UCLA Anderson Executive MBA
Celebrate 2026
A UCLA Anderson Executive MBA storytelling series created to help classmates know the people behind the résumés.
A community storytelling project
Celebrate 2026 is separate from 5% Conversations. It was created for the UCLA Anderson Executive MBA community as part of the Drive Time podcast series.
The idea was simple: help classmates move beyond names, roles and résumés, and hear the experiences that shaped the people sharing the programme with them.
Hosting these conversations became one of the most meaningful parts of my Anderson journey. Each episode created space for a classmate to reflect on leadership, career, family, change and the path that brought them to UCLA.
The project now has its own website, while UCLA Anderson hosts the official Drive Time podcast page.
