#204 - "Those Are Some Badass Women"

Ramu has a wide-ranging discussion with some of the most powerful MBA student leaders.

In this episode, Ramu is joined by Vaish Shastry, Kristen Steagall, and Charisse Wilkins, MBA students at Michigan Ross and leaders of some of the largest student clubs on campus (Finance Club, Tech Club, Black Business Student Association). The group discusses what it means to be a female leader in the world today, but also dives deep into topics relevant in the finance industry, the tech world, and diversity issues impacting all workplaces across the country.

There’s also a five-minute debate about Beyoncé and Rihanna, so tune in for that.
