I left consulting to begin teaching at Dartmouth right before the release of ChatGPT. Disruption is always messy—and there's always a twist Original
In July 2022, I made a career pivot from consulting to teaching. Beyond being intrinsically interesting and rewarding, I thought teaching would provide a respite after almost two decades of daily hand-to-hand combat with problems, clients, and, occasionally, colleagues. Then, in November 2022, OpenAI introduced the first version of ChatGPT. It quickly became clear that artificial intelligence (AI) could radically reshape my new industry, my old one, and many others.

A Master Barber Reflects on Creating a 'Culture of Care'
I started my barbering journey in 1999, shortly after returning from U.S. Army training. At first, I was set to work on heavy equipment — but something inside told me my true path was elsewhere. I didn’t just want to build things with my hands — I wanted to help build people. That decision led me to the barber chair, and I’ve never looked back. Today, I’m a Master Barber, educator, and owner of the Scott Anthony Barber Academy.
