Who they are
Twenty-eight, selling a $997 course on how to sell courses, where the curriculum is a screenshot of the bank app from the last cohort he sold the course to. The Lamborghini is rented by the hour for B-roll; the mansion is an Airbnb he books for one afternoon of arms-crossed footage by the infinity pool. Income is "$110K"—gross, declining, and mostly other people's tuition. Taxes go unpaid because quarterly estimates are a scarcity mindset. He films a day-in-my-life that consists entirely of filming the day. The funnel is the only thing he's ever built that works, and it works exactly once per customer. The product is the pyramid. You are the next floor.
Our neighborhood
Wherever the WiFi and the rented backdrop are. This week a stucco Airbnb with a pool, last week a coffee shop he frames as "the office." A ring light has its own room; he does not. Checkout pages bookmarked, a Lambo reservation, and a storage unit of merch nobody bought twice.
Shopping
Rents a Lamborghini by the hour and a mansion by the afternoon, both for arms-crossed B-roll beside an infinity pool he will never swim in. Buys ring lights, a gimbal, and a storage unit of merch nobody bought twice. The checkout page is bookmarked; the checkout page is also the product.
Spending
A $997 course on how to sell courses, where the curriculum is a screenshot of the bank app from the cohort he sold the course to last month. Income is a declining $110K gross, most of it other people's tuition. Quarterly estimates go unpaid because taxes are a scarcity mindset right up until the letter arrives.
Media
Studies other people's funnels the way a mechanic listens to an engine. Films a day-in-my-life consisting entirely of filming the day. Reads nothing and screenshots everything.
Interests
The funnel, the only thing he has ever built that works, and it works exactly once per customer. A mastermind retreat he sells seats to and also attends, seated in the front row of his own pitch. The pyramid is the product and you are the next floor.
