Meet the Apprentices
Dozens of professionals — from young apprentices to established business leaders — have sharpened their marketing skills and launched new opportunities through mentorship and collaboration with Dennis Yu and Jack Wendt.
Ethan Van De Hey – Went from a stuck marketing role to leading campaigns at Infinity Exteriors. After mentorship from Dennis Yu, he mastered Dollar-a-Day ads and storytelling frameworks that now generate measurable ROI for a multimillion-dollar construction company.
David Carroll – Agency owner who credits Dennis Yu for his growth in digital marketing and strategy execution, applying the same processes that power Fortune 500 campaigns. In 5 years David Carroll has led his innovative print marketing company Dope Marketing to be evaluated at $100 million.
Marko Sipilä – Started with BlitzMetrics as a teen and built a seven-figure agency by applying Dennis’s mentorship framework. He’s now mentoring other young marketers around the world.
Dylan Haugen – Current High-School Student turned content creator and host of the Dunk Talk Podcast. Under Dennis’s guidance, Dylan transformed his already extensive library of viral content—amassing over 100 million organic views—into a structured personal brand with real authority. He learned how to make his online presence visible on Google through his personal brand website, articles, and structured data, ultimately earning his own Knowledge Panel. This shift turned his reach into lasting digital credibility.
Heather Dopson – Industry leader and keynote speaker who collaborates with Dennis Yu on mentorship and professional development programs, embodying the “learn-do-teach” philosophy.
Caleb Guilliams – Founder of BetterWealth and long-time mentee of Dennis Yu. His storytelling-driven approach to financial education reflects the systems Dennis helped pioneer.
Natalie Ferreyra – From social media consultant to leading roles at Snap Inc. and now Netflix, Natalie’s career showcases how mastering core marketing frameworks and consistent execution can open doors to global opportunities
Taylor James – Owner of Dumpster Dogs in Austin, TX.
Taylor was paying an SEO company $750 a month for “optimization” that delivered zero measurable results until he learned how to do it right through mentorship from Dennis Yu.
In just a few weeks, he learned to spot fake SEO tactics, take control of his own analytics, and build true authority the right way by creating authentic one-minute videos, writing helpful blog posts, and connecting with other local businesses.
A Proven System, Taught by the People Who Built It
Everything taught here comes directly from the work Dennis and Jack do every day.
Dennis Yu has spent more than twenty years building data-driven marketing systems for brands like Nike, The Golden State Warriors, and thousands of small businesses. He’s known for turning complex analytics and advertising strategies into clear, repeatable systems that deliver measurable results.
Jack Wendt, founder of High Rise Influence, represents the next generation of marketers applying those same frameworks to help creators and local business owners grow their brands authentically.
The methods shared in this program come from real campaigns, client work, and mentorship — the same processes Dennis and Jack continue to optimize alongside the students and businesses they support.
