Johnny

Johnny

Johnny Thompson, creator of the Turbo Makes Games YouTube channel, transformed his struggling 1,000-subscriber Unity channel into the #1 authority on Unity's Data-Oriented Technology Stack with nearly 30,000 subscribers under John Sonmez's coaching, enabling him to quit his IT job, become fully self-employed for three years with a steady stream of high-paying contracts (including a $10,000 weekend gig from a cold lead), and get invited to speak at major industry conferences.

Gregory

Gregory

Gregory, founder of Dapp University, built a multi-six-figure blockchain education business in under 18 months with John's coaching, culminating in a $75,000 launch week for his Blockchain Developer Bootcamp, a YouTube channel nearing 30,000 subscribers, a website with over 11,000 monthly active users, a $20,000 high-ticket consulting offer, and his first investment real estate deal, crediting John's strategic guidance and "multi-millionaire thinking" as the decisive force behind his rapid success.

Rob

Rob

Rob Conery, author of The Impostor's Handbook, had single 90-minute call with John and turned an expected $5-10k book launch into $75,000 in 24 hours through joint ventures, and one 10-minute coaching session while at Microsoft generated $5,000 overnight, proving John's razor-sharp, results-focused guidance consistently delivers life-changing financial wins.

Michael

Michael

After 30+ years trapped in an unfulfilling corporate tech job, Michael left to build his own company (Technically Beekeeping) around a revolutionary one-button bee smoker e-commerce product, and with John Sonmez's coaching in the Rockstar Developer Academy, he overcame crippling on-camera rookie mistakes, survived six brutal months in the "valley of despair," developed authentic grit and accountability, and ultimately launched a Kickstarter with a $10k goal that exploded to $84,000 while transforming from "Mr. Roboto" into a confident creator now riding the wave of informed optimism.
