Thank you for being here.

I have to ask this.

Yesterday, for your Tepper School at Carnegie Mellon, was an extraordinary day.

Our Lisa Abramowicz in conversation with a gentleman from Citadel of a ginormous amount of money to make the food better at Tepper.

[laughs]

That from the United Nations Rose Garden overlooking the East River as well.

It is Bloomberg Money, and what we're trying to do here within the daily Bloomberg grind of sophisticated equity bond currency commodity analysis is find somebody who at Carnegie Mellon Tepper took stochastic calculus for finance, survived Brownian motion, and Bruno Dupire's Ito's lemma, but can talk about personal finance, [laughs] retirement and wealth management.

He'll break it down for us.

There's only one guy that can do that.

It is Bloomberg money.

And what we're trying to do here within the daily Bloomberg grind of sophisticated equity bond currency commodity analysis is find somebody who at Carnegie Mellon Tepper took stochastic calculus for finance, survived Brownian motion, and Bruno DePierre's Edo's Lemma, but can talk about personal finance, retirement.

There's only one guy that can do that.

Jeffrey Rosenberg joins us from BlackRock today.

And so it's all about like, when is the right time in your career to go to business school? And we're really lucky J.R.

McGrath from Carnegie Mellon Tepper is going to do it with us.

He has been in this space forever and also knows quite a bit about kind of career paths.

And I think he dabbled in career services at one of the business schools he worked for in the past.

I did want to mention, I'm excited to say that there are more podcast episodes coming.

And in fact, I'm going to catch up with Bruce from Yale and record one in a couple of days.

So that's forthcoming as well as podcasts from Tepper, Carnegie Mellon, Michigan Ross, Emory, UNC, Foster.

I mean, there's a whole list more that I'm kind of making my way through to record and we'll get them out to you.

So yeah, there's definitely a mix.

You know, I'd say at Tepper, at the Tepper School of Business, there's like Undergraduate Entrepreneurship Association, which I'm a mentor of.

There's CMU SEP Sigma Eta Pi, which is the entrepreneurship fraternity.

So right there off the bat, we're seeing so many great, great entrepreneurship clubs for founders to join.

This is like, do I apply this year or next year or some other future time? And it's just about understanding, you know, kind of when is it, when is the right moment in your career to kind of go and do this? And we're going to be joined by J.R.

McGrath from Carnegie Mellon Tepper.

JR is one of the kind of, you know, veteran folks in our industry who just is a super knowledgeable admissions dean.

And he, you know, he's worked at a couple of different schools.
