The “Brain-Pick” Strategy Session: Get Clear, Focused Guidance in Just One Hour

Sometimes you don’t need a full workshop or routine development session. You just need one focused, high-value hour with someone who’s been in the trenches for nearly 30 years.

That’s exactly what the “Brain-Pick” Strategy Session is for.

For $300, you get a private, one-hour deep dive where we tackle whatever is currently blocking your progress in the business of being a working variety artist.

What We Can Cover in Your Brain-Pick Session

This is a fast, practical strategy call designed to give you clarity and actionable next steps. Common topics include:

• Show development & act refinement

• Marketing and branding strategies that actually work for performers

• Navigating the cruise ship industry (contracts, agents, audition tips, what bookers really want)

• Building sustainable income streams in the variety arts

• Pricing your services, creating packages, and positioning yourself for higher-level gigs

• Transitioning from hobbyist to full-time professional

• Overcoming plateaus and figuring out your next growth move

Note: This session is strictly strategy and business-focused. It does not include technical instruction on sword swallowing or any high-risk skills.

Why This Session Works

I’ve been a full-time entertainer since the late 1990s — performing over 7,000 shows, working cruises, colleges, corporate events, fairs, and theaters across 50 states and 85+ countries. I’ve built my career from the ground up through trial and error, and I’ve helped many other performers do the same.

The “Brain-Pick” session lets you shortcut months (or years) of guessing by tapping directly into that hard-earned experience. You bring the questions. I bring the real-world answers and honest feedback.

Many artists walk away from just one hour saying things like “I finally know exactly what to do next” or “That one insight completely changed how I’m approaching my marketing.”

Who This Session Is For

This one-hour strategy session is perfect for:

• Performers who feel stuck and need clear direction

• Artists ready to take their career more seriously but aren’t sure what step to take first

• Variety entertainers interested in breaking into (or growing within) the cruise ship market

• Anyone who wants high-level advice without committing to a longer program

Investment: $300 for a single 1-hour session (available in-person at the St. Pete Micro Farm or over the phone/Zoom).
