  How Consulting Paid for 50% of my MBA
  Entrepreneurship, My Experiences

  Recently someone wrote me asking for advice on how to break into the world of consulting. I thought the best way to address this was through a post on my personal experience... When I was 24 I lost my job. I won’t get into specifics, but it was a difficult time because everything I had worked so hard for suddenly seemed to have been stripped away from me. At the time I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do, but I knew I did not want to put my trust into another corporate experience for a long, long time. ...

  I finished my MBA on Tuesday.
  Tech'nomics

  For those unfamiliar with this blog, I started it about a year ago, mid-way through my MBA at Johns Hopkins University. What started as the IntelliGrad blog, switched to Leveraging Ideas when covering the cross section of technology and education became too limiting. Tuesday was a big milestone for me and I am very excited to have more time to devote to working on my own company, advising startups and writing. The way that Hopkins ends the MBA is by splitting students into consulting groups for their final class. Each group is then assigned to help a company with a ...

  My Experiences

  I have been hammered with work lately, but am now 'officially' four weeks from finally being done with my MBA! However due to my current workload, the slow summer season and lack of great insights, I am going to take some time to re-design my blog. I'll be back soon and better than ever... Sam

  Exams and OpenCoffee

  Today was what may have been my last final ever. Afterwards I proceeded to watch Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drifters...complete garbage, but I can't say I completely hated it. Tomorrow I am off the New York City and I promise very soon to have a slew of better, insightful blog posts so stay tuned. Also, if you are not familiar with Tim Ferriss and his new book, the Four Hour Work Week, I highly recommend you listen to this podcast Tim gave at SXSW and pick up the book. Finally, we are planning for the first ever OpenCoffee event in DC to ...

  Porsche Theory: the 1960 vs. the 2006
  Entrepreneurship

  I just got back from the Johns Hopkins Alumni Council’s Leadership Weekend. As the representative for the Hopkins MBA program, I am extremely fortunate to have access to some incredibly talented and smart people. In fact, my experience with the council last year is what provided the impetus for me to devote all my time and energy to creating the most effective and efficient tool available for students and alumni to engage, network and share experiences and common interests. However, as brilliant as most people in the room were, the conversation reinforced a theory I have long held. I call it ...
