00:01:23,460 --> 00:01:29,790 that you know after I finish my MBA I got near-perfect grades in my undergraduate and in my MBA program 19 00:01:30,180 --> 00:01:34,540 and I did what you know I thought I was supposed to do. 20 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,020 And then I wasn't getting interviews and I thought that was so unfair. 21 00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:41,000 You know I'm sure you can relate to this. 22 00:01:41,010 --> 00:01:43,950 You put in all this time and energy into developing your skills. 23 00:01:44,010 --> 00:01:48,930 Some of your graduates like if you're you know taking this at one of
