 year chemistry professor at Amherst before bringing a lot of the Amherst institutional low cost education emphasis to what was originally the Massachusetts Agricultural College with a very different purpose but similar industry in terms of higher education to Amherst. But that was born from an Amherst faculty member and then Smith College. The money that developed Smith College was originally going to go to Amherst, but then it was used to create a research institution for women in the area because Amherst was still only open to men. And so Smith, Smith's first president was someone by the last name of Seely and you might find that familiar if you're on campus Seeley Mud or the Seeley Dorm because he was a professor at Amherst and then he became the first president of Smith. And last semester when I took a class math class at the Smith Differential Equations, it was actually held in the Sealy Building on Smith campus. So that was very interesting to find out. Mount Holyoke Mary Lyon was originally going to donate to Amherst and then chose to create Mount Holyoke which was ran by another former Amherst faculty member. And then finally Hampshire was actually created on behalf of something called the New College Plan that was proposed by the four colleges at the time to create a new liberal arts experiment in the area where new teaching strategies could be tried out and piloted without necessarily changing the ethos of the other four colleges in the area Amherst has certain vested interests. The stakeholders of UMass Smith Mount Holyoke had certain interests and reputations to maintain. But being able to approve the funding for this new college Hampshire in the area was huge and it relied a lot upon the pre existing network of the four colleges in order to take cross registration and use the PIVDA and all of that that we see today. But in the end, even though it's in the education industry rather than finance or Silicon Valley with tech or the automobile industry, there are a lot of economic motivations and a long lineage from Amherst faculty that explains why the five colleges formed in the Pioneer Valley of all places in Western Massachusetts with few very obvious cost cutting criteria that's met in such a remote area. But thought that was a very interesting paper and a lot of interesting history that I had learned through that. But let's get into the next song.
Sam. It. I'll make you my lady if you say it down are you down Cuz you making me crazy you all up inside my head don't try to blame me girl this isn't a baby this ain't the 80s trying to get you in my bed I'm joking maybe I could take you out of st I was wondering baby if you come around, you around Can I I'll make you my lady if you say are you down I was wondering baby if you come around you around and I'll make you my lady if you say down are you down Making a way for your love Making a stay in your clutch I don't want to go baby no I can see away from your love in a real if you're taking in I'm mistaken I'm breaking it off you playing games with my heart while I'm stuck here playing guitar I'm sick you making me nauseous My feelings involved if you dealing I'm all in I'm showing my cars I was wondering baby if you come around you around and and I'll make you my lady if you say it down are you down? I was wondering baby if you come around you around and I'll make you my lady if you stay down are you down?
Yo, we have we have something special coming up. We have something really special coming up. Oh no. Everything's falling apart the studio's on fire. Nothing, nothing is savable but at the very end of the day some something shines through the fire fog through the smoke in the midst of when you think it's all over it's actually all just beginning and we're so back. Forget about it. You got to listen to this transition right now for the second time. This show just for Chris tune former wham Royalty.

Soon we will be coming to an end, but for now, grateful to have this platform and we have some wonderful transitions coming your way right now. Expect more to come for this radio show. Today is a little bit informal, but on March 12th we will have Michael Elliot Thursday, March 12th, for an hour exclusive interview talking about the future of higher education. Liberal arts education as artificial intelligence will change everything. So stay tuned, stay tuned, stay tuned for more structured content to come in the future.
Sam.
This next one. This next one's really good. The next couple are really good. Every song on this show is really good. Oh, really good. It's really good, actually. It's really.
