My MBA Taught Me

After speaking with so many MBA graduates from all over the world, I go into what have been the highlights, and the lessons that I learned from them.I also take the opportunity to detail the journey so far from inception, the challenges with the launch to now, and the plans for the future.#mymbataughtme #mba #podcast #businessschool #business On Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts & SpotifyWays to get in touch:Website: https://www.mymbataughtme.com/Email: mymbataughtme@gmail.comLinkedInFacebookInstagramIntro music: Staccato - Vibe Tracks (YouTube Audio Library)Interlude music: Blurry Vision - Corbyn Kites & Deliberate Thought - Kevin MacLeod (both YouTube Audio Library)Outro music: Escape - Liqwyd (https://www.free-stock-music.com/)

Brinda Gupta graduated from Olin Business School at Washington University in St Louis. I loved how we seemed to discuss almost anything, from our favourite podcasts, living in the midwest, to what her TedX talk would be about if she hosted one. The main thing we talk about though is diversity, equity and inclusion, and specifically The Consortium program (founded at Washington University) that connects a number of business schools together, with a focus on addressing DE&I issues.#washingtonuniversity #stlouis #olin #olinbusinessschool #mymbataughtme #mba #graduate #business #businessschool #podcast #diversityequityandinclusion #theconsortiumOn Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts & SpotifyWays to get in touch:Website: https://www.mymbataughtme.com/Email: mymbataughtme@gmail.comLinkedInFacebookInstagramIntro music: Staccato - Vibe Tracks (YouTube Audio Library)Outro music: Escape - Liqwyd (https://www.free-stock-music.com/)

No two business schools are made equal, so the graduates that come from them are also different. Jennifer Dingley graduated from Manchester Business School with that understanding after experiencing both the case-study method, and applying the skills directly to consulting projects and being assessed through group work. Which one was better?

Claire Meyer was amazing to talk to, and an incredibly positive advocate for Bocconi University. She definitely made the most of her MBA experience there, and somehow managed to travel to 15 different countries during that time. But it's not all fun and games: we talk about imposter syndrome and how important "fit" is, whether it's your job or the business school you're applying to.#bocconi #italy #bocconischoolofmanagement #mymbataughtme #mba #graduate #business #businessschool #podcast On Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts & Spotify (search for "My MBA Taught Me")Ways to get in touch:Website: https://www.mymbataughtme.com/Email: mymbataughtme@gmail.comLinkedInFacebookInstagramIntro music: Staccato - Vibe Tracks (YouTube Audio Library)Outro music: Escape - Liqwyd (https://www.free-stock-music.com/)

Patrick Harris did one of the smartest things one can do if one wants to understand how to do business in China: he did his MBA at China Europe International Business School (CEIBS). Now graduated and working in the US, he shares with us how he negotiated the culture differences and how he rates his MBA experience.#ceibs #mymbataughtme #mba #graduate #business #businessschool #podcast On Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts & Spotify (search for "My MBA Taught Me")Ways to get in touch:Website: https://www.mymbataughtme.com/Email: mymbataughtme@gmail.comLinkedInFacebookInstagramIntro music: Staccato - Vibe Tracks (YouTube Audio Library)Outro music: Escape - Liqwyd (https://www.free-stock-music.com/)

Guests on the podcast have often emphasised how challenging an MBA is. Now imagine doing one whilst working full time, and needing to travel overseas six times during the program. Payal Lohia completed one of the more unique MBA programs, with UCLA Anderson and the National University of Singapore joining forces for a truly global MBA program.  #ucla #uclaanderson #nus #nationaluniversityofsingapore #mba #mymba #mymbataughtme #business #businessschool #podcastOn Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts & Spotify (search for "My MBA Taught Me")Ways to get in touch:Website: https://www.mymbataughtme.com/Email: mymbataughtme@gmail.comLinkedInFacebookInstagramIntro music: Staccato - Vibe Tracks (YouTube Audio Library)Outro music: Escape - Liqwyd (https://www.free-stock-music.com/)

Inigo Flores started thinking about doing his MBA back in 2005 when he was based in Argentina. He recently graduated earlier this year from Melbourne Business School, but his last few subjects were taken at UTDT back in his home country. He shares his journey that proves that the course doesn't have to be a sprint to get over and done with: it's a continuous journey of self development and improvement.#utdt #mbs #torcuatoditella #melbournebusinessschool #business #businessschool #australia #argentina #mba #graduate #mymba #mymbataughtme #podcastOn Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts & Spotify (search for "My MBA Taught Me")Ways to get in touch:Website: https://www.mymbataughtme.com/Email: mymbataughtme@gmail.comLinkedInFacebookInstagramIntro music: Staccato - Vibe Tracks (YouTube Audio Library)Outro music: Escape - Liqwyd (https://www.free-stock-music.com/)

In this episode we continue our conversation with Triston Francis, recent graduate from Harvard Business School. He shares with us the life lessons he learnt whilst at Harvard, how he separated McKinsey, BCG and Bain & Co to work out which company he wanted to work for, and what things HBS can actually improve on.A reminder that Triston himself offers a series of webinars and advice on his website: tristonfrancis.com. He has one coming up on Navigating Imposter Syndrome/Self Doubt to Reach Your Full Potential, which I feel like listeners to this podcast would be interested about.#harvardbusinessschool #hbs #harvard #businessschool #mba #graduate #podcast #businessOn Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts & Spotifyhttps://www.mymbataughtme.com/Email us at mymbataughtme@gmail.comLinkedInFacebookInstagramIntro music: Staccato - Vibe Tracks (from YouTube Audio Library)Outro music: Escape - Liqwyd (from https://www.free-stock-music.com/) 

Like many others I wondered what it's like to study at Harvard Business School. So I sought to find out, and found someone who has an extraordinary story to go along with it. Triston Francis came from incredibly humble beginnings to get to where he is now, and he takes us along for the ride as he shares his story. Triston hosts a number of virtual events on his website, offering advice on everything from management consulting, to enrolling in MBA programs, to self help topics like overcoming self-doubt.

In this episode, we're going to Melbourne Business School. I took a few subjects with my friend and next guest on the podcast, Rahul Khatri, so I thought I knew what his thoughts were on the MBA and the school. But we went a lot deeper: we talk about the benefits of doing an MBA part-time, debate on whether schools offer enough subjects to support people with their own small businesses, and whether it's worth doing an MBA in the first place!  #mbs #melbournebusinessschool #mymbataughtme #mba #mymba #business #businessschool #podcast #parttimemba  If you'd like to share your MBA journey, or you have suggestions for how to improve the podcast, send us an email at mymbataughtme@gmail.com, or visit our website: https://www.mymbataughtme.com/ Available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify, just search for "My MBA Taught Me" Support the podcast:LinkedInFacebookInstagram Intro music: Staccato - Vibe Tracks (YouTube Audio Library)Outro music: Escape - Liqwyd (https://www.free-stock-music.com/)
