Academy Partnerships
Bridging the Gap Between Student and CEO.
The beauty and wellness industry has a massive blind spot. Every year, incredible talent graduates from top academies, but industry data shows nearly half of new independent contractors leave the field within 5 years. They don't fail because they lack skill—they fail because they lack financial structure.
The transition from a student to a 1099 Solopreneur is a brutal financial shift. I partner with Utah’s top academies to provide graduating seniors with the exact blueprint they need to survive the financial "Valley of Death" in Year 1.
The "Solopreneur Safety Net" (30-Minute Guest Module)
Designed specifically for graduating seniors, this no-fluff, high-energy session covers the "Business 101" survival skills that most contractors don't learn until it's too late:
• 🧱 Entity Setup & Legal Structure: Why you need an LLC before you take your first client (and how to set it up).
• 📉 Tax & Cash Flow Strategy: How to budget for the IRS so W-9 taxes don't crush your early momentum.
• 🦆 Income Protection (The "Zoolander" Rule): In this industry, your hands, wrists, and back are your entire inventory. We cover exactly how to insure your paycheck so your income doesn't drop to zero if you get injured.
Let's Protect Your Graduates.
If you are a School Director or Instructor in Utah or Idaho, don't let your students step into the 1099 world without a safety net. My Spring and Summer guest lecture calendar is currently open.
