A structured 6-week advisory for accomplished professionals who are ready to stop thinking about it and start building: a personal brand, a side business, a portfolio of bets, or the foundations of a fully independent life.
Over the past year, accomplished people started reaching out: senior engineers, PMs, consultants, founders. Not asking about getting a new job, but asking how to build something of their own alongside it.
This is not a course. No modules, no recorded videos, no generic frameworks. A direct engagement built around your specific situation and the thinking required to actually move.
After enough of those conversations, a pattern was clear. The same questions, the same blockers, the same missing pieces. So I built a structure around what was already working informally and made it available to a small number of people at a time.
For you if
Not for you if
Each session builds on the last. By the end you will have clarity, a plan, and the first real steps already taken. Not a document that sits in Notion.
Diagnosis
Where you actually are, what you actually want, and what is genuinely in the way. No fluff. We start with a clear map.
Positioning & direction
What your asymmetric bet is. What you should build, write about, or create, and why it suits you specifically.
Personal brand strategy
Content format, platform, voice, funnel. Practical and tailored, not generic advice that works for a fitness influencer.
Business model & monetisation
How the thing you’re building actually makes money. Revenue models, pricing psychology, first customer playbook.
Execution & leverage
How to use AI, tools, and systems to move faster with less time. You still have a job. This is how you build anyway.
The long game
Building the mental models and habits that compound over years. Sovereign thinking. The Lindy approach to your career.
Same 6-week programme. Two levels of access. Pay in full or split into two instalments.

Cyrus got me into Google at 18 without a degree, then Tesla at 20. Most people would have stopped there. He didn’t let me. Since the Independence Programme I’ve built a personal brand from zero to thousands of followers, a portfolio of bets with several already generating income, and investment positions I wouldn’t have known to make. He doesn’t just advise on one thing. He thinks about your whole picture: career, brand, money, sovereignty. His philosophy and anti-mimetic view on life is 1 of 1. I’ve spoken to others he’s worked with across completely different backgrounds, ages, and industries. Every single one of us is compounding in the right direction. I’m 23 and I have the option to walk away from employment whenever I choose.
