He got scammed for $60K on Black Friday.
Then someone showed up at his house with a gun.
And somehow, those weren't even the craziest parts of his story.
I sat down with @brezscales to hear how he went from playing Fortnite 14 hours a day in a town of 8,000 people to becoming a liquid millionaire at 20.
He lost money trading. Got scammed in NFTs. Built a clothing brand that did $30K months while he was still in high school. Then got hit with a $60K scam right when things finally seemed to be working.
At his lowest point, he wrote three things in a notebook:
“I will make it.”
“I will live in Miami.”
“I will own my dream car.”
He ended up doing all three.

He got scammed for $60K right after Black Friday.
Black Friday was supposed to be the biggest sales period of the year for his clothing brand.
Instead, @brezscales sent the orders to his manufacturer and spent the next 2 months being convinced everything was being made.
They were sending him videos as “proof.”
The videos were old.
By the time he realized what happened, $60K was gone.
(Via The Trakyo Pod)
@brezscales wrote down his future while he was at his lowest.
Years later, he found the notebook again.
The page literally said:
“I will live in Miami. I will own my dream car. I will make it.”
He had already done all three.

At 18, @PierreKhouryyy split Iman Gadzhi's $1,500 course 3 ways with his friends.
Today, he's 22 and has generated $14M in the past year.
“I went down the rabbit hole. YouTube, how to make money. Got hit with that Iman Gadzhi VSL. Bought his when I was 18. 2022. I got the course that leaked on Reddit. It was a $1,500 direct to cart. I split it with two friends. 500, 500, 500. Shout out Iman. That's what gave me a little bit of consciousness.”

He fired the agency. The next month, his clothing brand did $70K-$100K.
@brezscales was paying an agency $3K/month while doing around $30K in revenue and barely keeping $7K in profit.
He started running the ads himself and quickly realized, “What these dudes were doing is not hard.”
4-5x ROAS that month.
(Via The Trakyo Pod)
30K to 1 million followers in less than a year.
@brezscales almost didn't do it because he wanted his Instagram to “look really dope.”
Pierre and Fredo called him stupid for not reposting his TikToks to Reels.
So he started posting the exact same videos.
Less than a year later: 1M followers.

@brezscales would take sales reps on yachts, to dinners, to clubs.
Eventually, every single one started bringing an Osmo to film everything for their own content.

Nobody was watching. He still posted 4 to 6 times a day.
@brezscales was running two accounts in high school and posting on both of them every single day.
His logic was simple: every post was free distribution, and every video was another chance to make a sale.
Around 120 posts a month. Even when nobody was watching.
