Start by booking an introductory in-person or virtual meeting with us. We’ll assess your needs and create a custom roadmap for success.

We can also give you some can’t-miss recommendations for the best restaurants in and around LA.

Generally, we work with clients in four capacities:

1. Projects with a start and end date, including a detailed roadmap, scope of work, and KPIs
2. Upskilling you and/or your team across one or more of our four areas of expertise: value creation and delivery, sales and marketing, operations, and workplace culture
3. Seminars designed to provide your team with valuable insights and practical knowledge on key business topics
4. Research & Development (R&D) solutions to uncover new opportunities, optimize existing processes, and drive innovation — providing the knowledge and expertise needed to turn your ideas into actionable results

We offer flexible pricing models tailored to your business needs.

We believe in transparency and will provide a clear proposal upfront so there are no surprises.

And don’t worry — we won’t charge you every time you blink during a meeting. We save that for the premium package.

Depending on the scope and nature of the work, we may charge:

• Project Fees: a flat rate for clearly defined projects with specific deliverables
• Hourly Rates: ideal for consulting or advisory sessions where flexibility is key
• Retainer Agreements: for ongoing support and consistent access to our expertise
• Custom Pricing: Got something unique in mind? We’re happy to create a bespoke pricing model that works for you.

If you really want the truth, most consulting firms are great when it comes to combining practical expertise with innovative thinking (and a touch of humor).

We do the same, but we differentiate ourselves in our affordability — because we do not have the overheard that most consulting firms carry. This allows us to work with major brands, small-to-midsize-businesses, up-and-coming startups, and personal brands.

Never less than four espresso shots each day and sometimes five.

While we specialize in business, we’re happy to weigh in on important life choices like tacos versus sushi. (Hint: It’s tacos.)
