Angelica Castellanos just graduated in the HBS Class of 2018 and was the co-President of the HBS Student Association during her second year. We recorded this episode a few weeks before she graduated, and got to hear great perspectives on life at HBS as a mom, family business, learning about oneself at HBS, and even bomb sniffing dogs.

Do you have the startup bug? Recently, entrepreneurship has become a major area of focus for b-schools; anyone with an idea is encouraged to go for it. But is scrappiness really all it takes? In episode 8 of We Are HBS, we get real start-up stories from folks who have the scars and wisdom to show for it. Learn about how finding the right cofounder is like dating, faking it till you make it, and how critical it is to follow your gut. Featuring: John Keck, Ankith Harathi, Benjamin Dupays, and Clare Simonis.
