What's 10x Better Than An MBA From Harvard?
It used to be the case that if you wanted to learn about business or leadership, you kind of needed to go to business school. And I've been fortunate to study some courses at some of the best
Don't read this post if you have a spare two years and £127,000. That's what it costs and how long it takes to get an MBA from Harvard. And, that's just the tuition, before you've got yourself there, lived anywhere, socialised or bought a single textbook.
Wow. What a racket.
You see, it used to be the case that if you wanted to learn about business or leadership, you kind of needed to go to business school. And I've been fortunate to study some courses at some of the best:
- Improvement Theory with Warwick University Business School
- Leadership with Ashridge Business School
- Innovation at INSEAD (Paris).
But here's the thing. There's nothing that any of those schools teach, that isn't freely available on the Internet in 2025. And, the best thing about all of the courses is the people you meet while you are there.
Being in community with people who want to improve themselves, push each other and help one another to succeed is an amazing thing to experience. It's where I have grown the most as a leader and as a business owner.
But here's another thing. With modern technology, you don't need to travel half way across the world to be in community with people who inspire you. The Internet was built to bring us together.
That's why I have built HeRO Academy. It's an online version of all the best bits of a business school for a fraction of the price. Less than £95 a month instead of £5,000 a month. Yes, it probably should cost more and maybe it will one day.
But, for now, if you want to know more, see the pitch below. I've got 10 places to fill this month. Will you claim yours?

PS My maths is off in the headline. It's 51x better value than Harvard.
