  • Jordan Edelstein Reinvents His Career Whenever The Learning Slows

    Jordan Edelstein Reinvents His Career Whenever The Learning Slows
    Oct 6 2026
    Jordan Edelstein's resume reads like several different careers: video games, blockchain, and now fractional leadership. Curiosity and the confidence to take on something new unites it all. When the learning curve flattens, Jordan knows it's time to look for the next thing to tackle, and he traces that instinct straight back to Amherst. We talk about how he knows when it's time for a change, how he talks his way into jobs in industries he's never worked in, and a senior-year dinner conversation with Dean Ron Rosbottom that solidified his appreciation of the liberal arts, even if it took a couple of years to sink in.

  • Itamar Har-Even Turned A Late Start Into A Remarkable Run

    Itamar Har-Even Turned A Late Start Into A Remarkable Run
    Sep 29 2026
    Itamar Har-Even admits he was a late bloomer, but boy has he had a remarkable run. Like so many of us, he's had a winding path, post-Amherst College. It ran through Hollywood, then film school, the first internet boom, Wall Street, and a company he built and sold to Alibaba founder Jack Ma. Now co-CEO of global investment firm Ion Pacific, he recognizes his success benefited a lot from timing and tailwinds, specifically globalization. We talk about the discipline he learned making films, the enormous value he places on thoughtfulness, toughness, and resilience, why he has grown wary of hiring graduates from elite American schools, and the documentary he longs to make in honor of a classmate and dear friend. You can get in touch with Itamar via LinkedIn.

  • Leo Bernstein Transformed A Layoff Into A Big Bet On Himself

    Leo Bernstein Transformed A Layoff Into A Big Bet On Himself
    Sep 22 2026
    Leo Bernstein arrived at Amherst with a fear of failure that shaped his academic choices and early career. A layoff at the age of 40, however, forced him to reset. He made a big bet on himself, starting a commercial real estate business that invested in properties the market had overlooked or undervalued. He then founded LineSlip, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform born from his frustration with the opaque world of commercial insurance. In the process, he learned to see risk not as something to avoid, but as a necessary ingredient for growth and resilience. We also talk about Networking as a Skill, the workshop he created with our classmate Rob Bernstein to help younger people build stronger professional connections, and the rooftop apiary he built with his son, a project that’s become a surprisingly rich source of metaphor and reflection.
