The turning point came when I stopped following the system’s script and built a method rooted in my corporate reality — with salaries, bonuses, metrics, and all the pressure that comes with them.
Transform Your Income. Build Your Freedom.
An exclusive mentorship for professionals
ready to design life beyond the paycheck
Built From Experience,
Focused on Your Freedom
Most conversations about personal finance sound convincing in theory, yet few reflect the reality of corporate life — where KPIs, internal politics, and performance pressure coexist with the desire to build a stable and sustainable future. For professionals living in this rhythm, performance and freedom often pull in opposite directions. That is why TIMES8 exists.
I spent 21 years in the corporate world, 14 in leadership roles across three continents, leading supply chains through constant crises, career transitions, family demands, and the relentless pressure to deliver more.
Like many professionals, I followed the traditional playbook: save more, earn more, keep going. But over time, the numbers didn’t add up — and neither did the life I was building.
What began as a personal strategy, refined over eight years, evolved into The Leeway Method™ — a strategic approach to financial positioning designed to sustain your career and expand your future options. It turns complexity into clarity and builds momentum through simple, consistent moves that compound over time, so you can focus on what truly matters: building freedom with purpose.
What Makes TIMES8 Unique:
- Real corporate experience, distilled into a strategic vision that connects performance, capital, and freedom
- Built for professionals who operate under targets and results, turning performance into leverage for purposeful wealth
- Structured to preserve value by minimizing costs and avoiding taxes, commisions and fees beyond what’s fair and necessary
- Anti-System in essence, authentic by principle
- Driven by one purpose: your long-term freedom
We Don’t Fight the System. We Illuminate It.
The financial system was never designed for your freedom. It was built for your dependence.
Banks profit from your fees, brokers from your trades, governments from your taxes, and the media from your attention.
Even what looks alternative often masks new forms of control, wrapped in fresh language to stay commercially appealing.
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles.”
— Sun Tzu
At TIMES8, we translate this timeless principle for the modern world — exposing how these forces quietly redirect your potential wealth into theirs, and how clarity, strategy, and positioning return the advantage to you.
Our Anti-System Code:
Rather than trying to beat the system with complex formulas, TIMES8 shows you how to reposition within it — using your income, your decisions, and your career to build your financial sovereignty over time.
The Leeway MethodTM
The Leeway Method is the engine powering the TIMES8 Financial Sovereignty pillar.
Developed and refined over more than eight years, it was created with one clear purpose: to simplify the financial complexity imposed by the system and provide corporate professionals with a path to expand their future options — without compromising their goals or surrendering control to the institutions that profit from their progress.
Grounded in eight core principles that guide decisions, strengthen habits, and shape strategies, the method is built around three interconnected pillars that work together to form a complete, practical, and consistent approach to financial sovereignty.
More than a framework, the Leeway Method™ is a philosophy of wealth-building — solid, resilient, and applicable to the real world for those who choose to take ownership of their financial path.

Your Financial Transformation
The TIMES8 Financial Sovereignty Mentorship goes far beyond a financial plan or a passing method.
It introduces an integrated philosophy that connects every dimension of your life to expand potential, reinforce control, and multiply future options.
When approached with strategy, your corporate career becomes a true engine of wealth creation, providing cash flow, structure, and leverage. Yet most professionals fail to recognize this potential — confined within a system that keeps them cycling through earning, spending, and repeating.
At this point, your transformation begins — with clarity. You learn how the system truly works and how to stop feeding it. From there, the focus shifts to repositioning your career, your income, and your decisions to build long-term growth with purpose and intent.
Through the TIMES8 mentorship, you learn to:
- Regain control of your income and channel it toward building ownership, not just lifestyle.
- Remove systemic friction and dependencies that limit your progress
- See your financial position, habits, and long-term strategy with clarity
- Prioritize what truly matters, reducing distractions, opinions, and tactics that serve others more than you.
- Build a system that runs in the background while you stay focused on your work and your life
- Strengthen your foundation for future decisions, with more control, fewer variables, and greater confidence
This is not a surface-level reset. It is a deep realignment of how you grow, what you build, and who ultimately benefits from your effort.
Mentorship Formats
The more restricted a professional’s freedom becomes, the easier it is for the system to extract value from them.
Through unnecessary asset rotation, idle capital, recurring fees, and avoidable taxes. What seems like prudence is often the result of quietly conditioned behavior — following rules created to serve banks, governments, brokers, and the media.
The TIMES8 Mentorship Formats are designed to interrupt that cycle, strengthening your future without destabilizing your present.
From the very first session, the Leeway Method™ begins to dismantle the confusion most people associate with money, replacing noise with clarity and providing a structured, direct path to growing freedom.
One-on-One Mentorship
Built entirely around your reality — your goals, your income, and the level of control you’re ready to develop.
You’ll work directly with our founder, who brings over 20 years of global corporate experience, including 14 in leadership, and a proven track record in long-term investing across markets and cycles.

One-on-one mentorship shortens the distance between where you are and the freedom you’re capable of building. It protects your energy, saves time, and keeps you focused with a future designed with intention.

FAQ
Why does TIMES8 matter to corporate professionals?
Because most professionals are taught to work for short-term earnings, not to build long-term ownership.
They learn to grow their careers, not their future independence.
According to Pew Research (2023), only 27% of U.S. adults feel confident creating a long-term wealth strategy.
And in PwC’s 2023 survey, nearly half of professionals earning over $100,000 a year still report financial stress.
It’s the same pattern everywhere: directionless guidance and short-term thinking keep millions stuck — advancing in title without advancing in freedom.
TIMES8 was built for those who recognize the risk of staying unplanned for too long and seek to turn results into assets, and income into sovereignty.
“A career is the means. Sovereignty, the destination.”
Rodrigo Lavrador – Founder, Times8
Who is the TIMES8 mentorship created for?
TIMES8 is the only mentorship designed for corporate professionals who want to turn their careers into a vehicle for building financial sovereignty and a life driven by purpose and greater optionality.
Born from over twenty years of global corporate experience — navigating goals, bonuses, internal politics, performance pressure, and the invisible barriers that shape professional growth — we understand the complexity you operate in and know how to turn it into strategic advantage.
The Leeway Method™, built on years of experience and continuous refinement, provides a proprietary structure to reduce paycheck dependency, invest with direction, and make both financial and career decisions with clarity and confidence.
Whether you aim to stay in the corporate world, pivot to a new path, take a pause, or build something of your own, TIMES8 turns your professional journey into a platform for evolution — without wasting years or dismantling what you’ve built.
If what you seek is a life of greater optionality, clear direction, and independence over your own future, achieved through financial sovereignty, TIMES8 was built for you.
How much time do I need to commit to the mentorship?
TIMES8 was conceived for professionals with demanding lives who value time as their most strategic asset. Each stage of the mentorship is designed to align naturally with your rhythm, through deliberate, precise, and consistent adjustments that drive real progress without unnecessary pressure.
Sessions are concise, structured, and personalized to your reality. The focus is on strategic decisions and purposeful action — not on multiplying tasks, but on refining movements that bring clarity and direction.
Part of the progress begins with a focus on reducing noise and eliminating intellectual and emotional waste. Those distractions — superficial advice, easy promises, and market noise — are part of the System’s design to keep you dependent and reactive. The Leeway Method™ begins by reversing that conditioning: it restores discernment, strengthens independent thinking, and reorients your energy toward what truly matters.
Here, time is not measured in hours but in lucidity.
Each encounter is crafted to simplify decisions, channel energy, and create space for what truly matters, a life guided by purpose, direction, and sovereignty over your own time and future.
The mentorship doesn’t consume your time, it gives it back.
Is a financial background required for the TIMES8 mentorship?
Not at all.
The Leeway Method™ was developed from real corporate experience — not for finance specialists, but for professionals who earn in the real world and want to turn that income into growing independence.
The mentorship begins exactly where you are and moves forward with clarity and structure, teaching you to think with financial logic, act with confidence, and channel your income toward building assets and sovereignty independently.
Complexity, in this field, is one of the System’s preferred strategies — a mechanism designed to keep many dependent and uncertain.
TIMES8 counters this with clarity, relevance, and grounded execution, transforming financial knowledge from something intimidating into a tool for freedom and conscious decision-making.
Is TIMES8 for everyone?
Sincerely, no — and that is intentional.
TIMES8 was created for professionals who seek to build the highest level of independence their reality allows, following a solid, disciplined, and deliberate path — one that runs quieter and deeper than the noise that surrounds them.
It is not for those chasing shortcuts, reacting to every market trend, or moving with the patterns the System promotes to keep people distracted, dependent, and predictable.
The System thrives on mass behavior.
Freedom begins when you question whether that path meaningfully aligns with yours.
That moment of lucidity is the turning point — and from there, TIMES8 exists to help transform clarity into direction, and direction into personal sovereignty and optionality.
TIMES8 is for the corporate professional who has decided to stop being a passenger in their own financial journey and start shaping a future that reflects conscious choice.
Mentorship is a commitment — and so is freedom.
If this vision resonates with you, TIMES8 may be the natural next step in building your freedom.
What is the Leeway Method™ based on?
The Leeway Method™ is grounded in timeless economic principles, years of real-world application, and continuous refinement through experience and observation of how both markets and people behave.
Inspired by the thinking of Ray Dalio, Nassim Taleb, Benjamin Graham, and Warren Buffett, it blends ideas such as risk asymmetry, value investing, and macroeconomic cycles with the daily realities faced by corporate professionals — those balancing careers, income, and decision fatigue under constant pressure.
Yet this is not theory for theory’s sake.
The strength of the Leeway Method™ lies in its ability to translate solid economic foundations into clear, actionable strategies, including for those without a financial base.
Developed, tested, and refined over nearly a decade, the method was shaped within the real demands of a global corporate career, across markets and life transitions.
The result is a framework built for longevity, clarity, and personal sovereignty — one that transforms complexity into direction and enables progress with confidence, even when time is limited.
How is the investment in the TIMES8 mentorship defined?
The TIMES8 mentorship is a tailored partnership, not a standardized product.
It was never meant for mass enrollment or predefined formulas.
Each mentorship is crafted around the individual — their goals, their reality, and the level of commitment they are ready to bring.
The Leeway Method™ provides the foundation, but every journey is tailored to your financial landscape, professional path, and the future you intend to build.
For that reason, we do not publish fixed rates.
Investment details are discussed during your Discovery Call, once alignment, timing, and intent are confirmed.
By then, you will already have full clarity on what distinguishes this mentorship: strategic direction, discernment, and long-term vision.
Ultimately, what defines this investment is not the amount, but the transformation it enables — measured in confidence, autonomy, and personal sovereignty.
This mentorship continues to compound its value over time.
What you build here becomes yours for life.
