    Season 3 Episode 1 Cigar Talk with NYU Executive MBA Team about Cigar 101

    What is a Cigar? What impression do you associate cigars with? Is it a wise older man reflecting on his past on a porch? Or father sharing a moment with the sons? Do you find it odd that a cigar is one of the most presented items in all major life events and celebrations but is also one of the best companions with a whisky during a heartbreak? Mark Twain, one of the most famous American writers, described his love for cigars in his famous quote “If heaven has no cigars, I shall not go there.” Other greats, such as Winston Churchill, was never shy about his passion; when once asked why cigar was so special to him, he replied, “Smoking cigars is like falling in love. First, you are attracted by its shape; you stay for its flavor, and you must always remember never, never to let the flame go out!" How can a rolled bundle of dried and fermented tobacco leaves made to be smoked become essential to our lifestyles and history? With this question in mind, I am happy to share that recently, I had the fortune to be invited by Joy and Grace from NYU Stern Executive MBA New Media Marketing to participate in a project featuring Cigar Aficionado as a guest speaker to share some fundamentals about cigar and the fascination of this mysterious world to some. . .

    Season 2 Episode 3 "Tickets to Secret Social Clubs for Up-and-Comers in NYC - Simple Guide to Unlock the Door of Social Clubs of NYC"

    Have you ever heard a saying, “It is not about what you know, but who you know?” This statement may be said over million times in million different ways, but it is undeniable that it has become more relevant in the business world today. We can connect much further and more effectively through technologies and social platforms in this day and age. A job seeker can easily expand the network and catch recruiters’ eyes through a presentable LinkedIn profile. An aspiring individual will be able to find the right mentors through Facebook Groups. If you search for ways to connect to a particular group that dedicates to a cause, a simple search online can put you right through. However, as convenient as it seems, it is hard to overlook the fact that certain social clubs remained hidden from the public’s eyes and major social networks that are both cherished and endorsed by some of the finest elites in the business world.

    Here it goes again.” You felt a sharp pain in your stomach as you started your daily hour commute to work. You started your day by waking up with cold sweats long before your alarm sounds. Everything you eat has become tasteless recently. Activities and gatherings that use to inspire no longer interest you. All you think about is the long stressful workday ahead. You already imagine a long line of unsatisfied customers waiting to complain as you have severe short staffs that your senior management refuses to address.

    You just received another resignation letter from one of the employees in your division. This is the fourth resignation within a span of 7 months.
