Turning Expertise into Learning Experiences That Inspire Action

Every organization has knowledge worth sharing. The challenge is transforming that knowledge into learning experiences that educate, engage, and inspire people to take action.

That's where I come in.

I'm Dr. Jay Fulgencio, an entrepreneurial mindset consultant, learning strategist, researcher, and content creator with more than twenty years of experience helping organizations, educational institutions, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs transform ideas into meaningful learning experiences.

Throughout my career, I have worked at the intersection of entrepreneurship, education, technology, and storytelling, helping clients develop innovative training programs, create engaging educational content, conduct applied research, and build learning experiences that make a lasting impact.

Whether I'm facilitating a workshop, producing educational videos, designing professional development programs, writing research reports, or consulting on learning strategy, my goal remains the same:
Create learning experiences that people remember and act upon.

My ApproachI believe learning should do more than transfer information.

The best learning experiences challenge assumptions, encourage innovation, and equip people with the confidence and skills to solve real-world problems.

Every project I take on is grounded in four guiding principles:

Entrepreneurial Thinking
Innovation begins with mindset. I help organizations and individuals develop entrepreneurial thinking that encourages creativity, resilience, adaptability, and opportunity recognition.

Learning Experience Design
Great learning doesn't happen by accident. I design workshops, professional development programs, online courses, and educational resources that improve engagement, knowledge retention, and real-world application.

Research & Evidence-Based Practice
As a researcher, I believe every recommendation should be supported by evidence. I translate research into practical strategies that help organizations make informed decisions and create meaningful impact.

Strategic Content Creation
Knowledge only creates value when people understand it. Through educational videos, YouTube content, blog articles, whiteboard animations, curriculum development, and thought leadership, I transform complex ideas into clear, engaging, and actionable learning experiences.

Experience That Bridges Multiple Worlds
My career has allowed me to work across higher education, nonprofit organizations, workforce development, entrepreneurship, and educational technology.

This diverse experience gives me a unique perspective that combines academic research with practical application. I understand both the theory behind effective learning and the realities organizations face when implementing change.

I've partnered with universities, nonprofit organizations, entrepreneurs, business support organizations, educational leaders, and professional associations to develop learning initiatives that create measurable results.

Education
My educational background reflects my passion for understanding how people learn, innovate, and lead.
  • Ph.D. in Educational Technology — Oklahoma State University
  • Master of Science in Entrepreneurship — Oklahoma State University
  • Master of Arts in Political Science — Northeastern Illinois University
  • Bachelor of Arts in Political Science — Northeastern Illinois University

Together, these disciplines shape the way I approach consulting—combining entrepreneurial thinking, instructional design, leadership, research, and technology into practical solutions for today's organizations.

Leadership & Professional Service
Giving back to the profession has always been an important part of my work.
Throughout my career, I have served in leadership and advisory roles supporting entrepreneurship, educational innovation, and professional learning, including:
  • Governing Board Member, Illinois Digital Educators Alliance (IDEA)
  • Former Chair, Online Entrepreneurship Education Special Interest Group, United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (USASBE)
  • Teaching & Learning Scholar, United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (USASBE)
  • Economic Education Advisory Board, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City – Oklahoma City Branch

These experiences have allowed me to collaborate with educators, entrepreneurs, researchers, and industry leaders committed to advancing learning and innovation.

Who I Work With

I partner with organizations that believe learning should create measurable impact.

My clients include:
  • Universities
  • Nonprofit Organizations
  • Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses
  • Professional Associations
  • Community Organizations

Whether the goal is developing an entrepreneurial mindset, creating educational content, designing professional development, or translating research into practice, I help organizations build learning experiences that inspire meaningful action.

Let's Build Something Meaningful Together 
I believe education has the power to transform individuals, strengthen organizations, and create opportunities for communities.


If you're looking for a consultant who combines entrepreneurial thinking, educational expertise, research, and creative content development to help your organization learn, grow, and innovate, I'd welcome the opportunity to work with you.
