  • JoJo Thirasilpa Pushes His Learning To The Edges Of Land, Sea, And Sky

    JoJo Thirasilpa Pushes His Learning To The Edges Of Land, Sea, And Sky
    Aug 11 2026
    Like many people who pursue a liberal arts education, Jojo Thirasilpa has been drawn to learning and acquiring new knowledge and skills his entire life. Where and how he acquires knowledge and skill is rather unique, however. When not working in finance from his home in the United Kingdom, Jojo competes in Ironmans, has crossed the Sahara in arguably the most challenging footrace in the world, the Marathon des Sables, trained as a scuba instructor, and recently earned his pilot’s license. That means he seeks knowledge in places where many of us would find discomfort. Jojo reflects on how exploration, discipline, and endurance have shaped his entire life, and why pushing his physical, mental, and emotional limits through endurance sports has become a most unexpected classroom.

    Tarleton Gillespie Transformed A Passion For Pop Culture Into His Life’s Work
    Aug 3 2026
    Tarleton Gillespie is a leading voice in how technology and culture shape each other.

The honors thesis on Beavis and Butt‑Head and The Simpsons that the English department initially rejected. Tarleton shares how that early instinct to take pop culture seriously carried him into graduate school, studying intellectual property rights in the Napster era, a long run teaching at Cornell, and more than a decade at Microsoft Research. He proves it absolutely is possible to make a childhood fascination the foundation of a rewarding career.
