Jack Byrd is an Emeritus Professor of Industrial Engineering at West Virginia University (WVU). He has been on the engineering faculty at WVU since 1968 and has taught more students at the university than any other professor. Jack also serves as the President of the Interactivity Foundation - which aims to strengthen our democracy through the use of a small-group discussion process to explore diverse perspectives and generate an expanding set of divergent possibilities.Jack cares deeply about the mentorship of current and former students, which certainly comes through in this conversation. The impact he has made on former students is incalculable. He has dedicated the last few years sharing his stories and thoughts around the growth of others - which is where he and I first crossed paths as one of my mentors, Mark Bidgood, was sharing Jack’s newsletters and musings with me. After reading a few - I knew he would be a great guest. Lucky for me and the listeners, he graciously accepted my offer to be on the podcast.
