A reading of the first two chapters of my novel "Hire Lernin'

My first novel is a fictionalized version of my experience in my first academic posting as academic dean of a proprietary, for-profit business school as an idealistic, newly minted lawyer who knew next to nothing about the industry. The book is fiction, though largely based on actual events and situations with names and locations altered and minor dramatic license taken for the sake of the narrative. In this podcast, I read the first two chapters about the beginning of a Quixotic quest that will take the protagonist on a journey to unimagined highs and life-altering lows not unlike those experienced by the author on the way to learning vital truths about himself, about for-profit education, about leadership and for the protagonist at least, about love.

Hire Lernin': An Idealist's Quest through the Realm of for-Profit Education is available in hard and soft cover editions as well as eBook editions from all major booksellers.
