The Cohort

Ronald Wayne · Founder

A 5-week live system for getting paid by brands.

No more guessing. No more "I'll just post more and hope someone reaches out." The P.A.I.D. framework is the same set of moves Ronald used to turn 11 years of photography into a brand-funded business. The full curriculum, schedule, and bonuses drop on July 22 — waitlist gets the first look.

Pillar P: Positioning

Own a Category Before You Compete in One

Most creatives compete for attention in crowded markets. Positioning changes the game by making you synonymous with a specific outcome, niche, or expertise so brands think of you before they start searching for alternatives.

A

Pillar A: Attracting

Build Visibility That Compounds

Most content creates temporary attention. Strategic visibility creates long-term demand. Learn how to distribute proof, stories, and expertise in a way that attracts opportunities long after the content is published.

I

Pillar I: Investing

Create Relationship Equity

The strongest careers aren't built on one-off projects. They're built on trust, reputation, and strategic relationships that grow more valuable over time. Learn how to make every opportunity compound into future opportunities.

D

Pillar D: Documenting

Turn Your Work Into Proof

Most creatives finish a project and move on. The highest-paid creatives turn every project into evidence. Build a documented track record that increases credibility, strengthens authority, and makes future deals easier to close.

Skip this if…

  • You want passive income with zero effort
  • You won't show up to live calls
