In today's episode of the mbaMission podcast, we're tackling a question that we're hearing more and more often these days: can business school really prepare you to be an entrepreneur? Harold Simansky and Jeremy Shinewald discuss their own post-MBA experiences as entrepreneurs, and whether the skills they developed in business school are necessary for aspiring founders. If you're dreaming of building your own venture, or want to understand how business school can shape a startup journey, this episode is for you.
