30 Years.
Zero Theory.

Every module in this course started as a mistake I made — then became the thing I'd tell anyone to skip the hard way. Built over 30 years across Intel, gaming, streaming and telco. You pick the modules your people actually need.

Why this exists

For thirty years I wrote down everything I learned — the wins and the disasters. At Intel I helped grow the global entertainment segment from US$2B to US$6B in two years. I also left that Fortune 10 comfort to run my own startup in Brazil, and failed. Both got documented.

The notes became a course because it took me thirty years to learn things that should have taken five — and it makes me a little crazy that the next person has to pay the same price for the same lesson.

This is not a motivational talk. There's no personality test, no framework with a trademark, no homework nobody does. Every module is a specific problem, why it costs you, and what to do differently on Monday morning. Teams leave with decisions, not notes.

"Alone, any one of us can only do so much. When one person lifts up the next, that's a chain reaction."
— Why I teach it instead of keeping it
"Talk is cheap. Action is everything."

Four ways to run it

Delivered live — in person or remote — in English, Portuguese or Spanish. Same material, same energy, no translator standing between me and your room.

Keynote

45–60 min · 1 module

One module, one room, one idea people repeat at dinner. Conferences, all-hands, university auditoriums.

Workshop

Half or full day · 2–4 modules

Small group, real problems from your business on the table, decisions made before anyone leaves.

Program

6–12 weeks · 6–12 modules

A recurring session with the same team, so the behavior actually changes instead of fading by Thursday.

University Track

Semester or intensive

Built for students about to enter the market — career ownership, relationships, ROI thinking, AI fluency.

Who it's for

Companies with good people and slow results.

Usually it isn't a talent problem. It's relationships, ownership, and nobody speaking in ROI to the person holding the budget.

Universities preparing students for the real thing.

What nobody teaches before the first job: how careers are actually built, how to be useful fast, how to use AI properly.

Conferences that want substance, not applause.

Stories from inside a Fortune 10 and from a startup that failed — with the lesson attached to both.
