FBS 57 The 6-Month Essentials Program - Apply Now!

In this episode of the FBS Podcast, listeners get an inside look at the flagship 6-Month Essentials Program of Study as applications officially open for the 2026–27 cohorts. Directed at mid-career rural and forest-sector business owners, theepisode discusses how this structured remote program helps working professionals transition from skilled technical experts to highly capable business decision-makers and leaders. The discussion outlines the Socratic, lecture-free approach where a tight peer group tackles critical topics—such asoperational improvement, financial literacy, sales, project management, and productive habits—and remains a supportive alumni network long after the six months wrap up. Listeners are also given a candid warning about applicantexpectations, highlighting that space is limited and reserved only for mature, responsive, and highly committed adults who do the work and communicate professionally. Finally, the episode highlights that the upcoming session running from October 2026 to March 2027 is the last Vermont-specific cohort before the program moves entirely national, directing Vermont applicants to www.vtfbs.com and national applicants to www.forestenterprise.orgto apply.
