This is Ryan Reynolds.
Bet you didn't know he's nearly a BILLIONAIRE.
He's a marketing savant.
Companies he co-owns or has sold are worth ~$14+ billion
- F1 Team
- Football Club
- Alcohol brand
- Wireless provider
- Ad agency, etc, etc
His strategy is fascinating👇
Being an A-list actor just wasn’t enough for Ryan.
From charging $2M for the 1st Deadpool to making ~$300M after selling his Mint Mobile shares - our boy Ryan is one of the richest actors right now.
No wonder he’s always laughing…

This is Mike Cessario.
He turned Liquid Death into a $1.4 BILLION brand in a boring industry.
Mike sells water in beer cans & hires pornstars for ads.
Here's how he used branding to build a $1.4B water brand 🤘
Mike LIVES the Liquid Death brand.
He got the face of a random Liquid Death customer tattooed on his arm. The customer chugged a can of Liquid Death water in under 15 seconds for 365 days.

Creator-led brands did over $2 BILLION in sales last year
We are in the middle of the biggest SHIFT in consumer behavior.
- Beverages
- Beauty

In fact, the pandemic brought the creators much closer to their audience. 👇

4 months ago we launched a productized agency.
Now we run 4 of them.
We’ll hit 8-figures this year.
And we’re going to launch 8 more.
This is the future of services.
Here's why:
Traditional agency market is $320b+
What are the biggest weaknesses of agencies?
- Too slow.
- Too expensive.
- Too much bloat.
- Too little profitable.
- Too long of sales cycle.
- Too much mystery about process.
What if you disrupt all of that?

Look at this water bottle.
It does $43M in revenue with only 50 employees.
That's ~$860,000 per employee.
Barack Obama, Nicole Kidman, Justin Timberlake, & many celebrities can regularly be seen drinking it.
What makes this brand such a phenomenon? 🧵
Fiji Water is a "premium" water brand.
But... all water tastes the same?
How does Fiji sell at a 4x premium compared to competitors like Volvic that sell 100 ml of water for ~$0.12.
It's all about the power of BRAND.

Doing everything we can to sell, design, and recruit at the highest-level

I've built two 7-figure businesses in the last 45 days.
My 3rd is nearly there - it took 3 days. 🚀
More are coming.
$0 capital raised. $0 personally invested.
Steal my playbook 📖
Before we get into, you should know...
I'm cheating.
I've done this before.
After deciding not to sell my agency, Everest, for $11m last summer, I took a 6-month sabbatical.
Hibernating. Storing energy.
I knew whatever came next, I had to attack it with everything I had.
