#192 The Training I Rewatch Every Year (and Why You’ll Regret Missing It)

Inside The Audition

🎧 A Special Crossover Episode with the Mind Your Business Podcast

This is the episode I’ve been dreaming of.

I finally got to share my full story on James Wedmore’s Mind Your Business Podcast — and now I’m bringing that conversation straight to you.

If you’re an actor, comedian, or creator juggling auditions, day jobs, and side hustles... wondering how the hell to build something sustainable — this is your wake-up call.

I walk you through how I went from an actor with a duct-taped, do-it-all-myself coaching business to building two digital memberships that now bring in over $93K/year — all while staying in the industry, booking roles, and even traveling the world.

It started with one decision: enrolling in Business by Design after attending The Rise of the Digital CEO training. And in this episode, I unpack every lesson I learned from it.

🔑 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The one belief shift that helped me escape the starving artist trap

How I built Actors Audition Club and Monologue of the Month Club into recurring income streams

Why this free training from James Wedmore is more valuable than courses I paid $5K for

What happened when I finally raised my prices and stopped doing it all myself

The wild story of hiring 7 coaches in a week — and what came next

How to launch your first offer (even if you don’t have it built yet)

Why I believe every actor, artist, or coach needs to own their own audience

BONUS: My private Q&A with James on burnout, creativity, and building a business that supports your art

🧠 This Is for You If… You’re tired of chasing gigs with nothing to show for it

You want your creativity to fund your life, not just your resume

You’ve thought about creating a course, workshop, or membership — but don’t know where to start

You’re done feeling burnt out and underpaid for your talent

You want your business to feel like you (not a corporate machine)

🪄 Teasers That’ll Keep You Listening: The $25K investment I never thought I’d make — and why it unlocked everything

What really changed when I joined Business by Design

How I got 250 new clients from a single voicemail

The launch strategy I ditched — and what I use now instead

What I tell every actor who’s afraid to “sell” online

💥 Don’t Miss This: The Rise of the Digital CEO — the free 3-part training that started everything for me — is happening NOW.

🧠 It only opens once a year. You don’t want to wait another 12 months.
