Andres Mego — from sleeping in his van to $40–50K/month
Mason met Andres in 2019 at a leadership program. Out of 60 people in the room, Andres was the only one who looked him in the eye and said he didn't trust him. They became best friends.
Back then Andres was sleeping in his van — a beat-up '94 he'd named Sandy — in a Pacific Beach driveway, paying partial rent just for bathroom access. He had $21 in his bank account and put his last $500 toward leveling up.
Today Andres lives in Colombia, runs a coaching business doing $40–50K a month, and hosts retreats around the world. Before that, he spent two years as a remote closer pulling $20K+ a month.
Three things made the difference. Mason showed him the layer of the industry where closers make $20–30K a month consistently — you can't aim at what you've never seen. Mason brought him into NEPQ as a client and made sure he actually implemented it: Andres drilled it, ran it on real calls, made it his own. And Mason landed him the right offer out of his network, where Andres built the setting system around himself and got paid like a partner, not a rep.
"My current situation doesn't dictate my future." — AndresAndres held that posture for six years, and the math showed up. The gap between where you are and where you want to be isn't talent — it's seeing what's possible, going deep on one framework instead of buying ten, and getting on the right offer to play a big game.
