THE STORY
Before & After the Mastermind
Before
Matteo had been trading for 11 years and had built a services-led business generating $90,000 per month, primarily in the Italian market. Finance degree. Deep operator. Real results.
But the business was personally dependent. He was the product. There was no platform, no scalable infrastructure, and no path to the English-language market he knew he needed to reach.
After
The mastermind didn’t fix a problem, it gave Matteo the framework to make a sophisticated strategic decision: compress short-term revenue deliberately to build a scalable platform. The key insight was personal brand as infrastructure, not vanity.
He discovered that his $90K/mo business was invisible to most of his target market because he’d never built a brand around the expertise that created it. The mastermind made that gap undeniable and gave him the tools to close it.
His $250,000/mo projection is a 2.8x multiple on a pre-mastermind baseline that was already exceptional. The story isn’t growth, it’s transformation.
“
Great mastermind, great people. It is always good to learn from successful stories from people all around the world. A lot of value that I will use in my career. The vibe was amazing — Owen and his team created a very powerful and motivating environment. The connections I made and the personal brand clarity I took away will fundamentally change how I build from here.

On-Site Interview — Dubai Mastermind
Recorded on the final day of the Grow More Elite Mastermind in Dubai.
How did you originally find Owen and the mastermind?
From a friend of mine who followed Owen. I looked at his Instagram profile and thought — this guy isn’t just a trader. He knows what he’s doing in the trading industry. So I texted him and said: hi Owen, I want to start my platform in the future. Can we connect? Maybe you can inspire me. And he said — try my Dubai mastermind. That’s why I’m here.
What’s the biggest lesson you’re taking about personal brand?
If you don’t build your personal brand, nobody will know who you are. You can have the most powerful product in the world, but if you don’t sell with your personal brand, you won’t reach the right people. Once you’ve got your personal brand, people will trust you. They know who you are and you can sell everything to anybody. It’s like a celebrity walking down the street — you’d trust their recommendation without knowing them, because they have the status. That’s what a personal brand does.
What’s your 90-day plan?
Focus entirely on creating a personal brand that inspires people and where I can benefit from connection — people coming to me. The 90 days is just about focusing on creating my own personal brand and finding out what is working in the market. I also need to decide: continue in the Italian language or go worldwide. I think the second option is better. I need to improve my English slowly, slowly.
What have you learned from other members — particularly the Italian guys?
They built an affiliate community from scratch to millions with FunderPro. I want to understand the process they applied — getting affiliates, helping those affiliates create their own community, bringing people to the front of a prop firm. That’s something I’m learning from them and I hope after the mastermind we stay connected and keep learning from each other.
