In a recent LinkedIn post, IZA MONTALVO announced her new role as an instructor at Maven, a platform known for its curated community of top founders, operators, and creators. MONTALVO frames this appointment as a significant personal and professional milestone, deeply influenced by her upbringing where teaching was considered a profound calling, inspired by her retired public school teacher parents.
The significance of this new role is underscored by Maven’s selective acceptance rate for instructors. MONTALVO highlights the caliber of individuals already teaching on the platform, noting that many come from leading technology companies.
“Maven accepts about 10% of instructor applications, which means I now get to learn alongside the top founders, operators, and creators teaching inside the same ecosystem.”
Bridging Industry Experience with Educational Aspirations
MONTAVO’s decision to become a Maven instructor is rooted in her desire to create courses aligned with the work she is passionate about and actively engages in with clients. She anticipates a shift towards more educational content, including detailed breakdowns and behind-the-scenes insights into her professional thinking.
As MONTALVO states:
“I’ll be creating courses around the work I care about most. The same work we do with clients every day.”
This move positions her to contribute to the development of future leaders and builders. She views the role not merely as teaching a course but as shaping the next generation of innovators. MONTALVO’s first course is expected soon, with limited seats available, and she encourages her audience to stay informed for further details.
A Foundation in Education and Future Vision
The influence of her parents, both retired public school teachers, is a recurring theme in MONTALVO’s announcement. She draws a parallel between their dedication to teaching as a calling and her own aspirations within the Maven ecosystem. This connection to foundational educational values informs her approach to her new role.
MONTAVO expresses her commitment to fostering growth and collaboration:
“Thank you for being here and growing with me. 💜 We’re building something that crosses industries and borders.”
Beyond her instructor role, MONTALVO also shared a practical resource for her network: a diagnostic tool designed to assess online visibility. This offer underscores her commitment to providing value and empowering individuals in their professional journeys. She invites interested individuals to take a “5-minute visibility check” via a provided link.
