I manage a team of 11 writers, editors, and videographers who create content for an audience of around 10 million people a month. I also host an investigative true crime podcast for USA TODAY called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesneakpodcast.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Sneak<\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019ve worked in and around digital media for most of my career. Just out of school I was briefly on the academic track. I earned a Master\u2019s in English Literature at Tulane University, but then decided I would hold off on teaching or a PhD for a bit and give it a go as a writer. There were a few (pretty destitute) years where I had a personal blog and eked it out, but eventually I got some chances at bigger publications \u2014 ESPN, Newsweek, The Daily Beast \u2014 and then corralled that into jobs with Fox Sports, Vox Media, and now USA TODAY.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: How did you decide to pursue an MBA?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A: I wanted to pursue an MBA for reasons that range from big and large-hearted to mundane and very practical. The large-hearted reasoning was that I was worried about the future of journalism. It\u2019s a scary time for my industry for lots of reasons, but one I noted was this breakdown in communication between the business side and the editorial side. Traditionally in journalism we\u2019ve kept that divide, our own industry-wide separation of church and state. Yet sitting in meetings between the two, it seemed to me that the two sides were speaking almost different languages \u2014 two teams that should in theory be working together, or at least understanding one another, if we were going to innovate and compete for subscribers, advertiser dollars, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That leads to the mundane reason I wanted to apply: I honestly didn\u2019t know what our sales and finance teams were talking about a lot of the time. I needed to understand the lexicon and core concepts to push forward new ideas or contribute meaningfully to the conversation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What led you to Darden? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: At first I was led to Darden by its reputation and the fact that I\u2019m based in Washington, D.C. After meeting with Admissions Committee member Katherine Alford, I was totally won over. I very much do not have a \u201ctraditional\u201d background for an MBA candidate, yet Katherine made clear to me that was the very reason I was a compelling candidate. More so than any other school, Darden made clear to me that they wanted me <i>because<\/i> I brought a unique perspective and background. Several times during the application process I said myself <i>\u201cWhat are you even doing? You run a sports blog. Let\u2019s not embarrass yourself, eh Nate?\u201d\u00a0 <\/i>But the Admission Office\u2019s confidence in me gave me the confidence in myself to apply and then enroll.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What has been the impact of your Darden experience so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A: At work, simply enrolling in the MBA program has given my colleagues a new understanding of what I\u2019m interested in and what I\u2019m capable of. I\u2019m being entrusted with new responsibilities already, just a semester into the program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At school, the professors are amazing, but it\u2019s my cohort that has truly changed me for the better. Specifically my learning team, a collection of four other brilliant, kind, incredibly accomplished people who have challenged me, supported me and given me confidence in my ability to \u2026 do Accounting, for example. They\u2019ve gone from study buddies to friends to confidants and career coaches, all in the span of a few months. Having that support system has proven invaluable, and meeting them alone has validated my decision to come here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What is your best piece of advice for prospective students?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A: My biggest piece of advice is to trust in your own abilities and know that, whatever your background, you can contribute in really meaningful ways. I\u2019m a reporter with a literature background who hadn\u2019t taken a math class since I passed the AP Calculus exam, and coming in, I wasn\u2019t certain that I could contribute anything of value to my classmates. Yet I have, in ways I couldn\u2019t have anticipated, and it was that very background that allowed me to do that. Trust the Admissions Office \u2014 if they admit you, it\u2019s for a reason. They believe in your abilities, and you will have chances to shine. Trust them, and trust yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Be sure to consult the\u00a0<a style=\"text-decoration: none;background-color: transparent;color: #e57200\" href=\"https:\/\/news.darden.virginia.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Latest News<\/a>\u00a0regularly for the most updated news releases and media hits.\u00a0<\/em><em>Check out faculty thought leadership published on\u00a0<a style=\"text-decoration: none;background-color: transparent;color: #e57200\" href=\"http:\/\/ideas.darden.virginia.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ideas to Action<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><em>And stay connected with us via social media:\u00a0<a style=\"text-decoration: none;background-color: transparent;color: #e57200\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DardenMBA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0<a style=\"text-decoration: none;background-color: transparent;color: #e57200\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dardenmba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0<a style=\"text-decoration: none;background-color: transparent;color: #e57200\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/edu\/school?id=19605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a>,\u00a0<a style=\"text-decoration: none;background-color: transparent;color: #e57200\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DardenMBA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0<a style=\"text-decoration: none;background-color: transparent;color: #e57200\" href=\"http:\/\/brand.darden.virginia.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/qrcode_for_gh_23920314812f_860.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WeChat<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Executive MBA profile series continues with a Q&amp;A with First Year Executive MBA student Nate Scott (Class of 2022).
