In this episode, we sit down with three Executive PhD students from FAU Executive Education, Bernt Klein, Britta Kelley, and Danita DeHaney, to explore why experienced professionals choose to pursue a doctoral degree while actively leading in their industries.

They share what motivated them to take on the challenge, how the program keeps them sharp and relevant, and how academic research is helping them elevate boardroom conversations, strategic decisions, and leadership impact.

This isn’t just about earning a credential. It’s about integrating rigorous scholarship into real-world business practice.
