There's a lot of students of mine who want to go into investment banking and I would tell you it's likely not cut out for most of them. There are some that it's right up their alley. They will be successful and to be very clear when I say successful it means they will be able to not just hold on to but grow in their Yiddish guy while at the same time balancing a very very intense work schedule. Sometimes if you've crossed the line too hard, it may be difficult to correct in in in the current job and you may need to go somewhere else. I you may need to go somewhere else. I spend this last week writing over a thousand New Year's cards uh to to my connections in the business world and I handw write all of these cards. I do that because it's my way of being mockyou to and staying in touch. And I do believe it's a very powerful tool that most people don't utilize to enhance relationships, but also it's [music] just important on who we are. reach new listeners. So without any further ado, Laser, you started your career uh in investment banking before having a few pivots into other directions. So maybe just take us back to that early decision to go in that direction. Investment banking is considered a very intense but also, you know, well- paid career. So why was that your first choice of of a career? >> Sure. So let me just take a step back. So I went to Yishi University, got my masters in accounting, then spent two years in accounting and then went for my uh my MBA coming out of business school. Uh I spent my summer between my first and second year uh at Maril Lynch
