I love food, especially burgers, but I would have to drive 45 minutes to get a good one,\u201d Gabriella says, taking a bite out of an amazing Stacks burger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy brother-in-law had a spare truck, so we decided to make it a burger van. I found a place to park for free because a kind local resident was happy to help an entrepreneur. I used to wake up every morning and rush to buy bread buns from the local store. I remember fighting with one lady as we both grabbed the last pack at the same time. We nearly got into a full-on fistfight! It wasn\u2019t long before I made friends with the shop assistant, and she began to hide the buns away so that no-one else could buy them\u201d, she says with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>What an awesome entrepreneurial spirit&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would do all the preparation in the morning: cut the vegetables, prepare the meat, get the van ready, then my boyfriend would work in the truck after he finished work. I\u2019d work on my thesis while juggling the orders that were coming in at the same time. We hired a friend to be our deliveryman, and he kept all of his tips. I\u2019d make sure to ask all the people who ordered food to tip him. That was really important to me. I loved my food truck, but we closed it down after college as I wanted to chase my dream.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hearing Gabriella\u2019s story made me smile.\u00a0 It was truly inspirational.\u00a0 I wanted to hear more about what her life was about, and what made her choose to do an MBA at Hult International Business School. Interestingly, she didn\u2019t think her story was that inspiring, and yet I was completely blown away by how brave and entrepreneurial she is. Having worked for a big corporation myself for the last five years, where it\u2019s been hard to implement change, it made me want to go out and make something happen. Heck, it really made me want to start a business\u2026it made me think about what the first step would need to be to start something real.<\/p>\n<p>This was just one of the stories I have heard from the amazing group of people I have met so far on my MBA. It was so impactful that it occurred to me that I might be on to a good thing! What better way to really get to know my colleagues on the programme, and be inspired at the same time, than by telling their stories alongside mine. So, I will come back to Gabriella shortly, but first, let me talk about Mario.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_547\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" data-shortcode=\"caption\">\n<p><img class=\" wp-image-547 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/aarontravelblog.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/11\/img_9826.jpg?w=345&amp;h=345\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aarontravelblog.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/11\/img_9826.jpg?w=345&amp;h=345 345w, https:\/\/aarontravelblog.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/11\/img_9826.jpg?w=150&amp;h=150 150w, https:\/\/aarontravelblog.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/11\/img_9826.jpg?w=300&amp;h=300 300w, https:\/\/aarontravelblog.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/11\/img_9826.jpg 640w\" alt=\"IMG_9826\" width=\"345\" height=\"345\" data-attachment-id=\"547\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/aarontravelblog.wordpress.com\/2017\/11\/13\/stories\/img_9826\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/aarontravelblog.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/11\/img_9826.jpg?w=345&amp;h=345\" data-orig-size=\"640,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_9826\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/aarontravelblog.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/11\/img_9826.jpg?w=345&amp;h=345?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/aarontravelblog.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/11\/img_9826.jpg?w=345&amp;h=345?w=490\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Halloween Mario Characters<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Story 2: Mario, the communicator<\/h2>\n<p>Mario BVG, 39 from Italy, has enthused me through his stories, his energy, and his insights. From day 1, I knew he was going to be an important person on my MBA journey. Mario is a hotel manager, investor, chef extraordinaire, and an unbelievably nice guy. \u00a0Before Hult, he was General Manager of a luxury California-owned hotel where he spent four years managing 800+ staff at a Barbados resort. He worked his way up through the ranks of hotel management, starting out as a waiter. Before that, he&#8217;d qualified as a lawyer and had trained as a chef. Neither of those career paths felt right to him, although he said the training was invaluable. He is now an investor in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanjuicecompany.com\/\">American Juice Company<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 \u00a0check them out! If you are a bar owner, or just like to make good cocktails, the product is fantastic and you&#8217;d be helping a great start-up to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Mario probably won&#8217;t appreciate me telling you this, but I&#8217;m going to anyway\u2026<\/p>\n<p>He once told me a story about how he was brought into a hotel chain which was closing down to deal with all the redundancies. Whilst he was speaking and telling his tale, his voice was low and calm and I could feel his compassion. It definitely was not an easy thing to do, but that was the task at hand and he got on with it knowing that he wasn\u2019t the bad guy.<\/p>\n<p>Mario builds immediate connections with people and does everything with a smile on his face. No-one on the course has a bad word to say about him. I really admire his thirst for learning and quest to find what he is searching for. In the process, he is inspiring us all with his stories and his nature.<\/p>\n<h2>Story 3: Myles, the voice of reason<\/h2>\n<p>Myles, 32 from Australia, worked in Executive Search in Dubai for the last 8 years. Travelling often, placing people in various glamorous Middle Eastern, African and Asian locations, Myles has a desire to enact real change in organizations, which I believe is part of the reason he has joined Hult. One particular moment which comes to mind is when we were studying for our Organizational Behavior mid-term. He probably won\u2019t even remember this, but I certainly do\u2026 Sitting in 414 (our favorite study room), discussing \u201cmotivational theories\u201d, we had come to answer the same question from various different angles. We were really challenging each other, to the point of disagreement. Then, in a flash, he summarised an answer which encapsulated what we were both raising so perfectly. It\u2019s that astute ability to understand, focus and encompass key points in our studies that I am trying to emulate and learn from him. Myles has tonnes of stories to tell, about ex-pat life, or about the interesting Executives that he has placed around the world. It is those stories that make me want to hear more.<\/p>\n<p>These are just three people I\u2019ve met on the MBA. Everyone I have built connections with here and over the years have had an impact on me in so many different ways. I realize that I have not always taken the time, and for whatever reason, to really deeply get to know my colleagues and sometimes my friends. This experience has made me truly curious to get to know more about my fellow colleagues at Hult, with their many and diverse backgrounds. And I know it\u2019s up to me to build deeper connections, and hopefully to contribute to their stories going forward.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to leave you with one last story that Gabriella told me yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I travel, I love to read. I go on most trips on my own and I stay in the cheapest place possible for the majority of the trip\u2013a hostel or a cheap motel if I can. I then treat myself on the last night to 5* service, always making sure to eat in the best restaurants along the way\u2026\u201d [I do the same!]. \u201cWhenever I leave a hostel, I leave a book behind that I have finished with a note in it. That way, people can be in touch with me in the future if we have connected through the book. I left one of my favorite books, \u2018Dancing with Reality\u2019, in a hostel in Thailand. It made a difference to my life and I wanted to share it with others. One year later, a girl from Argentina called me and said that the book changed her life. I knew then that what I was doing was the right thing\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>We all have the opportunity to learn from others and to let others impact on our lives, but we often hold back. I hope these reflections will help me (and you) to be more open and inquisitive, and if I\u2019m not, please remind me! Perhaps I will one day write lots more of these stories\u2026 all I need is one person to inspire me every day of the rest of my life.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;You don\u2019t just have a story \u2013 you\u2019re a story in the making, and you never know what the next chapter\u2019s going to be.
