In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. We are seeing several top MBA programs continuing to release interview invites for Round 2. Harvard released all their Round 2 interview invites last week. Imperial Business School is scheduled to do the same during this upcoming week. We then discussed our new interview prep tool,  Clear Admit's MBA Interview simulator.  This simulator is designed to offer a realistic interview experience for the majority of the top MBA programs, and provide detailed feedback. It is trained on Clear Admit's extensive catalogue of interview resources including our interview archive and interview guides. Graham highlighted MBA webinar events that are on the horizon that Clear Admit is hosting. The first webinar series of events is for deferred admissions candidates who are currently completing their first degrees. These are scheduled for the next two Wednesdays. The second series is for MiM programs and are scheduled for February 24 and 25. Signups for both these series are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events Graham then highlighted the recent roll out of the 2026 US News rankings for online MBA programs. Indiana /  Kelley continues to lead the way. Graham then noted the announcement from Georgetown / McDonough regarding their shortened MBA program for those who have completed a Masters in Management program. Graham addressed two recently published MBA admissions tips that focus on the interview experience. The first focuses on the five most common MBA admissions interview questions and the second explores some of the more unique b-school interview offerings. Graham then noted a Fridays from the Frontlines piece focused on a student at Duke / Fuqua studying the intersection of climate risk and business. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: This week's first MBA admissions candidate has a 3.87 GPA and works at MBB, and they plan to return - as they are sponsored. They have a 327 GRE score and appear to be a very decent candidate. This week's second MBA applicant has a lower GPA of 3.38, but they had to work through university. We think they should target a few more M7 MBA programs. This week's final MBA candidate is deciding between a full-ride at Florida / Warrington and a $70k offer from CMU / Tepper. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.

This episode features my conversation with Chicago-based marketer, award-winning writer, and wine culture expert, Chasity Cooper. She recently attended Riesling Camp in the Finger Lakes region of New York with some good friends from the Atlanta wine industry, and I was excited to learn more about how she has nurtured her voice for communicating about wine. As a wine professional, she says she strives to make wine more accessible and relatable through storytelling, education, and unique tasting experiences. In 2024, Chasity was named a 2024 Wine Enthusiast Future 40 Tastemaker and currently serves on the board of directors for Batonnage Forum and The Veraison Project. We talk about how she navigates her wine-related experiences in a way that allows her to welcome more people into conversations about wine. We also talk about the book that she published last year that is dedicated to sparking wine conversations and encouraging communication about wine. Given her unique skillset and variety of wine travels, we also dive into why the culture of wine is so important to her and how her own life continuously intersects with wine.

Life moves with no control; who do you trust?  What do you allow?In today's episode Stephanie {Steph} Strauss shares her story of trusting her Self and the universe as life and her own journey continue to unfold.  From being a cigarette smoking restaurant manager, to a yoga/wellness/meditation/trauma-informed group facilitator, Steph is proof that you are never defined by any one part of your life.  She also shares tales of traveling the world to meet friends who she met only through social media, proving yet again that there's so much more to so much that meets the eye. Steph is a Chicago-Based, Trauma-Informed Embodied Movement, Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation Facilitator and creator of The RSI Method.  RSI is a practice of putting “the body first” so you can learn to release stored emotions from your body through embodied movement, vocal activation and breathwork.  You will be guided through yoga, dance, somatic movement, strength training, breath practices and vocal releases all through glimpses of structure, structured freedom and complete freedom.With a continued RSI practice, you begin to connect to your own innate wisdom and power to trust and embrace all the mystery, mess and magic your life has to offer. In the conversation, Steph's openness to life is inspiring; her honoring of teachers and artists and creators is admirable; and her quote-ables are worth noting like, LIFE IS MY PRACTICEYOU DON'T NEED DRUGS OR ALCOHOL TO FEEL THIS FREE... and more... Be sure to tune in for inspiration, connection, and elements that will help you move through life, rooted in a deep sense of trust and care that will move mountains.Meet Steph on Instagram: @stephstraussmindfulnessYou can join our global community and practice virtually with in the Zoom room, all levels are welcome. >> Weekly online RSI practices most Wednesdays and Saturdays { https://www.stephstraussmindfulness.com/rsi-method-live-classes } >> Can't join  live?
