Also, Kyle shares a few exclusive stories on some embarrassing moments thus far in the program.

Episode Quotes:

Advice on commuting: “I think it’s just planning ahead as much as possible and giving yourself a break when some things go wrong.”

On work/life/school balance: “Business school is really about tradeoffs. The tradeoffs are spending a little bit of extra money now to have more time with your spouse."

Prioritizing your partner: “You really need to prioritize your partner over your friends because they’re giving up quite a bit of their energy to help things move forward.”
