Every business student who has marched through Indiana University since 1967 knows K201, the legendary Computers in Business course. But the era of simple software shortcuts is officially over. Brant Moriarity, Director of the course at the Kelley School of Business, joins Tom to break down the massive, structural evolution of higher ed technology and analytics education.

Brant shares the reality of teaching a course to 2,300 freshmen every semester in a world completely altered by the shift to AI. We explore Kelley's new pedagogical framework called Build, Adapt, Defend. This system is designed to force entry-level students out of passive button-pushing and into live-fire problem solving. Brant also dismantles common misconceptions about Gen Z tech literacy, noting that while they are born with mobile devices in hand, basic enterprise file organization and system troubleshooting remain an active learning curve.

From navigating administrative red tape across nine separate college campuses to a hilariously diverse musical history that spans Marilyn Manson and underground West Coast hip-hop, this episode offers a direct window into how the next generation of business leaders is being trained to handle data, disruption, and data-backed human judgment.
