McGill Desautels alumna Ruchy Khurana (BA’02, MBA’06) has spent a lot of time considering the mentor-mentee relationship and the mentee mindset.

Tune in as Khurana shares these insights and more with undergraduate student Manisha Saha in this first episode of McGill Management Insights. Hosted by current students, this podcast explores everything from the value of mentorship to the four-day work week, leaning on the expertise of leaders in the business community.
