If you’re not in the room, you’re not in the deal.

That’s the unspoken rule behind exclusive investor clubs like Tiger 21. For those who aren’t familiar, Tiger 21 is a private peer network where ultra-high-net-worth individuals—usually people with at least $10 million to invest—come together to share ideas, evaluate opportunities, and hold each other accountable.

It isn’t just about investing. It’s about belonging.

And here’s what makes it fascinating: people aren’t paying $30,000 a year just for stock tips or deal flow. They’re paying for something much rarer—curated peers. They’re paying to be vetted. To be admitted. To know they’re in the right room with the right people.

That’s the lesson for anyone who wants to attract more affluent clients: exclusivity through peer group curation. People will pay handsomely to be vetted and admitted into an environment where the very presence of others signals value.

Michael Jordan built himself a golf course. Not just any golf course — the golf course. The Grove XXIII. People call it “Slaughterhouse 23.” Why? Because if you get an invite to play and you think you’ve got game, Jordan’s going to eat you alive. The course is designed to tilt the odds ever so slightly in his favor. Not obvious. Not unfair. Just sneaky enough that the greatest competitor of all time still gets his edge.

Now, before you think this is just another story about a billionaire ex-athlete flexing his wallet, pay attention: this place is a masterclass in attention to detail. And if you’re a financial advisor, consultant, or anyone trying to work with wealthy clients, the lessons here are pure gold.

Jordan didn’t just wake up one day and say, “I’ve got money, let me pour it into some grass and sand traps.” No. He was frustrated. He didn’t like the pace of play at other clubs. Didn’t like waiting behind slow foursomes. Didn’t like the rules that didn’t fit his way of playing.

So he did what the wealthy do best: he solved the problem by creating his own world.

Imagine that. Most people complain about bad service or inconvenient systems. The affluent? They just build their own.

Lesson number one: wealthy clients expect you to build a world around them where things work faster, smoother, and better. If your service feels like waiting in line at the DMV, you’re done.

In business, we obsess over messaging.

We fine-tune our stories.

We practice our pitch.

But in rooms where real money moves—

Your words are secondary.

In today’s episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we unpack a truth that separates professionals from power players:

And if you want to be taken seriously in elite rooms, your nonverbal presence must say:

You’ll learn:

✅ Why posture, stillness, and micro-movements matter more than your script

✅ How to project confidence without saying a word

✅ What affluent clients subconsciously scan for before they engage

✅ How to use space, silence, and eye contact as tools of influence

✅ And how to command attention with elegance—not force

This episode is for anyone selling to the affluent who wants to signal credibility before the first handshake.

In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we’re unpacking one of the most misunderstood truths in high-end marketing:

At the center of this story is a boutique law firm in Manhattan—no sign, no social presence, no ads. Just a name that carries weight in rooms where names matter most.

This isn’t about reach.

It’s about resonance.

And no one embodies that more than the firm’s founder, Lillian Crest.

Harvard Law. Wellesley.

But you won’t hear her say it.

Because she doesn’t lead with credentials.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why elite clients are drawn to understatement, not overexplanation
• How quiet brands often signal more power than loud ones
• The psychology of strategic invisibility in high-net-worth circles
• What it means to design a business that whispers—and still commands attention
• Why leading with poise, not proof, is often the key to trust at the top

You know what kills more high-level success than failure? Comfort.

Most real estate agents, financial advisors, and consultants rely on what’s familiar—referrals, networking, and maybe an ad in a glossy magazine. It’s predictable. It’s safe. But here’s the hard truth: The strategies that got you here won’t necessarily take you to the next level.

If you want to attract ultra-high-net-worth clients—the kind who don’t just need your services but actively seek you out—you have to be willing to break out of your comfort zone.

In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we dive into:

✔ Why comfort is the biggest barrier to elite-level success

✔ The outdated marketing tactics keeping you stuck at "good" instead of "extraordinary"

✔ How top-tier professionals position themselves to be the only choice for affluent clients

✔ The shifts you need to make to move beyond referrals and into strategic, high-status positioning

If you’re ready to step beyond what’s “worked before” and start commanding the attention of luxury clients, this episode is for you.

Today, we leave the shore behind and dive into the opulent world of luxury yachting—where the price tags are massive, but the egos behind them? Even bigger.

At the helm is Eric Roth, founder of International Yacht Collection. But Roth wasn’t just selling boats—he was selling billion-dollar dreams. He transformed the yacht from a luxury item into the ultimate status symbol for the world’s elite.

In this episode, we explore:

• How Eric Roth positioned himself as the gatekeeper to floating palaces
• Why ultra-wealthy buyers really invest in yachts (spoiler: it’s not the speed or the spa)
• The psychology of exclusivity, privacy, and power behind every purchase
• And how Roth turned every transaction into an invitation to an elite, unspoken club

If you’re in the business of selling luxury—or want to be—this episode is a masterclass in how to move from product to prestige, and from sales to status.

In this episode, we uncover the art and science of storytelling as a game-changing tool for selling high-end experiences and services. Drawing from real-world examples of Luca “Canvas” Conti, a Milanese art dealer, and Gabriel “Odyssey” Ortega, a bespoke travel consultant, we explore how weaving compelling narratives can transform a pitch into an irresistible invitation.

Discover how Luca turned a haunting portrait into a $1.2 million sale and how Gabriel curated travel experiences that weren’t just trips but epic adventures. Whether you're selling art, luxury travel, or high-end services, these lessons will show you how to elevate your craft with the power of story.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why storytelling is a superpower in luxury sales.
• How Luca Conti used narrative to sell art through emotion, not technique.
• The secret to creating "once-in-a-lifetime" journeys with Gabriel Ortega’s approach.
• Practical tips for using storytelling to evoke emotions and close premium sales.

Key Takeaways:

1. Emotion Over Information: Buyers at the high end are driven by feelings, not facts. Learn how to craft stories that speak to their aspirations and values.
2. The Power of Context: A painting, a journey, or a service is transformed when you reveal the human stories behind them.
3. Creating Desire Through Mystery: Luca’s unmarked gallery door in Brera wasn’t just a detail; it was a signal of exclusivity. How can you incorporate subtle cues into your offerings?
4. Making Clients the Hero: Gabriel’s travel adventures weren’t just itineraries—they were epic tales waiting for his clients to step into the starring role.

Action Steps:

• Identify the “story” behind your product or service. What’s the human connection?
• Craft a narrative that evokes emotion and builds anticipation.
• Experiment with storytelling in your next pitch or client interaction.
