Does an MBA, specifically an MBA from a top program, really offer something valuable for entrepreneurs? Listen to the full recording<\/a> to hear Linda Abraham explore this question and much more with entrepreneurs Casey, Hicham, Amaris, and Mike of MBAs Across America<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"MBAs<\/a><\/p>\n

00:01:55 \u2013 10 weeks in 10 cities: An internship HBS<\/a> has never seen before. Meet the MBAs Across America team.<\/p>\n

00:02:43 \u2013 The genesis of an awesome idea \u2013 it all started with dinner with friends and a travel-bug.<\/p>\n

00:04:10 \u2013 There is no getting around it, Linda is jealous.<\/p>\n

00:04:27 \u2013 Working and learning with visionary entrepreneurs<\/a> in overlooked locations. How the itinerary was developed (and how a town of 900 people made it onto the list of destinations).<\/p>\n

00:07:19 \u2013 What value will MBAs Across America provide for the businesses it works with? And a word about the storytelling component.<\/p>\n

00:10:02 \u2013 Personal goals for the program: see the country, have fun, create a replicable model for future grad students worldwide, and more (I\u2019m not giving it all<\/em> away in the notes).<\/p>\n

00:14:30 \u2013 What are their post-MBA goals<\/a> and how does MBAs Across America fit into their plans?<\/p>\n

00:17:57 \u2013 Given your entrepreneurial leanings, why HBS?<\/p>\n

00:20:08 \u2013 Harvard\u2019s supportive response to this unconventional internship idea.<\/p>\n

00:22:42 \u2013 Some refreshing comments about honesty in admissions, going to grad school for a good reason (yay!), and priorities (high starting salary vs. impacting the world).<\/p>\n

00:25:02 \u2013 Mike wants to be the CEO of GE. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

00:27:44 \u2013 Great tips for HBS applicants from those who\u2019ve been there.<\/p>\n

00:32:58 \u2013 MBAs Across America is awesome! Go ahead and donate now<\/a> to be a part of this internship revolution!<\/p>\n
