One of the richest men in the world buying it, putting money into it so that it wouldn't go down the drain.

But what happened actually was my best friend at the Washington Post, she was the religion reporter.

Her husband was in the Navy.

And he had just left the Navy and he was going to Stanford Business School.

And I knew nothing about business school.

I was stunned he got in.

I was like, I didn't know your husband knew anything about business.

I thought he was in the Navy.

And she's like, no, no, no.

Like the business schools take like 5% of their class every year.

They call them non-traditional candidates.

A lot of them are veterans.

But they'll take people who know nothing about business to just kind of almost like create an interesting group of people for the class.

You're not there because they think you're going to be great at business.

They want to create a diverse class of experiences.

And she's like, he got in.

This is how he got in.

He spent hours every day learning the GMAT.

She told me how he did it.
