In this episode of The Chōten Podcast, I sit down with John Cousins, CEO and creator of MBA ASAP, a platform dedicated to breaking down complex business concepts into simple, practical frameworks anyone can understand.

John has spent his career democratizing business education — making the essential lessons of an MBA accessible without the massive price tag, academic gatekeeping, or years of theory that don’t translate to the real world. His content has helped countless founders and operators learn the fundamentals they actually need to build and run a company.

We dive into:
🔥 Why traditional business education is outdated (and what should replace it)
🔥 The essential skills every founder needs to master
🔥 Why most entrepreneurs focus on the wrong things
🔥 How to think like a CEO, even if you’re just getting started
🔥 The mental models that separate successful founders from overwhelmed ones
🔥 How AI is transforming learning, decision-making, and entrepreneurship
🔥 Why the future belongs to those who can learn quickly and adapt even faster

John brings clarity, humor, and years of experience to the topics that matter most in business — without complicating them.

If you’ve ever wanted a straightforward path to understanding business, strategy, and what it really takes to be a founder… this episode is for you.
