UPDATE: Leandro and me are working to figure out a time to do the interview. So it will be happening once we can nail down a date and time! I'll post a new update once that's locked in! ORIGINAL POST: Last night I watched Sidekicks with Chuck Norris. Not his best film, but with his recent passing last Thursday, I'm watching some of his older movies. Anyhow, the basic plot is about this kid named Barry who spent his whole life daydreaming about fighting alongside his hero Chuck Norris. Eventually though various circumstances, he gets the chance to make it happen. And it got me thinking about something I've been watching play out in real time. There's a fellow PiggyBANKER @Leandro Langeani. He showed up in Travis Sago's world like most people do... Consuming content. Learning strategies. Dreaming about doing a deal with his mentor and hero. But most people stop there. They keep dreaming but never making it a reality. Leandro did something different. Something diabolically simple that cut through months of "figuring it out". He just changed the channel on one of Travis's IPs. Here's what happened... Travis is the author of Make Em' Beg To Buy From You. One of the best marketing books I've ever read. Proven top-seller in the English-speaking market. But completely untapped in Brazil. So Leandro teamed up with Travis and another guy named Kevin. They translated the book into Portuguese. Started selling it to the Brazilian market. August 2025, they published it. By now? 1,001 copies sold at $29.99 BRL. That's over $5,000 USD. From one book. One market. One simple channel change. Here's one of the easiest strategies any PiggyBANKER can do TODAY. Look at what's already working in one channel... And move it to another. Language is just one channel. It's one of the fastest ways PiggyBANKERS who don't speak English natively can get started. But, it could be another marketplace or social media network no one has tapped into.

Big shout out to PiggyBANKER @Carlos Rosario for creating this awesome image of me! If only my beard looked as good and non-gray as this version! I had to make it my new Skool avatar. Thanks again Carlos! Let's get piggy wit it, PB Chad

Chad here... This weekend I got a "Payment Failed - Action Required" email. When I opened it I realized it was for my former client's membership service. Didn't know I still got notices. Now...we still keep in touch and I'll do small tasks for her on occasion. So I reached out to make sure she got the notice too. She did. She paid it. But then I got curious. "How much is that costing you per year?" Just under $1,000. Hmmm. So I dug a little deeper with a few more questions. Turns out... She wasn't doing ANYTHING with the membership or her flagship program. Last year her husband had a stroke. She also did a ton of traveling. Several events for this flagship program. The bottom line? She was burned out. Taking this year off. And right there... I saw it. A trashcan asset we could cash flow. I shared the idea of taking her previous course and licensing it to students who went through the program. How we could bring in new money and students without her having to lift a finger. Even made a bumbly Loom video to show her what I was thinking. She's heading out of town today but we're connecting later this week. Now here's the thing... This lady was probably my favorite client. Easy to work with, listened to my suggestions and eager to pay her invoices. And now? This former client could become a new partner. What I want my PiggyBANKERS to know is deal making isn't limited to cold outreach. That does work for sure. But the EASIEST deals? They're sitting right in front of them. Former clients they loved working with. People who already trust them. Folks who know they deliver. That's why I'm considering putting together Deal Makin' Bacon. It shows you how to start getting deals with both cold AND warm outreach. Right now only 6 out of 83 PiggyBANKERS have voted on this. I'm getting the feeling this may be something I just keep to myself. But if you want to turn former clients into partners? ==> Let me know here

Happy Saturday PiggyBANKERS! Quite a few new folks have joined us over the last week thanks to @Tony Teegarden inviting peeps from his Deals Over Clients group. To all the new faces around here... WELCOME! There's now 69 folks in here so I wanted to take a pulse of the group. Where are ya at with watching the two interviews with Tony and making progress on building a PiggyBANKING Brand? There are two resources to help guide you under the second video. Can you let me know how you're progressing below? There's no wrong answers. PB Chad
