Lizness School Special: Oregon Sports Angels and Shark Tank!
Liz's guest Jim Chi is President of Oregon Sports Angels. This week, two of the company founders that he advises are on Shark Tank. So exciting for these two college seniors with a patent in materials science! Jim can't share the result yet (we had to bleep put him out at one point) but Tanvi and Madhav sent a great audio message describing the behind-the-scenes vibe at the Shark Tank taping. Congratulations to Tanvi Gadamsetti and Madhav Aggarwal of BRCE. More here on LinkedIn. More here on BRCE Shop. WATCH SHARK TANK March 4, 10PM ET on ABC.
On the episode, Jim talks about how after years as a leader in Product Management and Global Sourcing, he had not intended to focus on advising/mentoring/investing in new founders. Liz Dolan is also a founding member of Oregon Sports Angels and shares her perspective on advising young founders. Oregon Sports Angels is the only angel investing organization in the US devoted exclusively to sports.
For HOMEWORK, Jim recommends Edge: Turning Adversity into Advantage by Laura Huang.

Lizness School Special: Liz's Faculty Advisor Roberta Katz Explains Gen Z
Today's guest is Roberta Katz, Liz's faculty advisor at Stanford last year. Roberta is so fun to talk to. She's a senior research scholar at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford and a PhD Anthropologist. She is the author of the book Gen Z, Explained, a project she describes to Liz as a "second glass of wine idea." Roberta also holds as a law degree, and was previously the General Counsel of McCaw Cellular Corporation (now AT&T Wireless) and then of Netscape Corporation. From 2004 to 2017, she served under Stanford University Presidents John Hennessy and Marc Tessier-Lavigne as the Associate Vice president for Strategic Planning at Stanford.

Intergenerational anthropological field work recommended by Leah!
Talk to a Gen Z or Millennial in your life, ask them what’s going on and how they feel about it. Tell them about the upheavals that you remember from growing up and how you felt and how you processed.
Find an activity that occurs on a semi-regular basis that you can join, like a book club or art class or whatever, that puts you around folks of all ages.
If you are new to Lizness School, we suggest you listen to Season 1 to hear all about Liz's year as a Stanford Fellow. Everything from Neuroscience and Chinese History to Pickleball! Plus a great community experience with her fellow DCI Fellows.

Published 2 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] So Leah, I know you have a question here. What did you want to ask Corey? This is in the spirit of intergenerational exchange, because I also love the craft of art. I know there's a lot of young people, especially millennials and Gen Zs, who feel like they need to be artists. They want to be screenwriters. They want to be novelists. They want to be creators. But there's so much pressure that comes with making a livelihood off of your passion. What advice do you have to those people who are thinking, well, you know, it doesn't really count unless I'm doing it for real, professionally? Yeah.
