Welcome to The Main Thing. This is your new 9-minute podcast. I’m your host Skip Lineberg. I’ve set out to interview the wisest people I know. We will see what we can learn from each one when they are faced with an incredibly difficult, soul-piercing question.

My guest today is Dr. Jack Byrd, an accomplished, distinguished professor of industrial engineering at West Virginia University. Dr. Byrd is also founder of the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies and Development in Morgantown, WV. Jack has consulted with hundreds of private companies, start-ups and other organizations. Additionally, his program has produced 150 senior corporate leaders, whom he has advised and mentored. Jack is an educator, an innovator and a mentor to me. And he’s one of the wisest people I know.

In this new episode you’ll find out what makes Dr. Jack Byrd so wise. You’ll also learn what unique morsel of wisdom he has chosen to share with us.
