From the Founder: Why I Walked Away from the Noise — and What I’m Building Instead

🧠 Where I Started, and Why I Had to Rethink Everything

I was born into a Cuban family that taught me how to survive, adapt, and lead with love.

As a child, I was given six months to live. I became part of a clinical trial — the Titanium Rib Project — a last-chance option not yet approved by the FDA. Somehow, I made it. That path gave me the chance to grow into the person I am today.

When I first started thinking about our content strategy, I was focused on scale.

I wanted to build magnetic content for UpClicks — content that looked elite, felt elite, and could indoctrinate an audience to trust us, follow us, and eventually buy from us. I didn’t care about vanity or clout — I was focused on creating content that sells. That meant using what works: future-focused narratives, AI trends, tech commentary, and breakdowns of what the “elites” were doing.

The plan made sense. Still does.

But the more I paid attention to what was actually happening online — and what I was feeling internally — the more I realized I couldn’t go all-in on that direction.

Something felt off.

🧭 The Vision That Led Me Here

For months, I thought I was building content just to play the game: make noise, show up on the feed, share insights, and win clients. And in some ways, that was true. But deep down, something kept bothering me. Something felt off about the whole space I was preparing to enter.

Every day I’d scroll and see the same things:

• AI hype pushed like gospel

• Endless breakdowns of billionaires’ business moves

• Speculation dressed as foresight

• Techno-optimism from people with no skin in the game

It was everywhere. But something told me: this wasn’t just a trend — it was a trap.

And it hit me one day, after another conversation where someone parroted talking points like they were possessed by a script. That’s when I realized:

This isn’t content. It’s a new kind of propaganda.

And I wasn’t going to be part of it.

🔥 The Truth That Changed Everything

At first, I thought I was just seeing patterns. Then I realized I was watching a machine in motion.

What we’re living through isn’t just technological advancement. It’s a digital regime shift.

And the propaganda doesn’t come from military generals or heads of state. It comes through:

• Viral LinkedIn posts

• “Thought leaders” praising tools they barely use

• Hype videos about innovations that don’t even exist

It’s not about education. It’s about indoctrination.

And the class structure around it is perfectly engineered:

• The Elites stay mostly silent. They don’t evangelize. They observe. They mine data. They watch how narratives spread, not how truth is built. They quietly shape behavior through algorithms and infrastructure.

• The Upper Middle Class (the influencer class, consultants, technophiles) parrot Big Tech’s talking points in hopes of status or proximity to wealth. They unknowingly do the system’s bidding, thinking they’re ahead of the curve, while feeding it free labor, audience growth, and market feedback.

• The Middle Class consumes it all as truth. They adjust their expectations, their careers, their lives. They think they’re being smart by following the “insights” from the upper middle class, not realizing they’re caught in a feedback loop created by those who have no real power.

It’s Fidel Castro in 4K.

The same way he promised hope and liberation only to consolidate power, Big Tech offers abundance and convenience while centralizing control.

People don’t see it because it looks like progress.

But when everyone starts speaking the same, posting the same, dreaming the same,

we haven’t gained freedom. We’ve lost individuality.

I refuse to be a mouthpiece for a system I don’t believe in.

💡 The Strategy That Breaks the Cycle

I believe this:

The future belongs to those who see the system, but don’t submit to it.

That’s what this brand — my content, UpClicks, everything — is about.

It’s not about resisting tech. I use it every day. I build brands with it.

It’s about staying sovereign while using it.

It’s about remembering that strategy, truth, and legacy matter more than hype.

That’s why I’m shifting how I create content:

🧱 From:

“Let’s look elite and talk about the future so we seem like we belong with the winners.”

✅ To:

“Let’s actually become winners by being real, strategic, and spiritually unfuckwithable — and show others how to do the same.”

I want to attract people who see through the noise.

Business owners. Creators. People with soul, who want clarity, not just cash.

And I want those people to build with us — because they’ll build something that lasts.

🧠 STRATEGY OVERVIEW

We’re still operating with the dual-brand structure, but now with deeper clarity on what makes us magnetic:

1. Devin Alvarez (

The Sovereign Archetype

)

My personal brand becomes the voice of clarity, not chaos.

Core segment themes:

• This Made Me: From being a child patient to developing relentless self-discipline — why I’m built different.

• Grateful AF Fridays: Legacy > Likes.

• Flashback Therapy: I survived more than most people could even imagine.

• Sovereign Survival: I’ve walked through hell and built from it — this series is my philosophy, story, and stance on life, society, and freedom.

Purpose:

→ Earn trust

→ Build reverence

→ Become the signal, not the noise

2. UpClicks (

The Sharp Operator

)

This is the execution brand. Still tactical, but now from a place of sovereignty, not trend-chasing.

Core segment themes:

• What’s Working Now: Not hype, but actual marketing moves that convert.

• Brand Breakdowns: Decoding story vs. sales in real brands.

• Tech Tools & Truth: AI you can actually use — and what to ignore.

• Strategy > Speculation: Why clarity outperforms chaos.

Purpose:

→ Build authority

→ Attract high-value, truth-seeking clients

→ Close deals faster

🔗 HOW THEY INTERLOCK

Devin is the soul. UpClicks is the system.

• Devin’s content reveals who you are — even before you realize it.

Through storytelling, raw reflection, and lived experience, I hold up a mirror. I speak to the overlooked instincts, the inner truths, the quiet skepticism people carry. My story isn’t shared to impress — it’s shared to awaken. It gives people permission to question what they’ve been told, and remember who they were before the noise.

• UpClicks shows you what to do — and how to build real value with it.

Once someone wakes up, they need more than inspiration. They need execution. Systems. Messaging. Marketing that reflects sovereignty, not dependency. That’s where UpClicks comes in — transforming personal truth into brand power, visibility, and results. Whether it’s a product, a story, or a service, we show you how to scale it without selling out.

Together, we offer a full-spectrum transformation:

• Devin helps you remember who you are.

• UpClicks helps you build what you’re meant to lead.

People will come for the insights — and stay because we actually walk our talk.

This collapse of personal conviction + technical execution is our edge.

This is how we build magnetic brands outside the Matrix.

🌐 The Sovereign Business Ethos

We’re building a brand that makes people feel:

• Seen in their complexity

• Respected in their skepticism

• Equipped with real insight

• Encouraged to think for themselves

We are not here to worship technology.

We are here to wield it with clarity.

That is what UpClicks stands for.

That is what I stand for.

That is what the future needs.
