In their new episode and English-language debut, hosts Franz and Tobi engage in a wide-ranging discussion on modern career paths and entrepreneurship. They begin by sharing their personal business ventures, from a co-founded gaming company to Tobi's journey in diagnostics and Franz's current role as Head of Product at CareerOS.

A key topic is the rise of AI in the workplace, where Franz details a groundbreaking experiment at his company using an AI agent for recruiting top talent from a pool of thousands of students. The main segment features a deep-dive debate on the value of pursuing an MBA. They weigh the high costs against potential benefits like networking, salary increases, and career pivots, while contrasting the different MBA landscapes in Europe and the United States.
