Manage Your MBA Application Stress

As someone who works closely with dozens of MBA applicants every year, one of the biggest differentiators among successful candidates is their ability to manage anxiety from multiple angles. Recommender hasn't gotten back in two weeks? Not sure where to begin on essays? Have to take the GRE or GMAT again after a tough score? Read something on Reddit that made you feel you're destined for rejection? It's a lot. Tons of moving parts, some not entirely within your control. From start to finish, I've seen candidates struggle with everything from sleep to self-worth. But that doesn't have to be you. Taking on the part-time job of MBA applications doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your well-being. This is where functional research and getting a grip on our health can make a world of a difference. Partnering with Rachel—a Certified Health Coach and nutrition expert—to tackle my own health has given me a deeper understanding of how my body works, and how to make good choices. After we speak to the sources of our stress, Rachel will walk us through some key physical and behavioral signs we should be aware of, and targeted strategies to keeping you healthy during (and likely long after) your MBA apps are in. We're hoping to build this event into a long-term series, so this should be the first of many. Look forward to de-stressing with you, and hopefully having some fun too.

Save $100k+ vs US: Europe Master's with Fulbright Funding- Application [3/5/2026] (Recording)

Top-ranked European institutions offer world-class master's degrees that save Americans $93,000 to $161,000 compared to equivalent-ranked US graduate programs. I understand this journey firsthand: I was a Fulbright scholar myself. What unites successful recipients? They discovered that Americans have significantly higher Fulbright acceptance rates than any other prestigious international scholarship, and with good strategy, your chances are quite high. European universities combine academic excellence with financial accessibility. Hundreds of top-ranked institutions offer English-taught master's programs with clear pathways to meaningful careers. The financial impact is transformative: saving $100,000+ on graduate education is equivalent to having more than $1,000 per month in additional disposable income for the next 10 years. You gain not just a degree, but entry into one of the most prestigious international networks while making significant international experience. With post-study work visas up to 36 months, European employers increasingly recruit international master's graduates, creating unprecedented opportunities for ambitious graduates. Now is the time to act: preparation work for the 2027-2028 Fulbright cycle begins in February 2026, applications open in April, and most students face campus pre-selection deadlines in August before the October national deadline. Join me for this free event where we cover strategic country selection, application components, timeline preparation, post-graduation employment pathways, and real cost comparisons with equivalent-ranked US programs. What if this high-quality, fully-funded path to advanced education and a European career is exactly your calling?
