Mmmm you sound like the kind of entrepreneur b-schools like...one who actually started and ran a business that was sold! Your business is a PR firm I take it??? I think that teaching would be an interesting opportunity...presumably after the sale of your business you would have enough in the bank to sustain yourself for a year abroad (so you wouldn't be dependent on whatever stipend you received from teaching...correct?) I would brainstorm some other options as well...beyond teaching would you be interested in getting involved in a non-profit or socially driven start-up in a foreign country? That might be a little bit more out of the ordinary. Do you speak any foreign languages/have any international experience - is teaching abroad a way of learning one for you or is it not a primary goal? I hate Rocket Internet but it is pretty easy to get involved with them in LatAm, Africa or Germany.

You've definitely got a cool story, depending on GMAT & post-MBA goals, and how you frame your story you *could* be the sort of candidate they like at Stanford, Kellogg. Where were you thinking of applying?
