I had an incredibly insightful strategic advisory session with Eric Schechter. During our meeting, I shared the unique business model of our media company, which specializes in launching and monetizing podcasts and YouTube shows. Eric was able to provide specific, actionable advice that exceeded my expectations. Not only did he offer valuable strategies for increasing our prices, but he also identified an ancillary service we were previously overlooking. His guidance on scaling this additional service has already started to make a significant impact on our business.

I recently had a mentor meeting with Eric about my business, and the experience was outstanding. Eric asked insightful questions and quickly grasped the nuances of my industry. He shared his thoughts on the future of the industry, which were incredibly enlightening. Eric provided powerful action items that will undoubtedly help me take my business to the next level. He also opened my mind to opportunities I hadn't even considered before. The value I received in such a short amount of time was immense. I definitely plan to work with Eric again. Highly recommended!

Man, the amount of value Eric Schecter packed into a tiny 30 min meeting was incredible. Zero time wasted, 100% effective. I had multiple challenges that I was looking for help with going into the meeting, and I was skeptical that we'd be able to cover everything in 30 mins... Eric's ability to get straight to the key issues, address them, provide direction, and novel insights was amazing. Thank you Eric! :)

I booked a call with Eric because he was recommended by peers in a Mastermind. I was a little hesitant because I didn’t know who he was, but after learning about his impressive background, I decided to move forward (and I needed someone to bounce my ideas off of and get valuable feedback). Eric asked some incredibly helpful questions and gave me some much needed direction. Highly recommend.
