People We Adore: Dr. Susan Clark Muntean

A: I am a business and entrepreneurship professor and co-author of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems: A Gender Perspective 2024 published by Cambridge University Press. I am also a yoga teacher and enthusiast, as well as a mentor, consultant and coach. My mission is to bring truth, joy and wellbeing to those I encounter.

A: Intuition! I am able to see trends and changes in systemic, institutional, and structural phenomena. I ask the right questions, even if they are uncomfortable. For example, I developed and tested an original theory of the firm based upon ownership structure, which traces the rise of politically and ideologically driven founders and founding families, offering insights into our current political moment in the U.S. and its impact on the global economy. This superpower served me by taking me to the London School of Economics and Political Science, for example, and guiding me to sell stock before the market tanked.

A: Yoga - meditation, asana, pranayama, mindfulness, communing with nature. Bhakti is the yoga of devotion, including singing, chanting, and creating expressive art through dance, music, and song. Community heals me, especially collective conscious practices like kirtan, breathwork, and dancing.

A: Heart - Bhakti is the yoga of devotion and of the heart.
