In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we’re telling the story that so many sharp, capable professionals will find painfully familiar:

Meet Liana Bell, an estate strategist with elite-level skills… stuck serving upper-middle-class clients who were kind, loyal, and stable—

But not connected.

Not powerful.

Not opening doors.

For six years, Liana was the invisible expert.

She had the knowledge, the polish, the drive—

But she couldn’t crack the velvet rope.

Until one Tuesday afternoon… everything changed.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why being great isn’t enough to attract elite clients
• What separates safe clients from status clients
• The key moment that shifted Liana’s visibility and credibility in affluent circles
• How to move from being appreciated… to being sought after
• A framework for repositioning yourself as someone who belongs in legacy conversations

In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we explore the rare moment that separates the visible from the undeniable—

Meet Vanessa Torres, founder of a boutique PR agency in Manhattan.

Her nickname? The Velvet Touch.

Her specialty? Turning scandals into stories and nobodies into household names.

She had status.

She had polish.

But she hadn’t broken through—not yet.

That is, until she met The Kingmaker—a single high-power client who didn’t just elevate her reputation…

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• What defines a “Kingmaker” client—and how to identify them in your world
• How Vanessa used one elite relationship to leapfrog years of incremental growth
• Why proximity to power creates secondhand authority
• The subtle art of turning one deal into a dozen without chasing referrals
• How to attract the client who makes others see you differently—and say yes faster

In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we’re going beyond tactics and client acquisition.

We’re talking about transformation—your own.

Because the moment you begin working with high-net-worth clients, everything changes.

Not just your income.

This is the story of Max Brenner—a 28-year-old junior advisor who didn’t look like he belonged in the room… until he spoke up and shifted the conversation.

What happened next didn’t just launch his career.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• How proximity to the affluent sharpens your confidence and thinking
• What elite clients unintentionally teach you just by being around them
• Why you stop playing small the moment you're in bigger rooms
• How to go from "hoping to impress" to naturally commanding attention
• Three internal shifts that happen when you move from selling down… to serving up

In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we’re exploring one of the most powerful—and least discussed—tools in affluent client attraction:

Meet Carter DuPont—a man you wouldn’t peg as a power player at first glance.

No loud suits. No over-polished brand. No “top advisor” badge.

And yet, when he walks into a room full of decision-makers…

Why?

Because Carter isn’t just present—he’s framed.

He’s not just a consultant.

He’s “the guy that founder swears by.”

“The one who only shows up at the right events.”

“The one whose name gets passed, not posted.”

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• What The Velvet Frame is—and how to build one
• How to shape perception so high-net-worth clients view you as elevated before you speak
• Why showing up in the right places matters more than being everywhere
• The subtle difference between attention and affiliation
• Why the most powerful kind of marketing is when someone else tells your story first

In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we explore a deeper layer of client attraction—one that lives beyond marketing funnels and polished personal brands:

Meet Camille Stratton, a legacy consultant in Sausalito whose practice operates quietly—just like her clients prefer.

No signage. No funnel. No social content.

Just a reputation that travels ahead of her.

Camille doesn’t “pitch.”

She doesn’t “position.”

She doesn’t try to be known by many.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why the most powerful client introductions happen before you even know they’re happening
• How to cultivate a brand that gets mentioned in rooms you’re not in yet
• The difference between being visible… and being anticipated
• How Camille designs subtle cues of trust, elegance, and exclusivity
• What it means to build a business where your reputation speaks before you do

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

In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we’re flipping the script on one of the most overused, misapplied pieces of marketing advice:

Because at the high end of the market, that doesn’t win you clients.

It loses you gravity.

Meet Julian Nance, a family office advisor in Aspen who works exclusively with clients who either own private jets—or could if they wanted to.

Julian doesn’t do small talk.

He doesn’t do "authentic vulnerability" posts.

He doesn’t try to be liked.

And yet, he’s built a multi-seven-figure firm on one principle:

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why affluent clients aren’t looking for someone who reminds them of their past
• How to build aspirational authority instead of social familiarity
• Why your tone, body language, and aesthetic matter more than your backstory
• How Julian uses presence—not relatability—to command respect
• The single most important mindset shift if you want to attract high-net-worth clients

In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we’re exposing one of the most costly mistakes professionals make when trying to grow their business:

Meet Trevor Madsen, an executive coach who did everything the marketing gurus told him to:

• Daily LinkedIn posts
• YouTube content
• Funnels, freebies, and calendar links
• Stock video ads featuring slow-motion power walks through airports

And it worked… kind of.

He got attention.

He got leads.

But he didn’t get leverage.

Trevor’s calendar was full—

But full of browsers, coupon-chasers, and “just curious” calls.

The clients he actually wanted—the discreet, powerful, high-net-worth professionals—weren’t coming through the funnel.

Because the funnel was built for everyone.

And when your brand speaks to everyone?

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why mass-market appeal is poison for high-end positioning
• How broad messaging dilutes elite credibility
• The invisible line between “accessible” and “expendable”
• What Trevor did to reposition—and attract a different class of client
• How to shift from “look at me” energy to magnetize the right people

In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we explore a concept more powerful than pitch decks, processes, or pricing when it comes to selling to the wealthy:

Meet Elise, a private spa owner in Palm Beach whose website says almost nothing about her credentials—

But says everything about her standards.

No pricing.

No testimonials.

No list of services.

Just one unmissable message:

Elise doesn’t lead with features.

That’s the difference between being chosen… and being sought after.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why high-net-worth clients don’t “shop”—they recognize
• How to build a brand that radiates insider energy without being flashy
• What Elise’s brand teaches us about selling trust without over-explaining
• How to make clients want access to you—not just your offer
• The one branding metric that matters at the top of the market: Do you feel like one of us?

In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we’re dismantling one of the most common misconceptions about selling to the wealthy:

It’s not.

Meet Edward Kim—a man with two homes, no interest in spreadsheets, and a decision-making lens that has nothing to do with returns… and everything to do with who he’s becoming.

He doesn’t ask, “What’s the yield?”

He asks, “Does this align with my story?”

And that’s where so many advisors, consultants, and luxury professionals get it wrong.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why affluent clients make decisions based on identity, not data
• How to align your offer with who your client wants to become
• The psychology of narrative-based purchasing at the high end
• Why "value" is defined emotionally, not numerically, in luxury markets
• How to shift from selling outcomes… to selling elevated self-perception
