Actor-entrepreneur Matteo Guidicelli returned to Harvard Business School for another program, this time enrolling in the Creating Brand Value course.
"It's like two to three days in and some reflections of the days that has come. It's extremely good to be back here in Harvard for the second time. It's really awesome," he said in his latest YouTube vlog.
Matteo also compared his experience during his first time at Harvard to his second. "The first time I came here, [overwhelmed]. The second time around was a different feeling. It was really cool, more comfortable, especially the first time you're here, you're always afraid to raise your hand, to speak and stuff. You're very intimidated with the people around you," he admitted. "The second time you are more comfortable, you know the place, you know where to go, you know what to do. You have a better idea of everything, so that's good."
He shared that most of the participants in the program came from the creative industry, similar to his background. "And I think this course is same minded-people like me. More marketing, more producer, more artist side, more creative people are part of the course," the actor relayed.
Reflecting further on his learnings, Matteo said the program helped him better understand global perspectives.
"It's really good because anybody can join. You just have to send your application. They will filter you through and everything. When you join, you get different perspectives on gobal thinking, on how people do things in a global perspective, or in their country, because we have a lot of classmates from different countries, so it is really good to see different perspectives on how people do it, and the connections we build here, the network we build. And yeah that's really cool. And I hope one day, I can inspire and encourage other friends to join," he stated.
Matteo added why continuous education is vital for him. "As I venture further into business, especially with G Prod, G Music, and our other companies, investing in education and growth has never felt more important. Thank you for joining me as I grow, evolve, and keep choosing learning… again and again," he stated.

Matteo first attended the Harvard Business School back in 2024 for the Negotiation & Competitive Decision-Making program.
"Being part of a diverse group of 88 participants from 31 nationalities and 27 industries was both inspiring and eye-opening. Engaging with such accomplished peers and working through case studies with renowned professors and authors like Max Bazerman, Deepak Malhotra, and Guhan Subramanian was invaluable," he stated in his past vlog.
Matteo said that he was grateful "for the chance to learn from the best and bring back new insights on negotiation and decision-making!"
