John Lim

Bus '13 (MBA)

John Lim, consultant, entrepreneur, and author, first took several online Odyssey courses himself, then learned through an alumni email that he could teach, too. His course is a step-by-step blueprint on how to write and publish your own book. "Several students have contacted me to tell me how excited they are to start or finish their book because of the course. That's extremely gratifying," he says.
