Mastermind Weekend
August 15-16 • Virtual • By Invitation Only
Limited guest spots. Grab yours before they’re gone.
The Career ACTivate Mastermind Weekend is normally closed only to members. We’re opening a small number of spots to our list for August 15th-16th.
give us 1 weekend and we will help you grow in your acting career.
Most actors make career decisions in isolation.
They go it alone, second-guessing every move or they ask the same circle of friends they’ve been getting advice from for years. Which wouldn’t be a problem, except most of those friends aren’t much further along.
That’s how plateaus happen. That’s how years get wasted.
The Career ACTivate Mastermind Weekend is where that changes.
You’ll bring your #1 career challenge into a circle of 4–6 other actors who understand the business, not just the craft. They’ll offer connections, strategies, and real-world experience from their own careers.
And when that isn’t enough, our team of Elite Coaches provides on-the-spot coaching so you leave knowing exactly what your next move is.
On average, our clients estimate they save 2 years and $3,500+ from attending just one mastermind.
Typically this event is only for Elite clients. For this August 15th weekend, we’re opening 5 guest spots to our list.
List rate: $197. Full price: $997. When the guest spots are filled, registration closes.
Here’s what’s inside the weekend…

What’s it actually like to be in the room?
“I’ve been in L.A. for 10 years. I’ve done probably around 40 film and TV projects in principal roles… You would imagine that the person that so many people are coming to for advice wouldn’t have an ability to learn anymore, and I learned something every minute that I was in this. Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything I could do for my career that would be more valuable.”
