How to steal it
setting · outdoor city
- 01Hook (0-2s)
Open with the "ranked high income list current year" beat. No intro card, no logo, no greeting.
Brickell · Roll camera before you arrive at Brickell Ave at golden hour or Biscayne Blvd south of 5th. The reveal IS the hook.
- 02Set the frame (2-4s)
Establish outdoor city with your hero prop. Wide on the 16mm so the GT3 RS sells the scale.
Brickell · Keep the prop count to 1. More props = more cuts = lower retention.
- 03Payoff (4-9s)
Use direct to camera rant to deliver the rewatch moment. One idea, one take.
Brickell · Cut on the reaction, not the line. If it's a price reveal, hold the number on screen for 1.5s.
- 04Reaction / proof (9-13s)
Show the consequence. Bystander head-turn, valet face, on-screen receipt — whatever makes the payoff feel real.
Brickell · Casa Tua and Komodo valets are cinematic. E11even paddock for nightlife crowd. Hard Rock paddock during F1 weekend = prebuilt audience.
Your version
Alex-voiced hooks3/3
Variant 1
The business that paid for my $500k GT3 RS and 4 others worth starting now.
Alex walks past the GT3 in the Brickell parking garage, taps the hood, then breaks down 5 high-margin businesses in the creator economy. Leads with talent management (OVO model), then stacks adjacent plays like brand consulting, UGC agencies, paid media buying for creators, and creator education (Scale with Samantha as proof).
Variant 2
5 businesses that print recurring revenue, ranked by the one I'd start first.
Alex films from the Brickell penthouse floor-to-ceiling windows at night. Ranks business models by gross margin and recurring potential, starting with creator management (25% of gross plus 20% ad spend), weaving in how he quit his #1 AE seat at ZoomInfo at 22 because he spotted the model that sits at number one on the list.
