In this episode I talk about the theory of "what you seek is seeking you" and let go of things that no longer serve you with faith that you'll have a better opportunity in the future whether that's in reference to love, career, etc. I also chat about my thoughts on being 30 and single and the patriarchy's role in that. Furthermore, I chat about my growing TikTok, my choice to move to Boston, and how I'm manifesting a brighter future and how the universe rewards you when you do so.

In today's episode, we are chatting with Ben Francisco a former professional baseball outfielder, who is currently a major league scout for the Los Angeles. Ben played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cleveland Indians, Philadelphia Phillies, Toronto Blue Jays, Houston Astros, Tampa Bay Rays, and New York Yankees, and even played in the World Series! Ben and I have been friends for about 12 years now, he is a super humble person and it's always great to catch up with him. I loved his advice on how to pick yourself up and his perspective on Black Lives Matter, and what the sport of baseball is doing to address racial inequities in the sport. I hope you enjoy this one!

In today's podcast, we're taking a lighthearted approach as I explain what it's like to date in my 30s after being in longterm relationships for about 8+ years. I totally missed the dating app culture/experience, so this is my first foray into the whole dating online thing. Let me tell you it is complicated, hilarious, and lacking social graces but alas it's fun to chat about, right?

Today's podcast episode is how to get what you want. This may seem simple but it can be difficult to achieve at times. The recipe for getting what you want is really quite simple, first off you need to know what that is. This can be harder thank you think! We've all been a little ambivalent at times. Then you need to be direct in the way you ask for the thing you want -- the only way you'll get it is by asking! Lastly, pursuing what you want when you inevitably encounter a NO or two, or three, etc. This is the phase I struggle with most, and perhaps you do too? I give concrete examples of ways in which this works and some advice from a Yale MBA professor who does a lot of work with standard-setting. Super interesting stuff if I do say so myself!

In today's podcast, I'm discussing the theory of "radical honesty" which has the following principles. I dive into how historically I've been more of a people pleaser, less willing to speak my truth, and how "COVID clarity" ignited a series of truths that changed my life for the better. Ultimately telling someone how you feel, even if it's hard, is the right thing to do for everyone. I chat about ways you can make this change in your life and what to expect from those changes. The Core Principles of Radical Honesty Lying is the primary cause of suffering Living honestly is the antidote to lying and the root of its power is in distinguishing noticing from thinking. You can only notice in the moment. And you can only notice three categories of things: sensations, thoughts, and your external surroundings. Sharing honestly what you notice frees you from the suffering caused by attachment to lying, withholding, phoniness, and ideals. Sharing honestly what you notice also deepens love, connection, understanding and forgiveness (eventually). Radical Honesty is a living, walking, talking out-loud meditation that moves you from reactivity to being a creator of your own life.
Today I'm sharing about my Peace Corps experience. The Peace Corps is a volunteer program run by the United States government. Its official mission is to provide social and economic development abroad through technical assistance while promoting mutual understanding between Americans and populations served. The program was established by Executive Order 10924, issued by President John F. Kennedy on March 1961 and authorized by Congress on September 21, 1962, with the passage of the Peace Corps Act (Pub.L. 87–293).
Peace Corps Volunteers are American citizens, typically with a college degree, who work abroad for a period of two years after three months of training. Volunteers work with governments, schools, non-profit organizations, non-government organizations, and entrepreneurs in education, youth development, community health, business, information technology, agriculture, and the environment. After 24 months of service, volunteers can request an extension of service.[2]
Since its inception, more than 235,000 Americans have joined the Peace Corps and served in 141 countries.[3] In 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic, all volunteers were evacuated from all posts. There are currently no volunteers serving at this time.[4][5]

How to get into a top 10 MBA program

When I first decided to go to business school I was at a loss for what to do. No one in my close friend group had the same aspiration and I didn’t know any alumni to reach out to for guidance. You could say I started from zero in terms of my understanding of the admissions process, school landscape, and the highly competitive nature of the programs. I set my sights on a top 10 MBA without really understanding what that would entail. My thought process was that an MBA derives much of its value from its network, so if I was going to pay $50K per year, it ought to be for a stellar (i.e., a top 10) network. I began reading about the application process, essays, recommendations, GMAT/GRE scores, GPA requirements, interviews, etc. Honestly, none of it seemed all that daunting outside of the GMAT quantitative (quant) section. By nature I’m good at verbal, always have been. So when I realized that a top quant score was imperative in terms of acceptance into a competitive program, the panic set in. I took the GMAT without any test prep and let me tell you it was a disaster, I had test anxiety, my mind went blank and I REALLY bombed the quant section. As I had predicted the writing and verbal sections were a breeze but OMG math. YIKES. So I basically did everything wrong in my first year of applying, I applied super late with a less than stellar GMAT score, and because of that, I was rejected from my dream schools. I took a month off to nurse my wounds and came up with a plan. I would:
I would enroll in Veritas Prep (Manhattan Prep and Magoosh are some other options to look into) for GMAT classes.
I would speak with alumni to cater to my essays and narrative toward each school versus a one-size-fits-all approach.
I would apply earlier in the year, ideally, round one, but not later than round two.
With the above changes which included studying, networking, and research I was accepted into my dream program UC Berkeley Haas (ranked #6 overall and #4 for entrepreneurship — my interest), and really I couldn’t believe it! I’ve created an in-depth guide that I wish I’d had at the onset of my admissions journey (link to purchase: https://www.jendeangelis.com/shop/how-to-get-into-a-top-10-mba-guide) to help you traverse the ins and outs of admissions and how you too can be accepted into your dream program! Best of luck and go bears!
