In the second episode of unBlocked, I sit down with Tem, the founder of Optemization to talk about how he went from earning $15 / Hour as a Startup Intern to crossing $1,000,000 in ARR with Notion Consulting.

We discuss how a Bullet Journal kickstarted his career as a Notion Consultant and how he went from freelance consultant to building a team.

Optemization is a fully remote consultancy, so Tem shares his approach to building a great company culture and which tech stack they use to run the Notion Consultancy.

Last but certainly not least, we discuss why anyone would hire a Notion Consultant for $5,000 or more when they could just pay $5 for a Notion Template instead.
