Awesome! That's a great endorsement!
Now we'll need to apply some serious peer pressure for an Effective D ;)

where do you live?

you need a valid passport to travel but you actually need a visa to enter the US, if your country is not a member of the visa waiver program. [0]

I'm from Brazil, and for what I read I don't think that applies
to us.

It is true that the VWP does not apply to Brazil. But according to the list lower down on that page the State Department only refuses 3.5% of requests from Brazil so I imagine that it would be fairly easy to get one. The type of visa you will specifically need is a B1 visa.
