Your Dedicated Coach
My name is Rob Pengson
Hi, I’m Rob Pengson. Since 2003, I’ve trained more than 16,000 professionals and business owners who are now Michelin-starred chefs, successful food entrepreneurs, and 8-figure business owners around the world. I’ve also served hundreds of thousands of customers, starting my career at just 19 years old.
​
For context, I trained in some of the world’s best institutions, including the Mandarin Oriental in Ginza, Tokyo, and San Francisco, both considered best-in-class globally. I also studied at Yamato Noodle School under Mr. Fuji, Harvard Business School, Wharton, and the Asian Institute of Management.
​
These experiences led to multiple Best Restaurant, International Best Chef, and Best School awards, and the opportunity to become a Madrid Fusión presenter in the Philippines, beginning at age 27.
Apologies for the self-talk (cringe), but marketing requires a proper introduction.
​
I wake up at 5:00 AM every day to ensure that you—and people like you—receive truly world-class training. I protect the learning environment carefully so that only disciplined, growth-oriented people are part of the community.
​
We cannot grow in spaces filled with negativity, excuses, or destructive talk. Values and principles are the foundation of real transformation, and I guard them carefully—for your benefit and your growth.
​
My job is simple: to make sure your program is the best there is, that your faculty is fully committed to developing your skills, and that the knowledge you receive is elite-level and actionable.
​
What makes me happiest is seeing students build businesses that outperform their salaries, allowing them to pursue their dreams on their own terms.
​
That’s who I am and I am devoted to helping you build.
