In this episode we had the chance to bring in Omar Youssef, Fast track MBA student to our conversation about our unspoken brand. This is most likely the first time students have started to think of the brand/impression others have on what they are presenting. Our unspoken brand is out there in the world for people to see. If we can start to focus our efforts on what others are seeing we get to lean in and craft/live the best versions of ourselves. We cannot wait to share this great conversation with

Talking with dual-degree MBA student Harish Babu about the realities of not being able to “Hulk” your way through the MBA (and life in general) as it relates to time, energy, and boundary management. There’s rarely enough time in the day to tackle everything in front of us - so how do we know what to strategically neglect, what our own priorities should be, try and ignore FOMO, and ensure we keep our boundaries fortified (think little boundary secret service people), all in the name of managing our

Talking with 2nd year MBA student Harman Kaur as she bravely describes this last summer that didn’t go exactly as she had planned. There can be a lot of pressure in an MBA to secure a business internship, but as in life, things don’t always go as expected. And it’s up to us to lean into the unexpected to still create valuable learning and growth opportunities. And that’s exactly what Harman did.
