Can you tell me exactly what YOUR dream is?

When you say, “I’m living the dream” what do you mean?

Let me know below.

02/12/2026

From an ACTOR standpoint.

This isn’t about politics.

It’s about career.

An actor got fired from a Bravo show because of a social media rant after the Super Bowl halftime show.

No one is taking away your freedom of speech.
But freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences. Especially when you work for major networks like ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX.

On most of the shows I’ve recurred on, I’ve had to sign agreements like this. Not taking away my voice. Just the rules of engagement. I can do whatever I want. There may just be consequences.

A major director came into FTC and said when they were choosing a series regular, the studio went through actors’ social media. One actor had some questionable posts. Honest posts. It wasn’t worth the headache. They went with the other actor.

This isn’t new. This is social media.
Actors worry about follower count when they should be worried about what’s sitting on their feed.
I’m not saying don’t post.
I’m not saying don’t share your views.
Just don’t be reckless.
I would hate for you to finally get your breakthrough and lose it over a heat-of-the-moment post.

That’s the business.

What do you think?

01/25/2026

I’ve been sitting with everything that’s happening in the world.

And I won’t lie, there’s a part of me that feels the weight of it deeply. When something real and painful is happening, it can make this whole actor conversation feel small. Auditions. Careers. Momentum.

All of it.

I felt that.

Comment SUMMIT and I’ll send you details to attend.

I also know this position well.

If I move forward like nothing is happening, people feel that too.

If I acknowledge it, there’s always a risk someone assumes intention that isn’t there.

So I took a breath and asked myself the only question that actually matters:

Does this work matter?

And the answer is yes. It always has.

Art has never been separate from the world.

And art has always been political.

Art is how we build empathy.
It’s how we feel someone else’s life for a moment.

How we understand experiences that aren’t our own.

That’s the job.

Tomorrow, Day 1 of the Think Bigger Actors Summit begins.
Not in denial.

Not pretending everything is fine.

And not quietly backing away from the work either.

We start with a kick-off call tomorrow at 10am PST, where I’ll be teaching The Difference Is You: How to Keep Your Mind in the Game.

Then you’ll hear from a therapist, casting, a showrunner, coaches, and working artists having honest conversations about what it takes to keep going right now.

I can’t wait to see you in the room.

Comment SUMMIT and I’ll send you details.

Yes or nah?

“Any agent is better than no agent.”

I keep hearing that.

Usually from actors who are frustrated. Or tired. Or staying somewhere they already know isn’t working.

And I just want to say…that might be your nervous system talking.
And the actor will always say “right?” “Know what I mean?”

Akt Akt. I’m not co-signing on that.

Because I’d hate for you to stay with a rep you don’t like or think is working for you.

And I’d hate to be that agent you’re staying with just…well, because.

This is a business. You are blocking both of you from making money. 

And sometimes…well, all the times you have to LET GO TO LET COME. 

An agent doesn’t make you legi.

Fear doesn’t build a career either.

At the Think Bigger Actors Summit, we’re getting into how actors are actually making decisions right now. And yes, they need to be different from how we made decisions five years ago…heck a year ago in this industry.

And of course, we’re going to break down how to tell when it’s strategy vs when it’s just panic dressed up as logic.

What would you add?

Number 1 alone would have saved me so much heartache and a major depression after seven seasons on a show didn’t immediately turn into another show.

Nobody really talked about that part.

Back then, actors didn’t always share this information. Yeah, the real gatekeepers…
Actors, didn’t always help the new actors. New actors were the competition. 

Meanwhile, I was out there pounding the pavement, thinking something was wrong with me.

That’s a big part of why I’m so passionate about the Think Bigger Actors Summit. And why it’s free. (Comment SUMMIT)

Because I get to be the actor I needed.

Every time I reach another win, I don’t just celebrate it.
I send the elevator back down with real conversations, real coaching, and real experiences you can actually use to move forward.

The Think Bigger Actors Summit is next week.

Over 22 guests are coming in to share what is actually working and booking right now.
Not six years ago.
Right now.

Casting.
Showrunners.
Writers.
Directors.
Actors.
Coaches.
And more.

So many people poured real love into this week, and I hope you grab a friend and check it out together.

Which are you? I’m trying to see something…

This is a hot take — or a DaJuan Take as I call them.

I believe we should be able to take a look at ourselves on screen without imploding.

And here’s the real question I care about:
Why would anyone else want to watch you if you don’t want to watch yourself?

Oof. Coming in hot.

Look, most of the time, it’s nervous system stuff.
Avoidance. Protection.
Old training that taught you to disappear instead of occupy space.

I think it shows up in auditions.
I think it affects how you adjust.
I think it shows up on set.

At the Think Bigger Actors Summit, we’re not skirting this conversation.
(Comment SUMMIT and I’ll send you all the info.)

We have two therapists coming in to talk about how your nervous system shows up in auditions, self-tapes, and on set.

Why some actors’ nervous systems go into survival mode and shut down creativity and problem-solving when they watch themselves back.

Why others learn to regulate activation so they can stay in their bodies, use the nerves, and actually make choices instead of freezing.

We’re also having working actors talk about auditions, being on set in this new environment, and why it’s more important than ever to drop old, borrowed, expired beliefs that actors keep carrying around.

These aren’t surface-level conversations.
They’re practical. They’re uncomfortable. And they affect how you show up — in your next audition and on set.

LFG!

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹.⁣ 🥵

Showrunners. Casting directors. Agents. Directors. Working actors who are actually on set right now — not talking about how it used to work, but sharing THIS present moment.⁣

The 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗕𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 is where the real conversations happen.⁣
The ones actors usually only hear after they’ve already blown the opportunity.⁣

You’ll hear:⁣
• What casting is actually responding to right now⁣
• How your nervous system is casting you — from two different therapists⁣
• Making your self tapes really work⁣
• What agents are paying attention to, how you stay on their roster, AND how you get dropped⁣
• A showrunner sharing what you can really do to book — and it’s not what you think⁣
• Everything you need to know about arriving to set, call sheets, wardrobe, and disappearing on set⁣
I’m so proud of this summit and what the industry guests have shared.⁣

This is the stuff that changes how you self tape.⁣
How you show up on set.⁣
How you think about your career when no one’s watching.⁣

Can you read a call sheet?

How’d you learn?

I was on a show for 7 seasons.
And before that, I worked.
And I learned how to read a call sheet along the way.

Translation: I faked it.

I didn’t want to raise my hand and say,
“Uh… what does the STATUS section mean?”
Or, “Do the special instructions actually apply to me?”

So I just went along with it.

Why do we do that?
Why do we nod instead of saying,
“This is my first time. Can someone help me?”

Because actors don’t want to look new.
Even when we are.

Inside the Think Bigger Actors Summit, I brought in two ADs
one theatrical, one commercial
and they break it all the way down.

How to read a call sheet.
Who you look for when you arrive.
What matters.
What doesn’t.
what happens if your late
Going to the bathroom
And so much more.

This is one of the most useful, tangible sessions in the Summit.

We were told wrong.

So wrong.

Once you book, you’re supposed to go to set and network.

You’re supposed to come away with your next job.
Meet the directors. Other actors. The showrunner. Crafty. — Anyone!

Be as nice as possible.

All wrong.

And that actually makes sense, because it never sat right with me.

If you’re always so focused on the next job, the next moment, how are you actually present for what’s happening right in front of you, in real time?

I had a deep, personal conversation with my showrunner on Electric Bloom about actors trying to network on set.

One of the things she shared completely shifted how I see this.

All I can say is this:

A lot of what acting teachers and business coaches are telling you about being on set is wrong.

That full conversation is happening inside my Think Bigger Actors Summit.

It’s free. One hundred percent free.

Comment SUMMIT and I’ll send you the sign-up details.
Because every job counts.

What do you need to get rid of immediately?

I used to think I kept all these things because “one day” I might need them again. Or wouldn’t it be great to show my kids these and laugh one day?!

Turns out they don’t care.

And what I realized was holding all this stuff was keeping me energetically stuck.

Tethering to a time and consciousness that no longer exists.

Yeah, sure, it’s great to have keepsakes or stuff in an album or digital place.

The more I move through this business, the more I realize something actors don’t say out loud enough:

what worked before doesn’t always work now.

If you want the link, drop teleprompter in the comments and I’ll DM it to you.

That old “memorize everything or else” mindset?

It doesn’t match the way auditions actually work today.

The pace is different.

The expectations are different.

The turnaround is different.

And using a teleprompter is one of the biggest shifts actors are still avoiding.

I’ve booked
I’ve gotten callbacks
I’ve won rooms

All using a teleprompter...

Using a teleprompter doesn’t make you robotic.

It doesn’t make you “less of an actor.”

It’s a strategy — when you actually know how to work it.

That’s why I built this training:

to turn teleprompter auditions into grounded, bookable performances.

How to stay connected to the character.
How to set up the tech without chasing lines.
How to use eyelines correctly.
How to make the camera stay on you — not the scroll.

If you want the link, drop teleprompter in the comments and I’ll DM it to you.

I’m rolling into this new year working smarter, harder - just because actors in the past did it a certain way. Barf. 🤮
