Shownotes

What happens when a Wharton MBA tears up his diploma on camera… and hands the keys to a new company to an 18-year-old with zero business experience?

You get the Anti-MBA movement — and the birth of One on One Media.

In today’s episode, Joe sits down with David R. Guttman, serial founder, investor, and servant-leadership advocate… and Anna Prudchenko, the 18-year-old who went from summer intern to CEO in just three weeks.

This episode challenges everything you’ve been taught about education, leadership, career paths, and what it really takes to build something meaningful.

If you have kids… if you're questioning college… if you're a founder trying to hire better… or if you’re rebuilding your identity as a leader — this one is mandatory.
