Fiona McQuarrie

Fiona McQuarrie, Professor Emerita at the School of Business and music journalist with a love for Fountains of Wayne, dives into the grindset mentality. She critiques the relentless hustle culture glorified by influencers like Gary Vee, revealing its dark side—burnout and spiritual emptiness. Fiona discusses the paradox of modern business heroes, critiques oversimplified business literature, and humorously examines student pressures in pursuing wealth.
