MBA student Deen Ajayi joins us for a conversation about emotional intelligence that goes way past empathy. Deen shares how his thinking of EQ has recently shifted as pays attention to things like self-expression, decision making, and how others read you. And he tells a story about his car being towed after a long day and responding in a way neither of us saw coming. It’s an honest, grounded look at regulation, presence, and the quiet impact those skills can have on how you study, lead, and move through the program.
