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?

If you want this year’s Black Friday deals, comment “Black Friday.

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?

Actors—how do you really feel when someone asks, “So… how’s acting going?”

I was in Vegas this weekend with my family and I got asked that over and over again.

At some point, I wanted to just say—“Google me!”
But many moons ago, when I used to hear that question, I’d get instantly upset. Defensive. Embarrassed.

I’d project my feelings about my career onto them—making them the enemy. Like… how could they ask me that?! Were they TRYING to make me feel like crap?

The truth is—NO. I did that all by myself.

What I’ve learned is this: everyone was just trying to connect with me. Most people don’t understand what we do as actors. Many have never chased their dreams the way we do.

So now, when I get that question, I don’t take it personally. I use it as a chance to share where I’m at.

Here are three ways you can answer next time someone asks you:
1. “It’s going great, I just shot this new show…”

2. “Right now, it’s not going so great. The industry is in a weird place, but I’m keeping busy doing other things I love.”

3. “It’s a journey—right now I’m training, networking, and building for the next opportunity. Every step counts.”

So let me ask you—how do YOU feel when you get asked this question?
