PRE-EVENT MANDATORY ASSET PURCHASE

Dear Magician, Let’s Kill the Confusion: Assets Are MANDATORY. Period.
Let’s not dance around this.Asset purchase is NOT optional.Not “let me see the pics first.”Not “maybe just a few clips.”Not “I’ll decide after the event.”No. Nope. Absolutely not.
This event is called Credibility Staging—not “Free Posing for Fence-Sitters.”We’re here to elevate brands, not babysit indecision.
In the past, we were kind. Patient. Naively flexible.We took photos and videos of everyone.
And what did we get?
✅ 30% saw the value, invested, and went on to build brands that book stages.❌ The other 70%?Struck power poses like they were conquering the speaking world…Then ghosted. Mid-edit. Because “maybe speaking isn’t my thing.”
Meanwhile, our team—who spent hours shooting, crafting, editing—was left holding a portfolio of broken promises.
  It’s not just insulting. It’s theft, wrapped in fake ambition, served with a side of delusion.
And the stupid part?These same clowns who did not pay for their assets, are exactly where we found them: Four days pretending to be the sh*t—then slinking back to sell to $27 ebooks to the broke industrial complex like nothing happened.

We Promised Ourselves This Will NEVER Happen Again...

So here’s the new law:If you haven’t paid for your assets upfront—You don’t get to pose.You don’t get to smile.You don’t even get through the door.We’re not joking.If you show up unpaid, you will be sidelined, you will not participate and you will not be allowed in. Period.

We’re done being polite.Credibility isn’t free. It’s earned.If you can’t commit to investing in the very assets that will sell your brand for years to come,you’re not staging credibility— you’re staging a lie.
And honestly? We don’t want you near the people who are actually here to build something real.
This is the LAST Beta Event. You’re getting an outrageous deal.If you’re still debating the price, the truth is—you probably don’t believe you’re worth being branded.
So do us all a favor: Pay. Commit. Show up like a pro. Or don’t show up at all.
Because if you try to walk in unpaid, you’ll be out before your second blink.

What's The Price For the Assets?

BEFORE THE EVENT

$750 or 3 Monthly Payments of $260

AT THE EVENT

One Payment of $1500

This purchase needs to be completed before you enter the room on day 1

🎤 So You Say You Want to Be a Paid Professional Speaker? Prove It.   

Let’s get one thing painfully clear:You say you want to be a paid speaker.But without a strategy, you’re not a speaker.You’re just another free-talking name on a speaker directory graveyard—where unbooked dreams go to rot, next to other broke amateurs who “just wanted to share their story.”
Let me ask you this:When was the last time you got paid to speak—without begging, chasing, or lowering your fee just to get onstage?
If you don’t have an answer, you don’t have a system. And if you don’t have a system, you’re not in business.You’re in denial.

⚔️ Enter the Challenge That Fixes This Forever.

You are being offered something almost no one gets:In 90 days, you’re going to learn how event planners ACTUALLY book speakers.Not theory. Not fluff. We’re talking direct-from-the-source strategy most speakers never see.
This isn’t a course. This is a Done-With-You Challenge.You won’t just watch slides and take notes.You’ll build your booking system side by side with pros—step by step, brick by brick, asset by asset.
You’ll walk away with:✅ A booking-ready website✅ A high-converting media kit✅ Your positioning✅ Your refined mesage✅ Your credibility engineAnd the system that feeds you for life

� And Now Comes the Fork in the Road.
BEFORE THE EVENT PRICE:Right now—TODAY—the investment is $3,000.
Or 6 Payments of $510
On June 1st, it goes up to $5,000. No discussion. No exceptions.You snooze, you pay more. It’s that simple.

Want To Upgrade During The Event?

Sure. You can. But here’s how it works—so pay close attention:
The price will still be $3,000.But this time, it’s ONE payment. No installments. No exceptions.
And the assets?Not included.You’ll pay full price—and still have to buy your assets separately. Don’t ask for flexibility. There isn’t any.
We’re not negotiating. We’re not “talking after the first session.” We’re not doing the whole “but I just need a little time” song and dance.
This is what happens when you hesitate on a high-leverage decision: You lose leverage. You lose perks.And you pay more to get less.

Are We Gonna Sell You More Stuff During the Event?

🤨 Are We Gonna Sell You More Stuff During the Event?

No. Hell no. Absolutely not.
This is not a boiler room. This is not some sleazy upsell trap disguised as a “learning experience.”This is a sacred space—where peddlers die and professionals are born.
After this, it’s 100% up to you.Want us to craft your testimonial reel? Fine—we can do that. At a fair price.
Want a training reel built by our media team? Same thing—available, not pushed.
Want to be part of the Guild? You’ll know when you’re ready. We won’t chase you.
We’ll show you what’s available. We won’t sell. We won’t pressure. We won’t manipulate.
This is not the place for desperate pitching.This is the place where clarity lives, ownership starts, and decision-making becomes sacred.
So no—you will not be sold to. You’ll be invited to rise.And the choice to accept that invitation?Fully yours.

We are thrilled to be part of your journey, and our team is here to assist you in any way we can to ensure a truly magical adventure. 
Should you have any suggestions or questions, please feel free to approach Brenda, Joan, Jason, Vincent, Paula or Frank.
A friendly word of caution: Kindly avoid distracting Headmaster Ernesto during the event, as he will be deeply absorbed in conjuring powerful spells of magic! Brenda, Joan, Jason, Vincent, Paula and Frank will be your trusty points of contact throughout the event, eager to hear how we can make your experience even more extraordinary. 
Ernesto? Well, he's busy summoning wonders!

  And finally, Dumbledore Ernesto Verdugo, the Headmaster himself, whose focus is entirely on conjuring the magic of this event.

PRE-EVENT TRAINING

VERY IMPORTANT

In days of old, our gatherings would span over 7 to 10 days—an adventure that, though wondrous, required considerable sacrifice, especially for those leaving their daily duties behind. We’ve heard your requests, and in response, we’ve condensed the experience into just 4 ½ days. This enchanted shift honors your bustling schedules and lightens the burden of accommodations and other expenses.
To ensure you’re fully prepared for the magical journey ahead, we’ve arranged 3 essential pre-event training sessions. These are designed to elevate you to the status of a Key Person of Influence, a vital step on your path to mastery. The videos you’ll find below were recorded in preparation for our Montana Event, but rest assured, this knowledge is indispensable as you venture toward Vegas.
Additionally, we’ve prepared 2 extra training sessions to further refine your craft. And yes, the replays will be available below as well. However, these sessions are centered around preparing you for an enchanted training in Stagecraft, where you’ll learn to wield the power of the stage and become a true Stage Master. It is crucial that you watch these videos before setting foot in Vegas, and that you participate LIVE in the Wednesday session prior to the event.

The Enchanted Gathering Grounds

Overland Park, Kansas

For this extraordinary pilgrimage to Hogwarts, we’ve chosen Overland Park, Kansas—a hidden ley line of midwestern magic where the mundane world politely steps aside.Beneath its polished surface lies a perfect convergence point for alchemy, transformation, and very well-reviewed breakfast spots.
Accommodations
Now, let’s talk lodging.We don’t assign a single homestead hotel—this isn’t a sleepaway camp for muggles. Instead, we’ve selected a high-frequency zone in Overland Park, surrounded by multiple hotels ranging from $68 to $200 per night, ensuring every type of traveler—from the budget-conscious apprentice to the executive-level enchanter—is covered.
You are responsible for booking your own accommodations.
Most of the event’s rituals and transformations will unfold in this area, so proximity is key.We highly recommend using Priceline, as they often reveal “secret” discounted rates—ideal for sharp-eyed travelers and off-duty wizards alike.
Secure your room early. Once the portal closes, not even a time-turner will get you a better rate.
