Join live to hear from a Leland customer who successfully built an app for celiac disease management without any coding experience. The speaker will share their end-to-end journey, practical tips for building with AI as a beginner, and the mindset shifts that helped turn an idea into reality. Expect an honest look at what's possible when you combine curiosity with today's AI tools.

Inside the Interview Room: Crack Case Math with an Ex-McKinsey & HBS MBA [7/30/2026] (Recording)

Case math is where the most prepared candidates still lose points. The maths itself usually isn't hard. What separates a strong answer from a weak one is how you set it up, how you talk through it, and how you land the so-what at the end. In this live session, I'll walk you through 2-3 real MBB-style math problems. A break-even calculation, a growth projection, and a unit economics question. For each one, I'll show you how I'd approach it as an ex-McKinsey consultant. Where to start, how to structure the work, what interviewers actually score, and the small habits that signal a top candidate vs. an average one.

Think Like an AI Builder, Ship Like a Founder: A Practical Playbook for Building at Speed [9/17/2026] (Recording)

AI has compressed every stage of product work: research synthesis and idea drafting that used to take days now take an afternoon; prototypes that used to require an engineering team can be built solo before lunch; and the bar for what counts as a “good enough” AI feature has been rewritten entirely. We'll walk through what's actually changed at each stage (e.g., discovery, building, and evaluating), why judging an AI feature requires a different playbook than judging a traditional one, and what all of this means for how PMs and product-minded builders get hired and get ahead right now. TARGET AUDIENCE Current and aspiring product managers, and early-stage founders or builders, who want to use AI across the full arc of product development (from discovery through shipping) not just as a coding shortcut. No coding background required; the talk is built for people who make product decisions, not just people who implement them. WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES By the end of this session, you’ll: ● Walk away with a repeatable process for building and shipping fast, not just a list of tools to try later. ● Learn to tell a good AI feature from a lucky one, with a real evaluation framework you can use ● Get a head start on the new AI-era hiring bar for product roles

GMAT Quant Isn't About Math: The 4 Skills That Decide Your Quant Score [6/16/2026] (Recording)

About this event You've done hundreds of problems. You know the formulas. Your score isn't moving. Here's why: the GMAT isn't actually testing your math. The math on Quant is high school level — it has to be, because there's no calculator. What separates a 600 from a 700+ isn't more content knowledge. It's the four test-taking skills that decide how every problem unfolds: how you choose your path, how you manage time, how you handle stress, and how you maintain focus across 45 minutes. In this 60-minute session, we'll deep-dive each of those four skills using the same framework I use with my 1:1 students on Leland. You'll see live problem walkthroughs showing the difference between a 4-minute "compute the obvious thing" path and a 20-second "make your life easy" path — and you'll learn the single mental move that makes the second one feel natural. By the end, you'll have a personalized diagnostic of your own weakest skill — and a concrete 4-week plan to actually move your score. --------------------------------------- What you'll learn Why "more practice" doesn't fix the plateau — and what does The 4 Test-Taking Abilities behind every top score (Strategy / Methodology, Time Management, Stress Management, Focus) and how each one maps onto specific in-the-moment moves The one mental question to ask before every Quant problem that re-routes you from the long path to the short one The skip decision framework — when to invest, when to bank time, and how to make the call at the 1-minute mark instead of the 2-minute mark An anti-paralysis protocol for the moment you go blank on test day Your personal TTA profile via 3 live polls — including a 4-question diagnostic that tells you exactly where your prep should focus next --------------------------------------- What you'll walk away with A clear picture of your weakest skill out of the four — and why it's almost certainly the lever that will move your score the most A calibrated 4-week prep plan A short list of pattern-recognition moves you can use on your very next practice session --------------------------------------- Who this event is for - Pre-test or mid-prep MBA applicants targeting 700+ - Students who have plateaued despite putting in significant prep hours - Anyone whose mock scores consistently trail their practice scores by 5+ points - Students who have done content review and want to know what to do next This is not a content-review session. We will not cover formulas, definitions, or "how to solve a quadratic." If you're at the foundational-content stage, this event will be most useful after you've done your first content pass. --------------------------------------- Format 60 minutes, live Fully worked problems demonstrating compute-first vs. think-first approaches Open Q&A at the end --------------------------------------- About the host Josh P. is a GMAT coach on Leland who works with students across all three sections — Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Data Insights. He has developed a structured methodology for diagnosing and addressing the test-taking skills that determine scores — refined across hundreds of 1:1 students over multiple years. The four-skill framework taught in this event applies across the whole test; tonight we focus it on Quant. His students span pre-MBA candidates targeting top-10 programs, professionals returning to the test after a long gap, and applicants who have hit a plateau and need a fresh diagnostic to break through.
