The Popcorn MBA: From the Big Screen to the Boardroom

What do Rocky, Barbie, and Gordon Gekko have in common?

They’ve all got something to teach you about business.

The Popcorn MBA is where film meets the boardroom. It’s not a textbook. It’s not a business seminar in disguise. It’s a fast-paced, sharply written, joyfully cinematic guide to the lessons that really stick… the ones wrapped in dialogue, drama, and the occasional explosion.

Inside, you’ll find:

Real business insight from fictional characters

Stories that sharpen your thinking on leadership, strategy, and resilience

Lessons that land harder than any corporate keynote

No jargon. No waffle. Just scenes that hit different

Whether you’re running a business, leading a team, or just trying to stay awake in your third meeting of the day, this book offers a smarter, more memorable way to learn.

Because sometimes the best business school… is the one with popcorn.
