Victor Damasio built one of Brazil's longest-running masterminds, grew an audience of 700,000 on Instagram, and helped hundreds of professionals turn their expertise into high-ticket income, all without recording a single polished course. Now he is bringing that playbook to the United States for the first time.
Charles and Victor get into the real mechanics of monetizing what you already know, from landing your first paying mentee without a following, to charging what your time is actually worth, to running a group program that people renew year after year. Victor breaks down the four-question framework that flips the sales dynamic entirely, putting clients in the position of pitching themselves to you rather than the other way around, and shares what he would do in the first 90 days if he were starting from scratch today.
Together, they explore why you do not need to be the best in your field to teach, why your next client is probably already in your phone contacts, and why selling before you have a perfect program is not a shortcut but the actual method.
This is not a masterclass in theory. It is a step-by-step look at how ordinary expertise becomes extraordinary income.
