About this episode
In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we’re flipping the script on one of the most overused, misapplied pieces of marketing advice:
“Be relatable.”
Because at the high end of the market, that doesn’t win you clients.
It loses you gravity.
Meet Julian Nance, a family office advisor in Aspen who works exclusively with clients who either own private jets—or could if they wanted to.
Julian doesn’t do small talk.
He doesn’t do "authentic vulnerability" posts.
He doesn’t try to be liked.
And yet, he’s built a multi-seven-figure firm on one principle:
“People don’t want to relate to you. They want to rise to you.”
Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why affluent clients aren’t looking for someone who reminds them of their past
- How to build aspirational authority instead of social familiarity
- Why your tone, body language, and aesthetic matter more than your backstory
- How Julian uses presence—not relatability—to command respect
- The single most important mindset shift if you want to attract high-net-worth clients
