    Exactly what I needed
    I’ve been considering getting an MBA and this is helping immensely in my journey. Obviously a lot of smart guests but it’s really about how thoughtful their answers are for why they went for MBA and what they got out of it.

    Al Dea is a phenomenal podcast host! He has an eye for talent and curates the most interesting speakers across years of experience, industries, and job professions. Each guest has an interesting background and story to tell along with meaningful career advice. I always recommend this podcast to my coachees and mentees who are interested pursuing their MBA. It’s a great way to recognize the benefits of the degree and begin thinking about what they want to gain from the program.

    The best podcast for MBA grads and hopefuls
    I love listening to the convos Al has on MBA Insider! They’re smart, reflective, and full of actionable advice. The two years in bschool go by so quickly and it’s nice to learn how to make the most of it — and what to look forward to on the flip side.

  • Annieandco
    Very helpful for prospective MBA applicants (especially if you’re looking to pivot into PM)
    I’m super happy I stumbled upon Al’s podcast. As a prospective MBA applicant who is looking to change industry and role, I found the conversations Al has with current MBA students or alumni very insightful. I especially enjoyed the episodes on PM and PMM since I’m interested in transitioning into tech after my MBA.
