"I Left New York for Barcelona to Get My MBA — Here's What Nobody Tells You"

Описание: Christian Wilcox spent years climbing the corporate ladder in New York. Then he quit, packed his bags, and moved to Barcelona to get his MBA at GBSB Global Business School.
In this episode, he shares what really pushed him to make the leap — and why he doesn't regret it for a second.

💬 We talk about:
— Why an MBA is becoming a necessity, not just a nice-to-have
— What surprised him most about studying with professionals from around the world
— Barcelona vs. Madrid — which city is actually better for international students
— The moment it all became real (hint: it involved an email to his boss)
— What he'd tell his pre-MBA self today

Whether you're considering an MBA, thinking about studying abroad, or just wondering if the risk is worth it — this one's for you.
