J.R., thank you for having me.
It's an honor and a pleasure.
I was trying to dabble in as many types of businesses as I could because I felt like that would give me the widest basis, the strongest foundation.
And because I had no academic education at all at that point, everything I did was through kind of understanding what other people are doing.
but I was certainly lacking a lot of theoretical elements and fundamentals.
So I would sit in an investment meeting or an investment call with a VC and I would say, oh, the ROI is this or it's that, but I had no idea what ROI actually means.
How do you calculate an ROI?
What is the time value of money?
How do you calculate interest or mortgage
I bought a bit of real estate.
I was sitting in the bank.
The bank professionals spoke to me about interest rates and how they fluctuate up.
And I just felt like there's this gap that I would never be able to fill unless I have that strong theoretical academic education.
And I got lucky.
I was able to get it in one year instead of, let's say, six or five.
I got my degree from INSEAD.
It's an MBA in France, in Singapore, in Abu Dhabi.
When I went there in 2016, 2017, it was selected in the number one business school in the world by the Financial Times.
It's a one-year MBA.
And wow, what did I learn?
