Ep 16. Jake Greenberg - JD-MBA @ Northwestern: Startups, Lawyers, and Ice Cream

Ep 16's guest, Jake Greenberg, brings some of the most unique perspectives we’ve had on the pod. (Btw, there are ice cream analogies, and yes, they work.)

Jake’s journey is driven by curiosity, humility, and a deep desire to make a difference. In this episode, we dig into:

📚 A technical step-by-step breakdown of how he transitioned from a JD program into a JD-MBA
🍨 Why he wants to be the dumbest person in the room—and how that mindset has fueled his growth
🧠 His passion for working on problems so complex, only a handful of people in the world are tackling them
💼 How a hyper-growth startup taught him that lawyers often hold the ultimate seat at the table
🌍 His post-MBA plan to help marginalized individuals launch their own businesses—and why he feels a duty to give back

Jake’s story is thoughtful, ambitious, and full of heart. You're going to love this one.
