the stanford msx program is an accelerated teritary education program under the gsb. she said internally the program is for those who want the master’s experience(essentially networking and being part of a cohort) but don’t have time/didn’t apply

recommends never split the difference written by a former hostage negotiator for the fbi, to rekindle thinking about high-stakes negs and conversations
