Ep 6. Landon Eyre - Duke Fuqua: Life Enrichment Now

🎙️ Welcome to Get to B-School!

Today’s episode is all about fighting for your spot, staying focused, and making an MBA about more than just career growth. Our guest, Landon Eyre, didn’t just get into business school—he fought his way in, turning a waitlist spot at Duke Fuqua into an acceptance through sheer persistence, strategic networking, and a deep understanding of what schools really look for.

But for Landon, getting in was just the beginning. In this episode, we dive into:
🔹 How he turned a waitlist into an acceptance (and what most applicants get wrong)
🔹 Why life enrichment—not just career advancement—was his real reason for an MBA
🔹 The hidden challenge of business school: Scope creep (and how to stay focused when everyone around you is chasing consulting & banking)
🔹 Why internships are often harder to land than full-time jobs

Landon shares hard-won lessons on persistence, decision-making, and making the MBA experience truly worthwhile. If you’re navigating applications, debating whether an MBA is right for you, or struggling to stay focused on what you actually want—this episode is for you.
