In this episode, I speak with Pascal Chabaneix and Rodrigo Quintanilla Gonzalez (FTMBA ’26) about their Full-time MBA journey, the learning experiences that shaped them, and the unexpected moments that pushed them further than they imagined. Before starting the programme, Pascal moved to the Netherlands with his wife to settle into a new environment. “Arriving in December 2024 helped us get to know the country and the new life we were expecting to have,” he shares.

Rodrigo reflects on how much he has grown during the programme, especially after the Living Management Project: “You don’t realize how much you’ve been growing until you face the world.”

We also dive into one of the most memorable experiences of their year: the MBAT. With 1,800 participants from MBA programmes across Europe, the event required months of preparation.
