It's what I practice, what I've built businesses around.

San Aung spent nearly a decade in management consulting at Deloitte, Accenture, and Oracle. He advised Fortune 500 companies on strategy, operations, and digital transformation. But the thing that always pulled him wasn't the strategy decks — it was the marketing. Specifically, how you get someone's attention, earn their trust, and move them to act. Direct response. Paid media. The mechanics of conversion.


In 2023 he left consulting and went all in on building. He founded Consultant Exit, a career placement agency, and ran the entire marketing engine himself — Facebook ads, automation workflows, CRM architecture, email sequences, the works. Not because he had to. Because he genuinely loves it. His newsletter, Second Ladder Intel, reaches 48,000+ professionals three times a week at open rates that consistently run more than 2x the industry average.


Outside of work, he's a certified bachata instructor and placed 3rd at the Latin World Cup in Medellín — which, he'll tell you, teaches you more about rhythm and precision than any spreadsheet ever did.

Stephen Mayer, a Salt Lake City native, was nurtured in the publishing world by his magazine-running father and developed a fascination for fonts upon receiving a Mac for his family. During his collegiate years, he skipped lectures and gained knowledge about typeface—and life—by working as a designer for his university newspaper.


He also worked independently as a consultant, bridging the gap between typeface creators and users, always championing the needs of both parties. Not only is he the co-founder of the web platforms, Typographica and Fonts In Use, Stephen has also penned a regular column for Print magazine and authored the acclaimed book The Anatomy of Type. In 2017, he became an integral part of the nonprofit library and museum, Letterform Archive, as an Associate Curator and Editorial Director.
