Today we are so excited to have with us one of the most caring and competent people I’ve ever met. I was fortunate enough to sit in Dr. John Paul Rollert’s Leadership class while pursuing my masters degree in business management. My classmates from this class and I still keep in touch and everyone is eagerly looking forward to this podcast, as well as part one from last week. 

John Paul Rollert’s teaching is legendary at Harvard. I hope to give you a taste of why he is so respected and appreciated in these two podcast episodes, even though nothing can replace sitting in his actual class. Dr. Rollert is well respected in law, education, business, and ethics, and a quick google search will bring up articles he has written for the New York Times, The Atlantic, the Yale Law Journal, to name a few. Look out for his upcoming book about his experience working on the 2008 Barack Obama Presidential Campaign.  A graduate from Harvard College, he earned his law degree at Yale and his PhD from the University of Chicago. Most of all, to me, he is an inspiring teacher, and I feel fortunate to count myself among the students he has taught both at Harvard and at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. 

In this podcast, which is part two of two, you can hear about his experiences in high school leading up to being accepted to Harvard College, as well as his advice for teenagers today. His advice about finding your values and pursuing ways to make a meaningful impact while in high school rather than chasing trophies is some of the best advice you'll hear around admissions to Harvard and other Ivy League or top-tier universities.
