Nuno Fernandes on Trust, Differentiation, and Personalization

The Actualized Self

What makes a university truly unique? And how do you scale trust in a crowded higher ed market?

In this episode, I sit down with Nuno Fernandes, President of American Public University System (APUS), to uncover the secrets behind their success as the #1 educator of U.S. service members and veterans.

We dive into:

  • The power of doubling down on your "core DNA."
  • Why most universities struggle with differentiation—and what they can do to stand out.
  • How APUS is building a personalized, 21st-century education platform for the modern learner.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone in higher ed looking to combine mission with innovation.
