The idea of opening a bakery started with Ross, but the pieces did not fall into place until Professor of Accounting Germain Böer intro - duced her to Beckner, a fellow Vanderbilt alumna who was working in finance and cater - ing on the side. Ross and Beckner clicked, and their business plan came together quickly: They opened FiddleCakes just five months after their initial meeting. “Coming from an HOP [human and orga - nizational performance] background at Owen, I knew one of the toughest things would be building a team,” says Ross, who previously worked for a startup software company. “Fortu - nately we found that we share the same vision.” An important part of that vision is provid - ing customers with tasty vegan and gluten- free meals. Demand for the latter has grown in recent years as more doctors prescribe restricted diets for those suffering from condi - tions like autism and celiac disease, the autoimmune disorder caused by gluten pro - teins in certain grains. Forgoing eggs and traditional flour makes Ross and Beckner’s task of operating their bak - ery all the more challenging. “The recipes are much more temperamental than they would be otherwise,” Beckner explains. “Sometimes the mixes don’t rise, and you have to start over again.” The challenge, though, as they see it, is well worth the effort. “It makes all the difference when, for exam - Tasha Ross (left) and Lindsay ple, a parent whose child suffers from celiac Beckner offer a variety of disease thanks you personally,” Ross says. vegan and gluten-free baked J O H goods at FiddleCakes. “Running a successful business is rewarding, N R U but having a social impact on top of that is S S E L even better.” L 2 F ALL 2010 V ANDERBILT B USINESS 3 FROM THE DEAN Friends and colleagues, nspiration comes in many forms and often from unexpected sources. As business leaders we plan, Ibudget and dream, yet we often don’t find the needed spark in the incremental day-to-day events of life. As Seth points out in his editor’s memo on the opposite page, sometimes it takes a calamity like the flood that devastated Nashville in early May to make us see things differently. Crisis can often be the driver of change, and in such change we frequently find inspiration. In the early days of my management career, a mentor of mine named R.D. Hubbard offered this advice: “Never waste a crisis.” What he meant was that a crisis can inspire us to go in new directions and to think of the world in what Charles Handy in The Age of Unreason calls an “upside-down way.” In many regards we’re witnessing today the dis - continuous change that Handy predicted. It is a J O H time of irrational markets, deflation, unsettling yield N R U curves, overpriced tech deals and talk of the Hin - S S E L denburg Omen. Yet amid all of this uncertainty, L there is opportunity. At a recent gathering for an advisory group composed of faculty, Alumni Board members, Board of Visitors members, staff and friends, I found inspiration in their longer vision for how to propel the school forward. They suggested that we in the Owen community should “think longer, think bigger, think of the tipping point.” In the coming months I hope you will seek similar inspiration in a plan for the future— to act, to engage and to make a difference for Owen.

It's a personal story not just about one man's passion for his profession and his time executing it in the jet but also about the nuts-and-bolts of often misunderstood anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare; what it took to keep Soviet submarines at bay during the twilight years of the Cold War; and on more contemporary issues surrounding the critical art of hunting enemy submarines. It also comes to us from one of The War Zone community's favorite people -- Kevin Noonan, better known as 'Ancient Sub Hunter' in our commenting section and on his colorful Twitter feed.
