The Veteran MBA Playbook: A Candid Q&A on Admissions, ROI, & Career Paths [8/18/2026] (Recording)

Join us for The Veteran MBA Playbook: A Candid Q&A on Admissions, ROI, & Career Paths, an engaging live conversation built to help service members and veterans cut through the confusion and decide whether an MBA is truly the right next move. This is not a generic admissions presentation. It is a candid, practical discussion about what an MBA can actually do for your career, how to choose the right program, and how to avoid costly mistakes before applying. Attendees will learn how to evaluate the real return on investment of an MBA, determine the best timing and program format, translate military leadership into language admissions teams and employers understand, and compare full-time, part-time, executive, and dual-degree options. The session will also explore career opportunities for veterans, school reputation, alumni networks, job placement, Post-9/11 GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon benefits, hidden program costs, and whether factors such as rank, MOS, or quantitative experience affect admission. Whether you are actively preparing to apply or simply wondering whether an MBA belongs in your future, this livestream will give you clearer answers, greater confidence, and direct access to professionals who understand both MBA admissions and the military-to-civilian transition. Join UVA Darden admissions leader Brett Twitty and veteran executive coach Patrick “Paddy” Weeks for a moderated Q&A on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. ET. Bring your questions and leave with a stronger game plan for your education and career.

Coffee Chats: A Primer [8/25/2026] (Recording)

A coffee chat is a fifteen to thirty minute conversation with a banker. Casual in tone, evaluative in function. Treat it as an interview no matter how it was framed. That is the part people get wrong in both directions. Some show up stiff and over-rehearsed. Others hear "coffee" and show up with nothing. What is actually happening is simpler. First rounds go to candidates someone inside is pushing, and that push starts on this call. You are on it to do four things. Collect intelligence you will reuse later, turn the banker into an ally, form your own read on the group, and leave with the name of the next person to talk to. What we'll cover: - What a coffee chat is for, and the four things you are there to do - Why the first five minutes carry more weight than the rest - Tuning your questions to an analyst versus a VP or an MD - The two kinds of questions that land badly, and what to ask instead - What kills a call, including the topics to stay off - Ending on the ask, and how one chat becomes the next two Want to walk into these calls actually ready? Check out my Coffee Chat Ready package. Book a free 15-minute intro to see if it is a good fit. Part 3 of Coffee Chat Ready, a six part run on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Each one stands alone, so jump in anywhere. I'm the founder of OFFERGOBLIN and ex-Centerview tech.
