It's a me, CHADIO! Yesterday was MAR10 Day. You probably didn't know that was a thing. I didn't either until a couple of years ago. Turns out... Fans of Super Mario started celebrating March 10th back in 2009 because MAR10 looks like MARIO. Cute, right? Here's where it gets good... In 2015, Nintendo noticed what the fans were doing. And they did something smart. They turned a fan-made holiday into a PiggyBANKING opportunity. Nintendo RARELY discounts their games... But for Mario Day this year? They dropped prices on Mario titles down to $30-$60. GameStop jumped in too... They offered $5 store credit to anyone who showed up dressed as Mario. Now... Here's what I don't want my fellow PiggyBANKERS to miss. Nintendo didn't CREATE Mario Day. The fans did. Nintendo just showed up and PiggyBANKED off the excitement that was already there. See... The hype exists. The crowds are gathering. As PiggyBANKERS we've just gotta know where to look. Maybe it's a yearly conference in our niche. Maybe it's something local in our area. Maybe it's a day fans made up that nobody's capitalizing on yet. The thing is... Big companies with massive budgets miss these opportunities ALL THE TIME. Which means we can swoop in and own them. So here's what I want you to do... Take some time to research events and celebrations around YOUR niche or area of expertise. Where are people already gathering? What excitement already exists that you can tap into? Then... Find a licensed offer that capitalizes on that. That's what I'm working on doing for the toy collecting industry. If this it gave you even a small PiggyBANKING breakthrough? Comment below. I wanna hear about it. Lets get piggy wit it, PB Chad PS The best part about this approach? You're not trying to CREATE the crowd. You're just showing up where they're already celebrating. Way easier. Way more profitable.

Happy Thursday my fellow PiggyBANKERS! One of my favorite movies is The Matrix. I won't bore you with the synopsis, but like Neo from the movie... My eyes have been opened. I'm seeing past what most people take for granted. I don't walk down the toy isle at Target and only see awesome action figures anymore. I don't browse through video games and just see games I want to play any longer. Even on YouTube, I see it. PiggyBANKING... It's all around us like the code of the Matrix that no one but Neo could see. The little wrestling toy company that is cashing in by licensing Macho Man Randy Savage or Andre The Giant and giving fans a touch of nostalgia... The small game company that revives a beloved franchise and like Castlevania... Giving it fresh life so fans can wield the Vampire Killer whip once again and put Dracula back into his grave. The tiny YouTube channel with 293 subscribers that collaborates with a larger YouTuber with 20,000 subscribers... So when people see 20k YouTuber's videos, they can also subscribe to the little channel... These are just some examples. I gave another example yesterday talking about MAR10 Day. Here's the thing... Like Neo, who sensed the Matrix but couldn't put his finger on it... People sense PiggyBANKING but they can't really explain it... They just know it WORKS! My goal with this community is to help you all see the PiggyBANKING opportunites all around you. I don't want you to just consume or use things like the masses... I want you to see the PiggyBANKING happening underneath it. So... My plan is to go deeper into all the PiggyBANKING that I'm seeing in my day to day life. I'll be sticking in my lane of toys, games and other forms of entertainment. But, whatever your lane is... I want to hear about the PiggyBANKING that you're starting to see. Drop your favorite GIF in the comments if you're with me.

PigaChad here... Yesterday my hands were shaking as I hovered over a buy now button on my screen. I was about to commit to 24 payments of $50 PER WEEK. $1,200 bucks. See... I've been all in this new deal making idea called a FUN auction. Had a few chats with people. Gotten on some coffee dates. Even tried running my own auction the other week. Heartache and disappointment. Auctions have been happening since early 2024... There have been tons of success stories from auctions closing at $30k total sales to $174k total sales. Back at the end of last year, Travis Sago offered this program Coffee Dates On Demand. It helps deal makers get more coffee dates for auction partners. I passed on it. I had the 24 Hour Fun Auction playbook already. I'd just use that. Well, as I said above it hasn't worked out too well for me. This past month... Travis made a new offer for those that missed out on CDOD the first go around. So... As my finger nervously tapped on the mouse after plugging in my credit card info, I felt doubts. What if in 3 weeks I can't make a payment? What if I follow the program and still don't land an auction partner? That's when I told the little devil piggy Chad on my shoulder "Get behind me Satan!" Then I started thinking... What if I get my first partner before my next payment? What if I run my first $50k - $100k auction? What if I get more partner opportunities than I can handle? That's when I pressed the button and smiled as the Venmo notification flashed across my phone screen. I made a commitment to get my first successful auction regardless of the outcome. Now, I know its not going to be all rainbows and unicorns. But... Here's what I want my PiggyBANKERS to understand. The people doing deal making to build their PiggyBANKING brand aren't waiting until they feel "ready." They're not waiting until they have results to show. They're building their brand WHILE they get traction. They're doing it even when they aren't sure of the outcome.

UPDATE: Tony has graciously provided us with two resources to help you get your PiggyBANKING Brand going today! Resource 1: Tony Teegarden's PiggyBANKING Brand Guide Resource 2: The PiggyBANKING Brand Checklist. You'll find them under the interview! ORIGINAL POST: The licensing secrets Tony used to build Meaningful Man are FINALLY revealed... (Plus how PiggyBANKERS can avoid getting personal branding completely backwards)... What's up PiggyBANKERS! For everyone who had a question for Tony? THANK YOU for participating... Tony indeed went DEEP on this call (almost an hour)... So, BUCKLE UP... If you've seen my first interview with Tony then you know he shows the receipts on everything he talks about. In this interview he shares how Personal Branding through licensing is the KEY to building real wealth instead of chasing shiny objects. Finding mentors who've actually DONE what you want to do and learning to model (not copy) their approach separates the builders from the dreamers FAST. Well @Tony Teegarden just broke down EXACTLY how he did it! This interview is LOADED but here's what we covered: ✅ The Core Skill: Modeling (Not Copying) - The starting point to living into the IP you want to PiggyBANK on ✅ AI + IP Combo - How Tony plugs artificial intelligence into intellectual property for maximum leverage ✅ Stance and Content - Why your positioning matters as much as your posts ✅ Living Into IP vs. LARPing It - The difference between authentic brand building and playing dress-up ✅ Rainmaker to Floodmaker - Tony's innovation process after mastering the fundamentals ✅ Automating the Hard Part - How Floodmaker AI handles what used to take hours of manual work ✅ SaaS as IP Containers - Thread Genius, Creator Finder, Anti-Gravity and the bigger strategy ✅ Audience Curation - Why you need to guard your pond like your financial future depends on it ✅ Personal Brand as Your Moat - The protection system around your PiggyBANKING empire
