In 2012, Corey Sousa established his first company, Revline Fitness, in Montréal, Québec, Canada. It evolved quickly from a one-man team offering personal in-home training sessions to a committed staff opening a gym in December 2014.
Despite the headway he had made down an exciting career path, Sousa wanted his MBA. He filled the few hours he wasn’t at the gym with books about strategy and entrepreneurship from authors like Seth Godin and Tim Ferriss. With a closer look, he realized these ideas that appealed to him were deeply rooted in the principles and teachings of Peter Drucker. When he learned about the Drucker School, its humanistic approach to management, and its proximity to Los Angeles, Sousa went all in. He sold his condo, his car, and his company, and relocated to Southern California.
Since coming to the Drucker School, Sousa has had new opportunities for self and professional development. He is learning how to adopt a larger scale perspective and how to implement strategy as an entrepreneur, concepts that have benefitted Sousa’s recent work with Tony Horton, creator of the bestselling workout series P90X. He knows a Drucker MBA will distinguish him in the fitness world, and is open-minded about the future. No matter the path he chooses, he will carry the mantra of letting go and moving on, inspired by his favorite Drucker quote: “Regularly abandon things––products, policies, practices––that are no longer effective or are consuming an inordinate amount of resources when weighed against tomorrow’s opportunities.”
