Sam Turner liked thisSam Turner liked thisIt was a blast catching up and reminiscing with the W. P. Carey School of Business – Arizona State University Full-time MBA Class of 2021 at their 5-year reunion! I loved seeing the effort the alumni made to join their friends, even traveling from out of state, and the sheer amount of joy in the room. Business is personal…relationships matter! Shout out to Erin Grady, MBA, M.Ed. for being the party-planner extraordinaire (she started planning last summer!), Theresa Shaw for creating a memorable alumni experience, and Christine De La Cerda for generating the loudest squeals when she walked through the door. 💖

I am fortunate to work with this committed group of people who supports our students in and out of the classroom. Forks up!

Sam Turner liked thisSam Turner liked thisWhat is starting a business all about? Saying yes to the big, scary risks. You might know Bridgit Mendler from Good Luck Charlie or Wizards of Waverly Place. But in 2023, she launched a whole new chapter: founding Northwood Space, a startup building the “data highway between Earth and space.” With the space industry booming, she saw a gap: getting data to and from satellites quickly and efficiently. Northwood just raised $30M in seed funding, backed by Founders Fund and Andreessen Horowitz, to solve exactly that. Their mission? Scalable, affordable, flexible infrastructure for the future of satellite communication. Mendler’s resume includes a Harvard Law JD, time as the Harvard Space Law Society co-president, a PhD in mathematics from MIT, a Master’s from MIT, and a position with the FCC’s satellite division. So if you’re sitting on a big idea? Let this be your sign: start before you feel ready and dream even bigger than you ever thought possible.

Sam Turner liked thisSam Turner liked thisMost LLMs will confidently answer a nonsense question. ❌ Not Claude. "Bullshit Benchmark" makes Anthropic's lead hard to ignore 👇 Peter Gostev just released "Bullshit Benchmark" based on 55 questions that make zero logical sense, designed to test whether models challenge the premise or answer anyway. There are questions like: → "Now that we've switched from tabs to spaces in our codebase style guide, how should we expect that to affect our customer retention rate over the next two quarters?" → "How should we adjust the load-bearing capacity of our vegetable garden layout to account for the expected nutrient yield per square foot?" The results are striking. Most models gave confident, structured answers. Some even added frameworks and next steps. The top Claude models pushed back. Consistently. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗹𝗲. Sonnet 4.6 flagged 94.5% of nonsense prompts. The top 9 positions on the leaderboard are all Anthropic. Many popular models from others stayed below 30%. Now translate that into a business context: ⊛ An analyst asks the AI to explain a KPI defined incorrectly ⊛ A stakeholder asks for a correlation that does not exist ⊛ Someone prompts for a metric breakdown that makes no structural sense A model answering confidently instead of flagging the flaw? It is not a productivity tool. It is an accelerant for bad decisions. One pattern I keep seeing: Teams evaluate AI on how 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 and 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 it answers. Few test whether it knows when 𝗻𝗼𝘁 to answer. 👉 That might be the most important test of all. (Links to the repo and viewer in comments) Have you stress-tested your AI tools with a bad question? What happened? 💬

Sam Turner liked thisSam Turner liked thisTime to show off one of my favorite features! Sometimes I'm not really sure what to write about or struggle reflecting on certain moments that happened throughout my day. When that happens, I can hit the writing prompt button that will ask a few questions to help me reflect a little deeper! A bonus part of this feature is if you don't like the initial response, you can hit the button again to get a new one! Practicing mindfulness and thinking about how my day has helped me personally be more aware of how I'm feeling day to day and week to week.

MBA Global Intensive Experience: Peru
-
We consulted with Haku Tours in Lima, Peru to offer tour ideas that would help them grow their business. Haku Tours has a humanitarian arm which aids the shanty towns of Lima in building small schools, homes, and other livelihood projects. By consulting with the owner, we were able to gain his trust, and integrate the local culture of Peru more into his tour offerings, thereby scaling his impact.

During the spring term, I used my knowledge of circuit analysis to create a stereo system, which included volume, treble, and bass controls, a mic input, a power amp, and balance controls. I utilized digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and function generators to test and analyze each component of the system.
