I just saw it after you mentioned it in a session we had today-wow! Amazing content. It’s fascinating to see such a unique community gathered there and to understand their thought process. Amazing job, Saleh!
This was a great interview thank you for always bringing the best and deepest material to us, preparing these interviews and all the cameras and editing and maintaining this channel is a huge cumbersome task that takes a lot of time and effort, I totally appreciate your input and time that you put into this dear Saleh. In my point of view, this interview was the most authentic and original among the 3 so far. I didn't have to check the time every few minutes to see how much of the interview is left contrary to the past ones, I just sat back and watched and enjoyed a great story being told. I would really love to see women candidates too, so far we have only had 3 men, I know I am just a little guy and you definitely have a lot of experience in this, but I would suggest surveying the audience and inviting guests with whom followers might feel more connected to, like perhaps people from middle east or Iran (if there are any) even students from 1 or 2 years ago, especially those who might have a story similar to what the majority of followers could possibly experience. I mean there are the cases that some candidates despite originating from for example the middle east but were living in the US for a long time, that wouldn't necessarily associate with people that reside in the region. Perhaps that shows how having an international experience is phenomenal for acceptance, and cases in which people without it might have been admitted are rare. Nevertheless, whether in the US or in anywhere else in the world, women constitute half of the applicants and addressing that would be great. This could go on to cover LGBTQ students, African Americans, Asians, Native Americans or Latinos... I totally understand that you are building this channel with huge thoughts behind it, and it is only the matter of time that this is taking off to huge success, maybe just a little marketing perhaps, but the material is of high quality and is undoubtedly built for success. and please please please invite some MSx'ers too :)) I know MSx audience is limited but if you had time, it would be great. By the way, I never realized when Alex took his jacket off :)) I was already a few minutes before the end that noticed and had to rewind back to the moment this happened. I mean the white doctor's jacket perfectly suited for a doctor; it showed how proud Alex is about his stellar background :D a football and a white jacket, hahaha! he definitely wanted to build a picture in minds to be remembered with!
Thank a lot Kiarash. I am really glad you liked it. And thanks for the constant support and constructive feedback. This helps us improve. A few points regarding your feedback: We have already planned a few interviews with my female classmates as well. There are ~430 classmates and it takes time to get to know them deeply enough to have a genuine conversation, haha. Please evaluate the diversity of guest selection on a long-run basis (e.g., after 15 interviews). Also, building relationships with MSx folks takes some time. Our region, MENA, is unfortunately often under-represented. But I will for sure interview a few classmates from the region. Thanks a lot for being so excited about it. We would really appreciate it if you have any recommendations for promotion. Please let us know. Also, please share the podcast and the Instagram page with your community and make sure to follow us on LinkedIn @ www.linkedin.com/company/mba-odyssey/ Thanks a lot again.
