THE WORKING CREATIVES
INTENSIVE
Make Art. Make Money. Stay in the Game.
For mid-career creatives ready to build a career that doesn’t collapse.
THIS IS FOR CREATIVES WHO REFUSE TO FADE OUT
You built a body of work. You put in the time. Then the industry shifted. The calls slowed. The momentum changed.
​
Maybe you had to take a "real job" to stay afloat. Perhaps you wanted a family. Your partner may be tired of bearing the financial burden.
Maybe you wanted something stable. A home. A life.
​
But now? You still need to create. It’s not a choice, it’s who you are.
Here’s the truth: If you don’t make money, you don’t make art.
I’ve lived it. I’ve survived it. I’ve built through it. And I can show you how.
THE "MIDDLE ROAD"—WHERE ARTISTS SURVIVE AND THRIVE
The industry makes it seem like there are only two options:
1. Make it big and become famous.
2. Struggle, burn out, and quit.
​
I reject that.
​
For years, I’ve made money using my creativity. I’m not famous. I’m working. I’ve created paid opportunities for actors, writers, and creatives, sustainable work that pays.
The Working Creative Intensive is about finding your middle road, a way to keep making your art without waiting for permission to stay in the game!
WHAT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT
This is not about fame.
It’s not about chasing gatekeepers.
It’s not about viral moments.
​
It’s about creative durability.
It’s about building a financial and psychological floor so your art survives.
​
If you don’t build the floor, you fall through it.

FAQ
Q: Is this only for actors?
A: No. This is for any mid-career creative: actors, writers, directors, musicians, designers, dancers, visual artists, and more. If you think what you do is an art form, then this is for you!
​
Q: Do I need to be “famous” to qualify?
A: No. You just need a real body of work and real, authentic experience. If you’ve done the work, this is for you.
​
Q: I’m just starting. Can I join anyway?
A: No. This is not for beginners. You’ll be lost, and it won’t serve you or the group. You focus on going out there and making your art!
​
Q: What if I’m unable to attend one of the sessions?
A: You’ll get a private link to the replay. It’s yours forever.
​
Q: What’s the time commitment?
A: Seven live sessions, each 2 hours long, over 2.5 months. That’s 14 hours of live coaching, plus whatever time you invest in your growth, and you will be putting in time, I promise.
​
Q: How many people are in each group?
A: A maximum of 10. Intimate, curated, and high-impact.
​
Q: Can I pay in installments?
A: Yes. Payment plans are available. If you’re accepted, we’ll discuss the details during the call.
​
Q: Is this a course or a coaching program?
A: It’s a coaching program. Live. Interactive. Practical. This is not a pre-recorded course.
​
Q: What happens after I submit my application?
A: If I decide that you and I are a good match, we set up a 30-minute call. I will ask you a series of in-depth questions; you can ask me anything you like, as well. This is a two-way street. We will then both take 24 hours to consider, and only then, if we both feel it’s a fit for both of us, will you receive a formal invitation. No one just “buys in.”
​
Q: Is there homework?
A: Yes! Every session will include actionable steps for applying the concepts covered and building momentum. This isn’t passive learning.
​
Q: What if I’m burned out and unsure what to do next?
A: Yes. This program is designed for creatives who need renewed direction and strategic clarity.
​
Q: Will this help me get an agent or more gigs?
A: This is not about chasing gatekeepers. It’s about building income and opportunity through your own initiative. If agents or collaborators come later, great. But you won’t be dependent on them.
​
Q: What if I have a crazy schedule—how will I know if I can make the sessions?
A: Sessions are fixed. If you value your work, you make time for it.
​
Q: Do I need a website or social media presence?
A: Not required, but we may work on those things if they’re key to monetizing your work.
​
Q: Is this tax-deductible?
A: Most likely yes, as professional development or education—check with your accountant.
​
Q: Can I join from outside the U.S.?
A: Yes! All sessions are online. Time zones may vary, but I have worked with many international creatives for over two decades.
