Productizing Bespoke Consulting Offers

In this episode, I sit down with Rob Jentsch, an education leader and consultant, to discuss his mission of providing remarkable education to more students globally.

We dive deep into his journey from volunteer work in El Salvador to becoming a high school teacher, and then into management consulting, all driven by a desire to improve educational outcomes.

Rob shares his current business model, which balances high-ticket consulting with a passion for serving smaller, impactful organizations. We explore strategies for him to scale his impact, build an online presence, productize his services, and optimize his time through a powerful "flywheel" approach, all while maintaining his commitment to his family and personal well-being.

Viewers will learn about user-centered design in curriculum, effective strategies for growing an online audience, and how to balance purpose-driven work with business growth.
