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.

Comment SUMMIT and I’ll send you all the details.

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. 🤮

Black Friday at Think Bigger is live — and this year I pulled out the real tools actors actually use to book.

Not theory. Not “one day.” The stuff that gets you working now.

If you want the deals sent straight to you, comment Black Friday and I’ll get them in your hands.

Every day this week unlocks a different piece of the craft/business/work triangle — the things actors normally try to figure out alone at 2am before a tape, or right after reps ghost them, or when they’re staring at a script thinking, “What’s the actual choice here?”

I built these so you don’t have to guess.
You tap in, you train smart, and you move.

If you’re an actor gearing up for 2026 and you want momentum — the kind that actually shows up in your tapes, your reps, your bookings — this is the window.

I’ll always bring the mindset work, you know that. But these deals give you the doing to match it.

They drop at 7am PT each day and disappear 24 hours later.

Comment Black Friday and I’ll send you the deals before they’re gone.

When do you put on your wardrobe?
Real question — not a trick one.

An actor inside my First Team Collective — someone right on the edge of booking — asked me this, and I realized… nobody teaches actors this part.
It sounds basic until you’re actually on set, staring at your clothes like, “Am I supposed to be in this right now or…?”

Here’s how I handle it after years of doing this gig:
I don’t sit in wardrobe all day.
Most of the time I’m in a suit, so I’ll throw on a base layer and tell base camp, “Give me a 10-minute heads up before you need me.”
Then I change and head straight to set.

Some actors get fully dressed the moment they walk into the trailer.
There’s no one right way — just make sure whatever you choose keeps you comfortable and keeps the set moving.

What’s your move?
Do you get dressed right away or wait until the last second?

Prove me wrong.

But this is still the best way to network on set:

Show up.
Do the job you were hired to do.
Then get out of the way.

Not every set is built for “networking,” and honestly, the fastest way to tank your energy is trying to be everyone’s new best friend just to see what you can get out of them.

It might be their DAY 7, and they’re ready to wrap this episode.
You coming in hot trying to “network” because someone told you that’s what you should do?

Yeah… that’s gonna land with a big “ugggghhh.”

But if you walk in and just handle what you were hired to do, it shifts the whole room.

People breathe.
The energy settles.
And suddenly it’s, “Oof, I’m so glad you’re here. Thank you for being here.”

This is the same thing I tell my actors inside First Team Collective — real networking is doing your job so well that people remember the experience of working with you, not the pitch you tried to make.

Don’t take anything personal on set.
Do your job — because it is a job — and make everyone’s day easier.

What’s the best (or worst) on-set networking advice you’ve ever heard?

11/05/2025

Do you believe that about 85% of this business is marketing?

Let me know in the comments because here’s what I see…

Actors say they want to work, but most are scared to be seen.

Everybody loves “the craft.”
Everybody loves class.
Everybody loves doing the work — especially in those intimate black box rooms where you can dig in, take risks, and really feel…

Until the work becomes putting yourself out there. Letting people know that you’ve booked.

Here’s the part nobody wants to admit — this business shifted and a lot of actors haven’t shifted with it. The “train hard, stay humble, hope to be discovered” approach? That era’s done.

You still need to be great at your craft. That never changes. You still need to be undeniable on set and on these tapes. But if you’re hiding until someone picks you… you’re not in the game.

So choose:

Cling to the old way because it feels safer.
Or show up like someone who actually wants to book work — not just talk about it.

Up to you.

And we haven’t even gotten into the fact that you can create your own content… You can get in front of your audience right now. Build heat. Build your lane. No permission slip required. I’ll save that for another video tho.

Do you wait to post until you know you made the cut?

“What if you got cut out?”
“What if your part’s small?”

Okay, this is a fun story.

I booked a studio feature earlier this year — and yeah, I’ve been out here telling people about it… even though I have no idea if I made the final cut.

Here’s the thing — that’s not your job. To worry about that…

Your job is to let people know you’re out here working.
Almost 89.9% of our job as actors is marketing — making sure people know you exist.

We’ve been told, “Just be the best classroom actor you can be and they’ll come.”
That’s old-school advice. It doesn’t fit this digital age.

So yeah, keep doing the black box theater classes wishin’, hopin’, and prayin’ —
or start owning that one of your jobs as an actor is to tell people what you’re doing.

Because nobody’s sitting around in an afghan with hot cocoa watching everything you do.
They won’t know unless you tell them.

So the next time you book, or have something coming out — go yell it from the mountaintops.
Because work begets work.

Love you big. You got this.

Be honest - do you wait to post until you know made the cut?
