What happens when a brilliant educator with 30 years of teaching experience and an award-winning brand strategist decide to stop doing everything separately and build something together? In this episode, I sit down with two of my favorite humans in the Catalyst mastermind, Anthony Krupp and Clo Blanco-Krupp, co-founders of Anthony Krupp Tutoring, and we get into all of it.
The good. The scary. The credit cards. The sold car. The $20,000 March.
Anthony is an Ivy-League-trained educator with a Ph.D. and 14 years specializing in SAT and MCAT prep, helping students increase their scores by 200 to 300+ points through a strategy-first approach that is unlike anything in traditional test prep. Clo is a brand strategist and creative director with 30 years of experience who initially came in to do a quick rebrand and ended up quietly enrolling in Breakthrough Boss without telling her husband.
We will not be letting her live that down.
In this conversation, we talk about what it actually looks like to go from hauling buckets for four or five companies to building your own thing, why being great at what you do has nothing to do with knowing how to run a business, the moment Clo realized she had to pick one bridge and stop building ten, how they went from $2,000 in November to $20,000 in March just twelve months later, what their funnel numbers actually look like including a 73% sales-to-call close rate, the mindset shift that made Anthony stop feeling like a fraud for charging what he is worth, why the webinar they almost quit three times turned out to be the engine that changed everything, and how two caregivers running a business from home found a way to build something real inside deeply constrained lives.
This episode is for anyone who has ever looked at their business and thought, I know what I am doing, so why is this so hard? Tony and Clo are honest, hilarious, deeply human, and proof that the path from chaos to clarity is possible even when life does not slow down to make room for it.
