Biography

[edit]

Pablo Henrique Costa Marçal was born on April 18, 1987 in Goiânia, Goiás, the son of a civil servant and a maid. At the age of 18, he began his career as a call center attendant at the now-defunct Brasil Telecom.[4]

After graduating in Law, he began working at a family business, until he became a consultant, where he began selling personal development courses on the internet.[4] Marçal became famous for his coaching and his fortune in 2024 reached R$ 193 million (US$35 million).[5]

He began to gain prominence in the mass media in 2022, when he led an expedition to Pico dos Marins — one of the highest peaks in the Serra da Mantiqueira — which required the rescue of firefighters due to the exposure of 32 people to life-threatening risks.[6][7]
