From Wednesday, May 29, to Saturday, June 1, Chip and Joanna were immersed in the Harvard campus, attending this prestigious program. The course, priced at $10,000, focuses on teaching students how to "develop and execute more effective business strategies," "debate and analyze the business and technology trends that are redefining the industry," and "learn how to launch and manage creative products and portfolios more strategically." It's clear that Harvard isn’t messing around when it comes to educating future industry leaders.
It wasn’t just Chip and Jo in class; they were in good company. Other notable attendees included singer Ciara, actor Eric Olsen, Australian soccer star Tim Cahill, German soccer legend Oliver Kahn, and NBA players Kevin Love, Luc Mbah a Moute, and Julius Randle. Talk about an all-star lineup!
Joanna Shares Her Experience
On Saturday, Joanna took to Instagram once again to give her followers a behind-the-scenes look at their Harvard experience. She captioned her post, "What we witnessed this week at @harvardhbs was human beings at their very finest. 85 people from all around the world, from all different walks of life, with different cultural backgrounds, religions, political beliefs, and professions." It’s like a melting pot of global talent and perspectives!
View this post on InstagramWhat we witnessed this week at @harvardhbs was human beings at their very finest. 85 people from all around the world, from all different walks of lives, with different cultural backgrounds, religions, political beliefs and professions. We learned from one another and spoke into each other's lives, sometimes challenging but always valuing every perspective. Not a single one of us were alike, and yet by doing something as simple as listening to and respecting one another, we were challenged and made better. Thankful for this opportunity @anitaelberse – your leadership and your passion caused grown, busy adults to think with curiosity about our own businesses and about the world around us. Oh and one more thing… I know I might be biased but I'd like to officially cast my vote for Chip as CLASS PREZ. #ChipForPrez (Photo by @evephoto ) #bems

Learning From Each Other
Joanna went on to explain how each participant brought something unique to the table. "We learned from one another and spoke into each other’s lives, sometimes challenging but always valuing every perspective," she wrote. "Not a single one of us were alike, and yet by doing something as simple as listening to and respecting one another, we were challenged and made better." It sounds like they didn’t just learn about business; they learned about humanity.
Shout-Out to Professor Anita Elberse
Joanna also took a moment to express her gratitude towards Harvard professor Anita Elberse, who runs the BEMS program. "Your leadership and your passion caused grown, busy adults to think with curiosity about our own businesses and about the world around us," Joanna said. It seems like Professor Elberse had a profound impact on the participants, encouraging them to think outside the box.
Fans were quick to jump into the comments section to shower Joanna and Chip with praise. "Words we should all live by. Thank you for putting them out there," one fan wrote. Another added, "What an awesome experience! Can’t wait to see what comes next as a result. I’m sure something magical!" Clearly, the Gaines couple continues to inspire and motivate their followers.
Chip and Joanna Gaines are nothing short of inspiring. They’re not just flipping houses anymore; they’re flipping the script on what it means to be successful and well-rounded individuals. Here's to their continued success!
