I think it was wonderful. Fantastic. I really enjoyed my time at Chicago Booth. I meet a lot of different people from different walks of life. I learn from them and make great friends, including you, Vinz. Yeah, of course, of course. Of course. 10 years and counting. Yes, yes. Yeah, so... Okay, first of all, I like meeting people, but I also love learning.

After I graduated from university, I realized I do like being a student. I like to challenge myself and stretch my mind. I never really did study business type of subjects when I was in school. And so the MBA helps to put frameworks and theories to what I learned on the job. Business consulting, it is business, but... It's not like a formal education. It's on the job kind of training.

So going through MBA, I think that was useful. There is a lot of rigor in what Chicago Bulls offer. I remember, for example, macroeconomics.

Yeah, man. Heisinger. Professor Heisinger. I really liked him. He really drives us. He taught us how to look at trends, try to predict stuff using formulas. I know that some other, I shall not name other schools, but from my understanding, macroeconomics would be a little bit more intuitive in those causes. But for Chicago Booth, it was all formula-driven.

And then every week, no, every month we had an exam and in the week that we were together, every day there's a quiz. so it's quite crazy but I think it really trained us well placed us very well I think looking back it was a great experience but the question was why did I choose to do it As an elected member of parliament, I should constantly try to grow and learn.

As I mentioned earlier, my first term, I quit my job at Ernst & Young to focus on my constituency work. I think it was wonderful. After a while, when we get the hang of things, you build up experience, you establish processes, you establish the team. I start to have capacity. I felt that I needed to build new dimensions. I felt that I really needed to learn something.

When the Chicago Bulls opportunity came, I decided to just latch on and just go. It has been a wonderful two years.

Yeah, I get asked this quite a bit and while we all wish we can balance all these different roles and that, and the assumption underlying this would be that we compromise nothing. But the reality is that there will always be trade off. Something has to give at some point when we focus on something else. So in this case,

Honestly, there's always a constant mother's guilt because I feel that being an elected member of parliament is absolutely sacred because so many people place their trust in me. They voted for me. To me, this is absolutely sacred. So I have to continue to do my best. to solve the problems, to listen, to represent them in parliament, to give voice, to do a lot of things.

And that takes a lot of time. Professionally, I get paid and I also want to make sure that I continue to grow as a person. I also want to give myself that chance to do so and I need to be a responsible employee. So in the end, I have to sacrifice the family front a little bit more. I remember in my second general election, 2015, It's two weeks after I gave birth.
