Everything we learned in 29 minutes at Harvard Business School
Grab your notebooks (and maybe a matcha latte), because Cherie and Jean are cramming an entire Harvard MBA into one crash course! In this Season 4 opener, we zoom through classic frameworks – like Porter’s Five Forces and STP (segmentation, targeting, positioning) – and walk through real-world examples (Starbucks, Warby Parker, Netflix) to illustrate how these theories actually work in a known entity. From must-know finance terms to breaking down how to build a product people actually want, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re launching a startup, side-hustling on DTC, or just refreshing your business IQ, this episode is well worth the 29 minutes – no six-figure tuition required. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 🐯👯♀️ Tiger Sisters Podcast | Career, Entrepreneurship, and LifeWelcome to Tiger Sisters, your go-to podcast for career mentorship and life guidance!

In this episode, the Tiger Sisters sit down with Jonah Goodhart to uncover how he stays so mesmerizingly chill while juggling more projects than we can count. Jonah spills his game-changing secret of learning how and when to pause, explains the “happiness quotient” and why finding joy in what you do actually lengthens your life—just ask Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger.

Stop wasting time — go straight to your dream job (advice from 1st Snapchat Investor, Jeremy Liew)
Ever wondered how a Math Olympiad–turned–venture capitalist became the master of his own universe? In this Tiger Sisters episode, we sit down with Jeremy Liew—the guy who famously was the first investor ever to bet on Snapchat before it was cool—and get all the tea. He drops wisdom on skipping detours (“If you know what you want, just DO it”), confesses to getting fired (and how it led to bigger moves), and casually floats the idea of nationalizing AI. Meanwhile, Cherie and Jean lose their minds over his “we’re all just bags of meat” epiphany and dissect how following mentors can rocket-launch your career. From YOLO safari trips in Tanzania to skipping red lights (still illegal, FYI), it’s a jam-packed convo that’ll make you laugh, rethink your next move, and maybe try that leap-of-faith you’ve been putting off. Your future self thanks you for watching this episode.------------------------------------------------------------------ 🐯👯♀️ Tiger Sisters Podcast | Career, Entrepreneurship, and LifeWelcome to Tiger Sisters, your go-to podcast for career mentorship and life guidance!
