<p>Welcome to the More Than an MBA podcast!<br> <br> In this episode, Kai tosses formality to the wind and hosts an organic coffee chat with fellow 2nd year MBA classmates Meron Daniel and Carlos Navas. Meron talks about navigating the MBA program and being relentless no matter what life throws at you; Carlos shares deep sentiments about his approach to life, which is to be intentional in everything you do, and Kai discusses the financial strains of the MBA program and briefly touches on the international student's worst nightmare: deportation.<br> <br> Welcome then to an authentic, unscripted dialogue about life as an MBA student between three good friends. It's a conversation filled with personal stories, silly banter, and...a promise of the possibility of Ethiopian coffee in the foreseeable future.<br> <br> We hope you enjoy this episode!<br> <br> <strong>Date uploaded:</strong> Monday, 28th November 2022<br> <strong>Host:</strong> Kaihan Lin<br> <strong>Guests:</strong> Meron Daniel and Carlos Navas<br> <br> <strong>Show Notes:</strong><br> <strong>(0:34)</strong> Technical glitches, a shout out, and introductions (some)<br> <strong>(2:36)</strong> Meron's take on her MBA experience<br> <strong>(3:31)</strong> Navigating through the MBA application process<br> <strong>(6:06)</strong> On scholarships via Consortium and Forte<br> <strong>(9:05)</strong> Fate or luck brought all 3 of us together<br> <strong>(10:35)</strong> When shit hits the fan...<br> <strong>(12:37)</strong> The MBA: A continuous journey of self-reflection<br> <strong>(14:42)</strong> Kai opens up on financial struggles<br> <strong>(16:05)</strong> Meron: on perseverance, diligence, and relentlessness<br> <strong>(17:38)</strong> Carlos: "Stepping out of my comfort zone"<br> <strong>(23:16)</strong> The MBA: Transactional or life-long connections?<br> <strong>(30:27)</strong> Cultural Peeve: English<br> <strong>(35:52)</strong> Cultural Peeve: The color of one's skin<br> <strong>(36:55)</strong> Be humble, you must<br> <strong>(43:42)</strong> Deportation: An international student's worst nightmare<br> <strong>(44:23)</strong> Takeaway #1: Of mentors and good friends<br> <strong>(46:35)</strong> Takeaway #2: Consistent self-audit<br> <strong>(47:44)</strong> Takeaway #3: Always be intentional<br> <strong>(49:54)</strong> A cheesy outtake<br> <br> <strong>Email:</strong> <a href="mailto:mbaa@gwu.edu">MBAA</a><br> <strong>LinkedIn:</strong> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/gwmbaa/">GW MBAA</a><br> <strong>Podcast:</strong> <a href="https://anchor.fm/morethananmba/">More Than an MBA</a><br> <br> <strong>[Others]</strong><br> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/merondaniel/">Meron's LinkedIn</a> <br> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlosxnavas/">Carlos's LinkedIn</a>

<p>Eden sits down with Dr. Christopher Kayes, Professor of Management and chair of the Department of Management at GWSB, and Dr. Shyam Giridharadas, Adjunct Professor of Management at GWSB, to discuss and debunk three business myths. Both bring their experiences in research, consulting, and higher education to this conversation.</p> <p>We tackle the myths that (1) networking is superficial, (2) asking for a mentor is awkward, and (3) leadership can't be taught. First we define networking, mentorship, and leadership. Then we explore those negative feelings attached to networking, why being and having a mentor is so important at school and at work, and how Dr. Kayes and Dr. Giridharadas both teach leadership at GWSB.</p> <p>Learn more about <a href="https://business.gwu.edu/d-christopher-kayes" target="_blank">Dr. Kayes</a> and <a href="https://business.gwu.edu/radhashyam-giridharadas" target="_blank">Dr. Giridharadas</a> at <a href="https://business.gwu.edu/" target="_blank">business.gwu.edu</a>.</p>
