  1. My Journey from Google to LA28

    My Journey from Google to LA28

    Share Success: Incredible. Get your tissues because there SO much love in Barbara’s story: following her heart with Google from Brazil to LA, going through FEMBA (secretly!?!) with her husband Victor, falling in love with LA, taking the leap of faith to leave the juggernaut of Google to fly into the world of LA28 after an Anderson class that changed her life. Barbara’s story is 100% a telling of what makes America a destination for talent from around the world. We are lucky to have her (and Victor...!)...and their doggy! Featuring: Barbara Alves ('26) with Salo Steinvortz ('26)   More episodes here anderson.ucla.edu/degrees/fully-employed-mba/culture/femba-drive-time-podcast

    Anderson Prepared Me: Anika Sharin (’20), Sr. Partnership Dev. Program Mgmt, Sight Sciences Inc.

    Anika Sharin (’20) has commuted from the Bay Area to L.A. for three years because she chose UCLA Anderson over UC Berkeley. She keeps her base up north because she was hired by fellow alumnus Paul Badawi (’00), who founded the Silicon Valley-based company Sight Sciences. “The way we talk about sharing success at Anderson,” says Sharin, “he is really doing that.” Now, as she prepares to graduate, Sharin reflects on her Anderson SuperSaturday admission interview experience, launching her own health care startup, being a powerful woman in tech and FEMBA puppies (of course). Featuring: Anika Sharin (’20), Senior Partnership Development Program Management, Sight Sciences Inc.   Hosted by Dylan Stafford, assistant dean and director of admissions of UCLA Anderson's Fully Employed MBA program (FEMBA), the Drive Time podcast features interviews with FEMBA alumni, current students, faculty and administrators who discuss leadership, work-life balance, entrepreneurship, career development and more.

    Drive Time Podcast: Ashley Merrill ('15), CEO/ Founder - Lunya Company

    Ashley Merrill (’15) launched her sleepwear business, Lunya, one month after starting business school in Anderson’s FEMBA Flex program — and a few weeks after finding out she was pregnant. She initially couldn’t picture how she’d manage all of it at once. “Confidence was one of the gifts of business school,” she says. “It wasn’t like I went to accounting class and that was the gift, it was feeling like I could wrap my head around business terminology, basic structures of business and leadership.” Now she is “reinventing sleepwear for the modern woman,” including some very recognizable figures.   Hosted by Dylan Stafford, assistant dean and director of admissions of UCLA Anderson's Fully Employed MBA program (FEMBA), the Drive Time podcast features interviews with FEMBA alumni, current students, faculty and administrators who discuss leadership, work-life balance, entrepreneurship, career development and more.

    From Marine to Movie Maker: Joel Searls (’17), Investment Banking Associate, McCafferty & Company

    Why does a U.S. Marine Corps veteran earn an MBA from UCLA Anderson? And what can his military training teach the rest of us about dealing with COVID-19? Joel Searls reflects on these topics as well as his decision to reinvent himself as an associate producer of a feature-length Hollywood movie, Running with the Devil (2019), starring Nicholas Cage and Laurence Fishburne.   Featuring: Joel Searls (’17), Investment Banking Associate, McCafferty & Company   Hosted by Dylan Stafford, assistant dean and director of admissions of UCLA Anderson's Fully Employed MBA program (FEMBA), the Drive Time podcast features interviews with FEMBA alumni, current students, faculty and administrators who discuss leadership, work-life balance, entrepreneurship, career development and more.   More episodes here: https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/degrees/fully-employed-mba/admissions/assistant-deans-advice/drive-time-podcasts
