In a remarkable coup, President Trump has endorsed me, the MBA Pathway and taken minutes out of his busy Executive Time to impart selected wisdom from ‘The Art of the Deal’.

My good chum Dave provides this unsolicited rumination on how - even in a busy military post - academic study can complement your enjoyment of life. But beware, academic study can be addictive (especially when I’m involved!).
