#309 - How They’re Building This - Discussions With MBA Student Entrepreneurs
04/03/19 • 48 min
The entrepreneurial spirit is strong in top MBA programs, with a fair number of MBA students entering business school each year with the intention of starting a business of their own — but what is that experience really like?
In this episode, hear entrepreneurs and MBA students Holly Meyers, Chima Mbadugha, and Sheela Lal as they take you through their respective entrepreneurial journeys and why business school is both the best time (free to fail!) and the worst time (stress is high!) to start a business.

#308 - So, Your Partner Wants To Become An MBA Student ... What now?!
It’s our first partners-only episode! We’ve kicked out (most of) our regular crew and have asked the partners of current MBA students to come together and dish on what it’s like to move across the world to be with your significant other while they pursue their MBA.
Pursuing an MBA can mean big changes for students -- and partners. As a partner of an MBA student, it’s natural to wonder what lies ahead as you prepare for this new chapter. Is it hard to make friends? Will you miss your ‘home’? Can you still hang out and have date nights?
Virginia Miles joins her husband and BBU producer Marjace, for an in-depth and candid discussion about the lives of MBA partners.
Plus, there’s a Newlywed-style game with buzzers and prizes and it’s just good fun.

#310 - Three People. Two Conversations. One Wild Ride
Strap in, this is a wild one. In this episode, Marjace visits the offices of two Michigan Ross professors to talk about everything from marketing research and rebuilding old cars from scratch to algorithmically finding lead pipes in Flint, Michigan, and fronting a band with the craziest name you’ve ever heard.
You hear from a lot of students on this show about their experience and what it’s like to be in an MBA program. But you don’t hear a lot from the professors who make the educational part of the MBA experience so dynamic.
There are a lot of talented, respected, world-renowned professors at Michigan Ross. But what do they do in their free time? Turns out, quite a bit.
