Today’s episode is a mix of intense fun and intense hustle. Our guest, Connor Crandall, just graduated from Wharton, and his story is a masterclass in perseverance, focus, and chasing adventure along the way.
Connor spent nearly five years preparing for the MBA journey—starting back in undergrad and grinding through multiple admissions tests (he switched from the GMAT to the GRE midstream). And once he got to Wharton, he didn’t slow down.
In this episode, we dive into:
🔹 His 14-week sprint to pivot from megafund to mid-market private equity—there was no shortage of weekend work
🔹 How he balanced hardcore career goals with epic travel, including snowboarding in Japan, surfing in El Salvador, and biking in Spain
🔹 The mindset it took to stay locked in for years while still keeping life joyful and full of movement
Connor’s journey is a perfect example of what it looks like to work hard, play hard, and live intentionally.
