From Paycheck to Portfolio Career

The series is taught by Amanda Schwartz Ramirez, a former PayPal strategy executive turned fractional COO and founder of Garden Labs. Amanda has spent 4+ years building her own advisory practice while navigating the same AI disruption her participants are facing, and she coaches from active, current experience across both corporate and startup clients.

The Expertise Audit (Workshop A) is about getting specific: figuring out what’s uniquely yours - the stuff that’s not your employer’s, not your title’s, and not something AI can replicate.

Launch Solo (Workshop B) is about building: turning that clarity into a revenue-generating services practice with real pricing, a real pipeline, and real operations.
