Listen Later

Today’s guest has a name straight out of an action movie—Jackson Steele—and a background just as cool. Jackson went from studying astronomy and physics to working as a software engineer at Amazon, where he helped automate drone operations. Now, he’s at Kellogg, navigating business school with a unique perspective on career pivots, entrepreneurship, and making tough decisions when things don’t go as planned.

In this episode, we dive into:

🚀 His unexpected path from astrophysics to tech
📉 The heartbreak of not getting into his dream school (and how he bounced back)
🎯 What really matters when choosing an MBA program
💡 His plans to break into product management and entrepreneurship

Plus, we talk cold showers, Kellogg's bidding system, and why Chicago winters are brutal ❄️. You won’t want to miss this one!
