What truly set the 12-week MBA program apart was its focus on application, not just theory. Through critical thinking and hands-on simulations, the program helped translate learning into action.

Featured Alumni Stories
The numbers tell part of the story. The real proof lives in the journeys of our alumni, professionals who translated new skills into meaningful career growth.
Martin JonesFrom Creative Producer to CEO-Level Operator
Martin Jones spent years in the trenches of the entertainment industry. He moved from the mailroom of Dirty Dancing to producing music videos for Snoop Dogg and Eddie Murphy.

But when he transitioned to Head of Austin Studios, he realized he needed a different kind of script. He knew how to direct, but he needed to master business skills. During the 12-Week MBA, Martin dove headfirst into balance sheets and financial simulations.

Outcome: Immediately after the program, Marty successfully steered Austin Studios through its largest and most transformative transaction ever. He didn't just master business skills; he changed his company's trajectory.
Paige MontemayorFrom HR to Business Pro
Paige was already a seasoned HR Business Partner, but she wanted to break out of the "people-only" box. She walked into the 12-Week MBA’s Enterprise Challenge simulation and was assigned the role of CEO of the fictitious Nanotel company. Most people play it safe; Paige went for the brass ring. Facing a high-stakes decision to acquire a competitor or stay the course, she leveraged her new financial literacy to dominate the simulated market. 

Outcome: The 12-Week MBA gave Paige the "battle-tested" confidence to own more than just the HR field. She’s now a leader in people management and mentoring, having shed any doubt that she belongs at the executive level.
Myron PeckThe Data Architect’s Executive Roadmap
Myron Peck was already a Data & Analytics Manager at Upbring, but he felt like he was hitting a glass ceiling. He had the technical chops, but the path to the C-suite felt blurry. Myron used the 12-Week MBA as a literal "roadmap" for his career. He focused on the People side of the curriculum—learning how to coordinate diverse teams to act as a single unit.

Outcome: The program provided the bridge between being a "data guy" and being a manager. It gave him the leadership skills needed to move from Analyst to Manager at Upbring with confidence and clarity.
Brent NewsomThe English PhD Who Cracked the Code
Brent is the ultimate proof that you can teach a "words person" how to dominate the "numbers world." With a PhD in English, Brent was a master of the written word —but financial spreadsheets felt like a foreign language. Through the 12-Week MBA’s Fluent in Finance module and AI-enabled simulations, Brent realized that management was just another form of storytelling using numbers.

Outcome: Brent transitioned from feeling "limited" in academia to being a program manager in a strategic role in the corporate world. He now understands the financial health of his institution better than the administrators, turning his PhD background into a unique advantage.
