Dr. Spencer Magleby wanted to pursue consulting after retiring from BYU. One of his students graduated at the right time to join him, and they started the venture together. With roots at BYU in Provo, the business is based in Utah. The cofounder describes the experience as largely smooth, with the changing pace typical of their consulting work: customers come and go, but the projects remain creative and enjoyable. Other alumni join the work when needed.
