About Us

10GoodMinutes is a new podcast created at Cornell University, in response to the demand by students for short, important, audio content addressing career development. Being on a college campus, we hear firsthand about the challenges students are facing in the current economy. Our goal is to inform and educate our listeners on issues relating to career management.

10GoodMinutes was created in collaboration with the Cornell eClips team. eClips is the largest online collection of digital videos focused on business and entrepreneurship.

Romi Kher
Romi is the host and self-proclaimed “talent” of the show. He is also a member of the eClips team, conducting video interviews for the collection. Another role Romi plays on the eClips team is to provide leadership on critical issues, although no one has really figured out what these critical issues are. Somewhere along the way, Romi managed to grab a Bachelor’s degree is Hospitality Management and an MBA, both from The University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He is currently a PhD student in the department of Applied Economics & Management at Cornell University, with a focus on researching small business development and entrepreneurship.

Rachel Gordon
Rachel is the producer and content manager for 10GM. One of her primary roles in this position is to keep Romi and his wild ideas in check, but she also finds time to manage the online media and marketing channels for eClips, and spend time in the Entrepreneurship@Cornell office taking on crazy projects. Rachel is a 2008 graduate of the Food Science Department at Cornell University, and still visits the food science building to nap on the lobby couches and participate in taste tests. One of her recent accomplishments is reaching the expert level in Guitar Hero. Rachel left 10GM in the summer of 2009 to attend law school in Washington, DC.

Meghan Brown
Meghan is a sophomore at Cornell University studying Applied Economics and Management, and she is the newest member of the 10GM team. With Rachel off to law school, Meghan is now in charge of updating the 10GM website and assisting with marketing outreach for the eClips team. Meghan won the nationwide 10GM talent search for an outstanding baker with an interest in media management. Her outstanding brownies and her willingness to be made fun of by Romi made her the #1 choice for the job. Meghan has a twin sister, but she insists that she is “the smarter one” with a great personality. This claim is still under investigation.

Media Lab
In addition to Romi and Rachel, 10GoodMinutes relies on Manuel Lora and Jamie Kalousdian to keep things running smoothly. Manuel is the official photographer for 10GM, and he and Jamie are the 10GM tech gurus. In addition to their technical roles, they assist Rachel in keeping Romi in line and make the 10GoodMinutes production process run smoothly.
