The Detour: Signal Through the Noise

How leaders separate facts from assumptions and make sound decisions under pressure. As a leader you make hundreds of decisions a day. Some are routine, but others carry significant weight. The challenge isn't simply having a lot to decide. It's that every decision is filtered through your own thoughts, assumptions, and interpretations, often without you realizing it.  Navigating the volume of work as well as the high pressure that comes with it, it's easy to react to the story your mind has created rather than the facts in front of you. That's why The Detour has invited Vicki Smith, founder of Self Led CEO, to facilitate an honest conversation about what it takes to stretch beyond your comfort zone and keep moving anyway. Vicki is a licensed counselor and coach based in Atlanta who works with entrepreneurs and high achievers, helping them build the inner stability and resilience needed to lead sustainable, fulfilling work. She draws on mindfulness, somatic practice, and her own experience as a founder to… University Event Topic: Innovation & Entrepreneurship.

The Detour: Test It First

What if you could find out whether your idea actually resonates with your audience, but BEFORE you build it? Every founder has a theory about what their customers want. The question is how quickly and cheaply you can test whether that theory holds. Vibe coding (using AI tools to spin up a working prototype or lightweight experience in hours instead of weeks) is changing what's possible. But the value isn't the technology. The value is getting real signal from real people, fast.   This rapid change is why The Detour has asked Dr. David Schweidel, Goizueta Chair of Business Technology and Professor of Marketing at Emory University's Goizueta Business School, to guide us through building something we can actually put in front of an audience. David is a leading expert in customer analytics, social media, and the intersection of marketing and technology. His research on customer behavior and digital engagement has appeared in the top journals in the field, including the Journal of Marketing and Marketing Science… University Event Topic: Innovation & Entrepreneurship.
