Help Roadside MBA Find Growing Businesses in Kuala Lumpur

August 4, 2016 Filed Under: Utah Economist Blog

The Roadside MBA team will be embarking this fall on our third international trip!

In October, we will be headed for Asia with stops in Manila, Singapore, Jakarta, and… Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I’ve been assigned the task of lining up visits with growing businesses in Kuala Lumpur. And I need your help!

If you know businesspeople in Malaysia, or even if you know people who know people… I’d appreciate your help making contact!

Yeah TBH, Quin is one of the main examples I was thinking of. Incredible systems coach. Incredible development coach. But those Jazz teams played ONE way and had no idea what to do when a good team countered it. It was always his biggest weakness. twitter.com/Matt9204/statu…
