A major component of this site is a weblog that has had several lives, from its start as a featured MBA applicant/student blog on a separate site to its own presence on the Blogger system and now to its own domain as my personal website.
As you read through the entries, you'll see me go through three distinct phases in my life:
- Pre-MBA experience: Experiences that one typically goes through before matriculating at business school
- Life as an MBA student: Highs and lows of my time as a student at the Stanford Graduate School of Business in much more detail than most would expect to see
- Post-MBA life...and serving as a career/education/life coach to the masses: Responses to questions emailed to me by readers, where I use what I have learned through my own missteps and experiences to help others achieve their goals and avoid making the same misstepsÂ

Time to finish this trip to Morocco
Yo, I am dead tired right now. After only getting an hour of sleep on the overnight red-eye flight from SFO to JFK, I spent the day running around in Manhattan trying to make productive use of the 12 hour layover that we had before our flight out to Morocco. I was...
A long trip to Morocco has started
What's up, y'all. My trip to morocco has officially started and I'm writing this entry on the flight from SFO to JFK. You might be asking why I brought my laptop on this trip and, honestly, I'm asking myself the same thing. Part of it is that I wanted to be able to...
Spring Break is here…
Spring Break has officially started for MBA2's, but MBA1's are still stuck in the fire of Winter quarter. The difference comes because GSB electives usually don't have final exams during Finals week, so our time in class concludes when classes end. On the other hand,...

The GSB has been a transformational experience
