About Jack Wendt
Founder of High Rise Influence. Co-creator of the AI Apprentice Program with Dennis Yu. Pastor’s kid from Eagan, Minnesota.
How I got here
I grew up as a pastor’s kid in Eagan, Minnesota. Church every Sunday, youth group every Wednesday. I didn’t know what digital marketing was until college, and I definitely didn’t plan to build a business around Google Knowledge Panels.
After school I joined BetterWealth as a content marketer. I learned WordPress, shot videos, wrote blog posts, ran SEO audits. The role ended, but those skills became the foundation for everything that came next.
I cold-messaged Dennis Yu on LinkedIn. No warm intro, no mutual connection. Just a direct message explaining what I could do. Dennis responded. He saw someone who could execute, not just talk strategy. Within months we were building systems together.
That partnership became High Rise Influence. I took everything Dennis taught me about the Content Factory, Dollar-a-Day ads, and entity building, and turned it into a repeatable service for founder-led businesses.
The Dennis Yu partnership
Dennis didn’t just give advice. He gave me access to his systems, his network, and his methodology. We taught together, filmed at my house in Minnesota, and stood on stages like DigiMarCon. That friendship and the work still matter, including the content we made on the road.
We built the AI Apprentice Program together so young people train on real client work using proven frameworks.
What I do
Knowledge Panel optimization. I help founders, executives, and public figures earn Google Knowledge Panels: schema, Wikidata, consistent NAP, press, structured citations.
Content Factory execution. The 6-stage BlitzMetrics system: Plumbing, Produce, Process, Post, Promote, Perform.
AI Apprentice Program. Apprentices work on live campaigns from day one.
