The Story

No Blueprint.No Backup Plan.

I grew up in Brazil with almost nothing. No connections. No roadmap. No one handing me opportunities. What I did have was a decision: I would not accept the life that was handed to me. So I started building a different one.

I left everything behind, moved countries, and committed to mastering four things: my mind, my body, my spirituality, and my ability to build. Not because I had a plan. Because staying the same scared me more than starting over.

Today, I create content that has reached over 50 million views, built a community of over 1 million people, and founded The 1% Club, the environment I wish existed when I started. Built for people who are done talking about change and ready to engineer it.

The Journey

Every Step Was Intentional.

1990
Built from Nothing

Built from Nothing

Grew up in Brazil with very little. No safety net, no shortcuts. Learned early that if you wanted something, you had to build it yourself. That became the foundation for everything that followed.

2013
Started Creating Content

Started Creating Content

Opened 7+ YouTube channels. Most of them failed. But each one taught me something the last one didn't. The only rule was to never stop.

2015
Acting & Directing School

Acting & Directing School

Enrolled in acting and directing school. Learned storytelling, presence, and how to connect with an audience. Skills that would later become the foundation of content that resonated with millions.

2017
Left Comfort Behind

Left Comfort Behind

Left Brazil, moved to the USA with nothing lined up. Worked as a restaurant host, drove Uber, did whatever it took to survive while building on the side. No plan B. No safety net. Just the refusal to settle.

2020
Bet on Someone Else's Dream

Bet on Someone Else's Dream

Moved to LA and DM'd over 100 influencers offering to film for them for free. My own YouTube wasn't going anywhere, so I figured if I couldn't build my own thing yet, I'd help someone else build theirs. That bet gave me the experience, the skills, and the clarity to eventually make my channel succeed.

2025
Brookz Lab & 1M+ Community

Brookz Lab & 1M+ Community

Launched Brookz Lab as the central hub for everything. Content, community, tools, and systems. By the end of the year, grew to over 1 million people across platforms. Not through trends or hacks, but through showing up and proving the work daily.

2026
The 1% Club is Born

The 1% Club is Born

Built the community I wished existed when I started. Structured around systems, powered by accountability, and engineered for real transformation. For people who are done with average and ready to build something that lasts.

Core Philosophy

The Non‑Negotiables.

These aren't just words. They're the principles behind every piece of content, every community decision, and every system I build.

Discipline Over Motivation

Motivation fades. Discipline is what moves you forward when you don't feel like it. Systems beat feelings every time.

No Shortcuts

There is no hack for real growth. Every system, every framework, every piece of advice comes from lived experience, not theory.

Execution Over Information

Knowing what to do means nothing if you don't act. Everything here is built for action, not consumption.

Radical Honesty

No sugar-coating. No telling you what you want to hear. The truth is the fastest path to real change.

Compound Over Overnight

Small shifts, repeated daily, create results most people can't explain. This isn't about massive overnight changes. It's about becoming unrecognizable over time.

Community Over Competition

Rise together. The people around you shape who you become. That's why The 1% Club exists, to put you in a room that raises your standards.

The Proof

The Environment I Engineered.
