PigaChad here... Yesterday my hands were shaking as I hovered over a buy now button on my screen. I was about to commit to 24 payments of $50 PER WEEK. $1,200 bucks. See... I've been all in this new deal making idea called a FUN auction. Had a few chats with people. Gotten on some coffee dates. Even tried running my own auction the other week. Heartache and disappointment. Auctions have been happening since early 2024... There have been tons of success stories from auctions closing at $30k total sales to $174k total sales. Back at the end of last year, Travis Sago offered this program Coffee Dates On Demand. It helps deal makers get more coffee dates for auction partners. I passed on it. I had the 24 Hour Fun Auction playbook already. I'd just use that. Well, as I said above it hasn't worked out too well for me. This past month... Travis made a new offer for those that missed out on CDOD the first go around. So... As my finger nervously tapped on the mouse after plugging in my credit card info, I felt doubts. What if in 3 weeks I can't make a payment? What if I follow the program and still don't land an auction partner? That's when I told the little devil piggy Chad on my shoulder "Get behind me Satan!" Then I started thinking... What if I get my first partner before my next payment? What if I run my first $50k - $100k auction? What if I get more partner opportunities than I can handle? That's when I pressed the button and smiled as the Venmo notification flashed across my phone screen. I made a commitment to get my first successful auction regardless of the outcome. Now, I know its not going to be all rainbows and unicorns. But... Here's what I want my PiggyBANKERS to understand. The people doing deal making to build their PiggyBANKING brand aren't waiting until they feel "ready." They're not waiting until they have results to show. They're building their brand WHILE they get traction. They're doing it even when they aren't sure of the outcome.

UPDATE: Tony has graciously provided us with two resources to help you get your PiggyBANKING Brand going today! Resource 1: Tony Teegarden's PiggyBANKING Brand Guide Resource 2: The PiggyBANKING Brand Checklist. You'll find them under the interview! ORIGINAL POST: The licensing secrets Tony used to build Meaningful Man are FINALLY revealed... (Plus how PiggyBANKERS can avoid getting personal branding completely backwards)... What's up PiggyBANKERS! For everyone who had a question for Tony? THANK YOU for participating... Tony indeed went DEEP on this call (almost an hour)... So, BUCKLE UP... If you've seen my first interview with Tony then you know he shows the receipts on everything he talks about. In this interview he shares how Personal Branding through licensing is the KEY to building real wealth instead of chasing shiny objects. Finding mentors who've actually DONE what you want to do and learning to model (not copy) their approach separates the builders from the dreamers FAST. Well @Tony Teegarden just broke down EXACTLY how he did it! This interview is LOADED but here's what we covered: ✅ The Core Skill: Modeling (Not Copying) - The starting point to living into the IP you want to PiggyBANK on ✅ AI + IP Combo - How Tony plugs artificial intelligence into intellectual property for maximum leverage ✅ Stance and Content - Why your positioning matters as much as your posts ✅ Living Into IP vs. LARPing It - The difference between authentic brand building and playing dress-up ✅ Rainmaker to Floodmaker - Tony's innovation process after mastering the fundamentals ✅ Automating the Hard Part - How Floodmaker AI handles what used to take hours of manual work ✅ SaaS as IP Containers - Thread Genius, Creator Finder, Anti-Gravity and the bigger strategy ✅ Audience Curation - Why you need to guard your pond like your financial future depends on it ✅ Personal Brand as Your Moat - The protection system around your PiggyBANKING empire

I'm getting radio silence on my post about the second interview with Tony tomorrow at 1:30 EST. My guess is you missed it. If you missed it: https://www.skool.com/piggybanking-brand-creators-8574/second-helping-of-piggybanking-goodness-coming-friday Leave your question below that post. Let's get piggy wit it, PB Chad

What's up PiggyBANKERS? I have found myself feeling a bit unmotivated since kicking off the new year. However, I've got a few things planned for our community including finishing up a PiggyBANKING Playbook, setting up a follow up interview with Mr. @Tony Teegarden (date TBD), and some other real world examples of PiggyBANKING brands. I appreciate you all hanging here with me. Before I jump... How has your 2026 been rolling so far? Let's get piggy wit it, PB Chad BTW, I've gotten on a bit of a Simpsons kick lately.

What's up PiggyBANKERS? Happy New Year a bit early. Thanks for being here and making this last quarter of 2025 a blast! Between Christmas and now I had some plans to put more stuff up here in the group. Then, I decided it could wait until after the new year. So, I've tried to take some down time, go visit my daughter and her husband and have a second Christmas at my sister-in-law's house. My wife, youngest son and me will quietly celebrate the ball drop at midnight EST. No major hoorah this year but I'm glad for simple and quiet. How about you? What have you been up to since Christmas? Do you stay up to watch the ball drop or will you already be asleep (no judgement). -PB Chad
