Episode 128 of The mbaMission Podcast is shared in memory of Mike McKay, who passed away shortly after this conversation was recorded. In it, mbaMission Senior Consultant Harold Simansky and mbaMission Founder Jeremy Shinewald speak with Mike, an advisory partner at Bain & Company who spent more than 30 years at the firm and helped establish its private equity group. A graduate of the University of Chicago, where he graduated first in his class, Mike made mentorship a defining part of his life: he taught private equity at Brandeis University for 12 years and, throughout his career, made time to guide colleagues and students who sought his advice. We are grateful to his family for allowing us to share this episode, and we remember Mike with great warmth.
