Carry Ambition Without Burnout: The Real Value of an MBA Today with John Cousins

Carry Ambition Without Burnout: The Real Value of an MBA Today with John Cousins

In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with entrepreneur and educator John Cousins, creator of MBA ASAP, to explore how to pursue big goals without frying your nervous system. If you feel stuck between wanting peace and wanting progress, this conversation will land.

This episode is for builders, career-switchers, and anyone questioning whether traditional higher education is worth the cost. John breaks down when an MBA is a smart shortcut, when it becomes an expensive status purchase, and how simplified business fundamentals can boost confidence and execution.

About the Guest:

John Cousins is an MIT-trained engineer and Wharton MBA who has started roughly 15 companies, including two public companies. He teaches practical business skills online through MBA ASAP and has reached 37,000+ students globally via Udemy.

Key Takeaways:
  • Use “risk vs safety” thinking: a stable job can still be high risk if the company changes fast

  • Decide MBA value by outcome: prestige-track jobs vs entrepreneurship and self-directed paths

  • Learn business basics first (financial statements, product-market fit) to reduce overwhelm

  • Use video learning strategically: pause, replay, and master concepts instead of memorizing

  • Build optionality: broad skills create more choices and lower fear of starting over
