High‑ticket Innovation / Product Strategy Agency (LCA model)

Sell enterprise product and innovation strategy as high‑value annual retainers to Fortune/large startups.

Summary

Build an audience and community of product/strategy followers, use that trust to sell deep innovation engagements to enterprises at high annual retainer rates (the video shows Greg charging ~$1.5M/year per client).
