When Jonathan Chiquito originally came on the podcast 2 years ago, he was nervous about bringing his girlfriend Nancy from LA to Boston. Similarly, he wasn't sure if he would be able to break into his dream field of healthcare after having experienced a stroke himself.
Now, as we catch up with Jonathan, we find out that he and Nancy got married and last month they had a baby girl! Plus, Jonathan got the opportunity intern at J&J in their stroke division! So, tune in to find out if he's had time to take care of himself during all of these momentous life changes.

Customer Reviews
Keeping My Promise. Thank YOU Adam
I found this podcast on accident when I saw two friends post their episodes on LinkedIn. I can not say enough how grateful I am for “clicking through” and listening to their stories. I found out things I didn’t even know AND Adam’s subtle balance of interjecting his perspective while still pulling out more from their stories was masterful. Adam - again thank you for starting this but more importantly for continuing this. I’m almost done listening to every episode AND I can’t wait to hear updates from you and the guests you asked to come back. I also aspire to one day be a special guest on the other side. Keep up the great work and I look forward to crossing paths soon!
Inspiring & Uplifting
It's a podcast technically about business students and getting into top business school, but it's so much more than that. It's people's journeys. It's success stories. It's full of optimism and positivity for the future. It's a reminder that there is a lot of good people in the world working hard to have a big impact. I didn't expect this to lift my spirits today but it did just that.
This podcast is dope! ✊🏿
I’m beginning the process of applying to MBA programs and this podcast is a great resource. I was truly inspired by Garry’s story (Garry-Tuck) and it gave me so much confidence to hear someone be so transparent about their obstacles. Wow.
