Nuno Fernandes, President of American Public University System (APUS), joins our host, Joe Gottlieb, for an inspiring conversation on leading with purpose, resourcefulness, and humanity. With a unique path from humble beginnings in Portugal to the helm of one of the largest online universities in the U.S., Fernandes shares how his global journey shaped his passion for accessible, affordable education.
Listeners will learn how APUS innovates under financial constraints, why cultivating a culture of kindness and trust is central to organizational success, and how clear vision and shared values fuel meaningful transformation at scale. Fernandes offers honest reflections on leadership, the power of listening, and why change—when led with heart and discipline—can be a force for good in higher education.
