#192 The Training I Rewatch Every Year (and Why You’ll Regret Missing It)
Saison 5 · Épisode 192
mardi 27 mai 2025 • Durée 01:00:46
🎧 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

What happens when you stop shrinking yourself to fit the mold—and start auditioning like you?
In this powerful and inspiring episode, I sit down with Hools Kay Wyder, a proudly queer, asexual, non-binary, and neurodivergent actor, coach, and creative force. From their early days in musical theatre to carving out space in the world of film, Hools shares what it really takes to stand out in the audition room—without compromising who they are.
If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite “fit” in this industry, this episode is your permission slip to stop apologizing and start showing up as your full, bold self.
🎬 What You’ll Learn: Why individuality is your greatest asset in the room
How to prepare like a pro—without overthinking it
The truth about casting directors (hint: they’re rooting for you)
What it takes to transition from stage to screen successfully
How coaching others can unlock your own growth as an actor

#190 The Audition I Bombed… and Why It Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened with Sahil Zirvi
Saison 5 · Épisode 190
mardi 13 mai 2025 • Durée 47:29
What happens when you show up to your first big audition... and completely bomb?
In this episode, I'm joined by actor, model, and new Actors Audition Club coach Sahil Zirvi, who shares the painful (and powerful) story of the audition that could have broken him... and why it turned out to be the wake-up call that changed everything.
We talk about:
The one mistake that ruined Sahil's shot at a major role — and why he never made it again
The harsh reality of being judged by casting in your first 30 seconds (or less)
What makes a "professional" audition — and why most actors still don’t rehearse enough
Why it's not about memorizing lines (and what to do instead)
How coaching others actually helped Sahil level up his own acting process
The mindset shift that turns rejection into a badge of honour (instead of a reason to quit)
Plus, we go behind-the-scenes of what it’s really like to:
Book an international commercial that flies you business class to Europe
Get invited to join Actors Audition Club as a coach
Be in the room with casting and see an actor lose a role over one single word
You’ll walk away from this one with a renewed commitment to preparation, a few laughs, and a massive boost of inspiration to show up like a pro every single time.
