#43 - Why I rejected MIT Sloan (and all top business schools)

✨Grow and make YouTube videos 5x faster (free guide) 👉 https://wamy.kit.com/5days

After being the textbook definition of the "perfect Asian daughter" (4.0 GPA Caltech graduate, MIT Sloan early admit), I turned down one of the world's top MBA programs. It was scary at first but you'll see in this video why it was an obvious decision and the TRUTH behind these institutions. You're the only one you can trust. Also, in this podcast episode, I break down the moment I knew corporate life wasn't for me, the book that changed my life and how I built a life and career that feels authentically ME.
