Do you want to hear something crazy? I went from 17-year-old addict straight out of prison to selling three software companies in 10 years and building my net worth to over $100 million today. What some people would call you money. Trust me, no one was more surprised than me. So, I'm going to share with you how to make so much money that if life was a video game, it'd kind of feel like cheating. The first way to make so much money it feels like cheating the game of life is to not chase money, but to build skills that attract it.

How to steal it

setting · outdoor city
  1. 01
    Hook (0-2s)

    Open with the "money so easy it feels unfair" 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.

  2. 02
    Set 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.

  3. 03
    Payoff (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.

  4. 04
    Reaction / 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

I make money from creators I signed once and it feels like cheating.

Alex walks through the OVO 25% recurring model, shows how one Gymshark creator he signed keeps paying him monthly without re-closing. Films at the Brickell penthouse with the skyline behind him, casually pulls up a Stripe notification on his phone.

Variant 2

A $500k Porsche from deals I closed in my sweatpants. Feels illegal honestly.

Opens on the GT3 RS parked in the Brickell garage. Alex explains he quit being ZoomInfo's top AE at 22 and now closes Nike and Celsius brand deals for creators from his couch. Walks through the 25% commission structure that paid for the car.

CTA / outro (13-15s)

Implicit beats explicit. Let the caption + pinned comment ask. End on the asset, not your face.

Brickell · Tag @imalexgunnar in the caption. Pin the objection comment within 60s of posting.

Where in Miami
  • Gas station · Shell SW 8th + Brickell Ave (24/7, premium pump, clean lighting).
  • Valet · Casa Tua, Komodo, E11even — pull-up + handoff is the cinematic moment.
  • Penthouse · Flow Brickell roof or your unit. Skyline backdrop reads premium.
  • Track / paddock · Hard Rock paddock during F1 weekend = pre-built audience.
  • Cold start · Brickell Ave south of 8th at 6:30am — empty street, hard light.

Formula · 1. **Contrarian Hook:** Start with a shocking claim or unexpected question. 2. **Authority Introduction:** Briefly establish your expertise/credibility. 3. **Listicle:** Present X strategies framed as ‘unfair’ or ‘easy.’ 4. **Actionable Advice:** Give concrete steps for each strategy. 5. **Real-World Examples:** Back up advice with stories or case studies. 6. **Call to Action:** Direct viewers to further engagement.

Variant 3

I earn 5% of every brand deal my students close. Forever. That feels like cheating.

Alex breaks down the Roster Method economics on a whiteboard or phone screen. Shows how placing graduates at OVO Talent creates a recurring 5% revenue stream on every deal they close. Ties it back to why he quit a six figure sales floor at 22 to build this instead.
