I just had an inspiring coffee chat with Chinmay about his journey as an MSBA graduate at the Marshall School of Business. His insights on creating your own luck left me supercharged and with a ton of valuable lessons. I connected with him to learn about his journey, best practices, and how he balanced academic and social life. I'm left with so many valuable perspectives that can only be learned after years of experience. Here's a high-level summary of our conversation for all of us to reflect and learn from: 1. Clearly set your priorities - Chinmay shared the "triangle of priorities" (Academic + Career, Social, and Health), emphasizing that you can't balance them all at once. The key is to be intentional about where you spend your time. 2. Be disciplined and protect your time - Learn to say "no" and be intentional with your schedule. 3. Break down your goals into specific metrics - Track your progress daily and reflect on it weekly. This keeps you focused and moving forward. 4. Go shamelessly for what you want - Learn to ask, embrace rejection, and be persistent. 5. Keep experimenting and learning - Try new approaches every week to optimize your journey. 6. Network with like-minded people - Collaborate, motivate, and learn from one another. 7. Be a research scientist - Know your domains of interest inside and out. And these are just a few of the many hacks we discussed to optimize our learning journeys. I hope these insights help you on your own path.

Hi Chinmay! I appreciate the time and patience you had for answering my questions about your experience within the MSBA program and the Case Competitions. I appreciate how easy-going the conversation was. Thank you for providing me with resources to improve on Python and SQL–I will definitely use them. Lastly, I think the best thing in that conversation was knowing your job–I think your role is super awesome, and the work that you are currently doing/building for the firm, and how you’re starting it by yourself. Wishing you the best, and I hope to keep in touch!
