Five channels, six videos, and every one of them is the same structure: name the elite room you were in, then hand over a counted list of what you learned there.
Kenny Finance and Codie Sanchez are the two exact-title matches, eight months apart, on channels 40x apart in size. That is the pattern, and it is live.
Both Filterbuy videos open on the credential before anything else. The first one's cold open is "I spent years as a VP at Goldman Sachs at my peak making $2 million per year," then it counts off four concepts. The second opens "Before Filterbuy, I spent years on Wall Street." Same lever as Dan's, aimed at a list.
Humphrey Yang is the count itself at a million views, proving the numbered version of an insider-money list travels far past the finance audience. Nischa carries the weakest multiple here but puts the credential in the title and still cleared 348K, so it stays as support.
Dan's version of this lever is stronger than any of theirs: JPMorgan and Deloitte plus 18 years in Special Forces, and unlike Kenny he is not describing a job he left, he is describing the exact filter he still runs deals through.
Note for the recording: none of the items need a named client or a specific JPMorgan or Deloitte transaction. The lesson is the asset, not the deal it came from, and every proof point can come from a business Dan has bought or passed on himself.
A/B note: the titles pair off on the institution, JPMorgan against Wall Street, same video either way. JPMorgan is the specific verifiable name, Wall Street is the broader familiar one. Run both.
Dan lists the 10-15 things his years at JPMorgan taught him about sizing up a business.
For each one he:
He closes on the single rule from that era he still refuses to break.
