I’m just so appreciative, and it’s wonderful.
He’s just been a great person, guiding me through my journey.
If you want to get started in the industry, this is so perfect.
I used to sit back and wait for people to hire me. Now I’m making my own films.
I really feel like I have Paul to thank for getting my foot in the door.
I felt empowered. I felt equipped. He gave really practical next steps.
He taught me how to be the best version of myself.
Every artist’s journey is different, but this gives you a clear picture of how the mentorship works.
A 10-Month Journey
Each mentee receives assignments designed to move them forward. Sometimes weekly. Sometimes every two weeks. It depends on the artist, their age, their goals, and what they need most.
Mentees receive lifetime membership to Paul’s private community, We Got This.
Sometimes opportunities come up.
These are not guaranteed. They depend on the project, timing, permissions, and whether Paul believes the opportunity is right for you.
One major goal is getting the artist truly ready for representation.
Referrals are not automatic. They are earned.
No honest mentor can promise bookings, agents, or jobs. But this program is built to give you the clarity, positioning, and industry readiness most performers never get.
Takes 2 to 3 minutes. Not everyone is accepted.
There are plenty of mentorship programs.
Explore them. Find the mentor who feels right for you.
This one is different for one simple reason
You’re learning directly from someone who is actively creating, directing, producing, and navigating this industry every day.
This isn’t about shortcuts.
It isn’t about guarantees.
It isn’t about someone building your career for you.
It’s about having an experienced mentor in your corner who can help you avoid costly mistakes, think strategically, recognize opportunities, and build a career with intention.
My role isn’t to be your manager or your agent. My role is to challenge you, guide you, and help you become the kind of artist who creates opportunities for themselves.
The work is still yours.
The growth is still yours.
I’ll simply help you build it smarter.
Application required. Acceptance is selective.
This program is for serious performers. Dancers, actors, singers, and beyond. Ages 5 through adult.
The foundation is built around dancers. That is Paul’s background and the industry he knows deeply. But most dancers who come to him do not just want to compete. They want to be in movies. They want to act. They want to sing. They want real careers inside the entertainment industry.
This is not for casual hobbyists. It is for performers who are ready to take themselves seriously and be coached at a higher level.
That is actually when this matters most. You do not need to rush into the industry. You need to understand it.
This mentorship builds awareness early. You learn how the system works before you are thrown into it. You gain clarity, confidence, and direction so that when opportunity shows up, you are not scrambling.
Preparation is not pressure. It is positioning.
Those performers have gone on to win and be nominated for Emmy Awards. Some have received Leo Awards for Outstanding Performer. Others have earned Emmy nominations for Outstanding Choreography. Some have received Grammy nominations.
They have booked major films including Descendants, Wreck It Ralph, A Week Away, and many others. They have worked on national commercials, performed with some of the biggest artists in the world, and built sustainable careers across multiple lanes of entertainment.
The common factor was not luck. It was clarity, positioning, versatility, and the willingness to think bigger than just training.
There is free information everywhere. But information is not the same as strategy. And proximity is power.
Being mentored by someone operating at this level is not just about tips. It is about access. It is about perspective. It is about building a relationship.
Free information can inspire you. Strategic mentorship positions you. There is a difference.
This is not a training program. You already have teachers for technique. Acting classes. Vocal coaches. Studios.
This mentorship focuses on the architecture of your career. We break down traditional pathways, agents, casting, representation, and industry systems. But we also explore non traditional routes. Building your own platform. Creating leverage. Developing versatility.
This program teaches you how to build a sustainable career, not just chase auditions.
Yes. It prepares you for them. You will understand what agencies truly look for and how to position yourself professionally.
But more importantly, you will realize something powerful. You have more leverage than you think. An agent works for you. Not the other way around.
An agent can amplify you. But you are the engine.
No one can guarantee that. What this can guarantee is clarity. Strategy. Honest feedback. And a framework that gives you direction instead of confusion.
This is not a passive program. It requires follow through. The people who win here are the ones who apply what they learn. The results follow the positioning.
Training is essential. Keep training. But training alone does not teach you how to build a career.
Most performers spend years developing talent without understanding how to monetize it. This mentorship ensures your training has direction. It connects the dots between skill and sustainability.
It is not about spending more. It is about being intentional.
Momentum matters. The longer you wait to understand the business side of entertainment, the longer you operate without leverage.
Every season you delay is another season someone else is learning how to position themselves. You do not need to rush. But you do need to decide when you are ready to take ownership.
Performers are busy. That is part of the life. This mentorship runs on a monthly schedule. Each month a new module unlocks with assignments and a Zoom session. The expectation is 2 to 3 hours per week.
The program runs for its fixed 10 month term. It is not extended to make up for sessions you do not book or attend, though the term may be extended where Paul reschedules a session or where an extension is agreed in writing. If you commit, you prioritize it. Growth requires intention.
No. No legitimate mentor can guarantee that you or your child will book a professional job, sign with an agent, or land a specific opportunity. There are simply too many factors involved in casting.
What Paul can do is help identify what may be holding you back, strengthen the areas that need work, help you understand how the professional industry actually operates, and create a strategy for putting yourself in a better position for opportunities.
The goal isn’t to promise you a job. It’s to help you become someone who knows how to pursue, recognize, and be ready for opportunities when they come.
No. If your primary reason for applying is to gain access to Paul’s contacts or a particular company, production, casting director, or job, this mentorship probably isn’t the right fit.
Paul absolutely brings decades of real-world industry experience and relationships to the mentorship, and when appropriate, he may offer guidance, introductions, recommendations, or opportunities. But none of those things are guaranteed.
The real value is learning how to build a career that doesn’t depend on knowing one person.
You’re paying for 10 months of direct, personalized mentorship with Paul, not simply dance classes or occasional advice.
Paul works with each mentee based on where they are and where they want to go. That can include career strategy, training direction, professional materials, branding, auditions, representation, industry education, identifying opportunities, and helping you determine what your next moves should actually be.
Because every mentee is different, the mentorship isn’t a cookie-cutter course. Paul intentionally limits each cycle to only four to five mentees so he can stay personally involved throughout the process.
Yes, but at a young age the mentorship is as much about guiding the parent as it is mentoring the dancer.
A seven, eight, or nine-year-old obviously isn’t expected to manage their own career. Paul can help parents understand training, representation, auditions, professional materials, opportunities, and which moves make sense now versus which ones can wait.
The goal isn’t to rush a young performer into the professional world. It’s to help the family navigate it intelligently while allowing the child to continue developing and actually enjoy being a kid.
Competition success can be an incredible foundation, but the professional entertainment industry is a very different ecosystem.
Winning titles, placing nationally, and being recognized by judges can demonstrate talent, discipline, and performance ability, but professional careers involve additional skills: auditioning, working on camera, understanding casting, representation, professional etiquette, branding, materials, versatility, and knowing how to navigate the business.
Paul’s mentorship is designed to help bridge that gap between being a successful dancer and building a professional career.
No. While dance may be where many mentees begin, Paul’s mentorship is about building a career in the entertainment industry, and that can take many different forms.
You may ultimately want to perform, choreograph, direct, act, create content, develop your own projects, build a brand, or combine several of those things.
Paul’s own career has crossed choreography, directing, producing, film, television, stage, movement, and creative development. Part of the mentorship can be helping you discover where your strengths and interests intersect and how to turn those into an actual career path.
That’s completely okay. In fact, figuring that out can be one of the most valuable parts of the mentorship.
You don’t need to arrive with your entire career mapped out. You should have ambition, curiosity, and a willingness to work, but part of Paul’s job as a mentor is helping you identify where your strengths are, what genuinely excites you, and which opportunities are worth pursuing versus which ones may simply be distractions.
The goal is that by the end of the mentorship, you aren’t just doing more. You’re making smarter and more intentional decisions about where you’re going.
Yes. How you present yourself matters.
Depending on what you need, Paul can work with you on areas such as your résumé, headshots, bio, portfolio, reels, social media presence, positioning, and the overall story you’re telling the industry about who you are.
The goal isn’t to manufacture an image or turn you into somebody you’re not. It’s actually the opposite: helping the industry clearly understand what makes you interesting, marketable, and different.
Absolutely. That’s part of what you’re paying for.
Paul isn’t there simply to tell you that everything you’re doing is great. He’ll tell you what he believes is working, what isn’t, where you may be wasting time or money, what needs development, and where he believes there may be an opportunity you’re overlooking.
You don’t have to agree with every piece of advice, and ultimately your career belongs to you. Paul’s role is to give you an experienced industry perspective so you can make better-informed decisions.
Both.
A sustainable career isn’t just about knowing the right people or having good materials. You also need something worth paying attention to.
Depending on the mentee, Paul may work with you on performance, storytelling, on-camera presence, creative identity, originality, choreography, concepts, and understanding what makes your work connect with an audience.
The mentorship is about developing the artist and the career around the artist, not simply checking off a list of business tasks.
That’s actually very common, and it can be a strength when it’s approached strategically.
Paul’s mentorship isn’t designed to force you into one box. Part of the process can be figuring out how your different skills fit together, which areas deserve the most attention right now, and how to build a career where those skills complement each other rather than compete for your time.
Paul has worked across dance, choreography, directing, film, television, music, and live entertainment, so he understands that a modern entertainment career doesn’t always follow one straight line.
Great. This mentorship isn’t only for beginners.
Some mentees may be trying to get their first professional opportunity, while others may already have credits, representation, professional training, or an established body of work and are trying to figure out how to get to the next level.
Paul meets you where you are. If you’ve already built a strong foundation, the mentorship can focus less on the basics and more on strategy, positioning, relationships, materials, opportunities, representation, and determining what moves your career forward from here.
No. Paul is your mentor, not your agent, manager, or personal promoter.
His job is to help you understand the industry, identify what may be missing, strengthen your materials and positioning, develop a strategy, and help you become better prepared to pursue professional opportunities.
There may be times when Paul believes an introduction, recommendation, audition, or opportunity makes sense, but that is entirely at his discretion and is never something you’re purchasing as part of the mentorship.
The goal is not to make your career dependent on Paul opening doors for you. It’s to teach you how to find and walk through doors throughout your entire career.
No. Paul mentors both young emerging performers and adults who are already working professionally.
For younger dancers, the mentorship may involve significant guidance for the parent and building the foundations of a professional career. For an experienced adult performer, the work may be completely different: positioning, artistic identity, representation, career strategy, expanding into new markets, identifying what’s holding you back, and figuring out how to get to the next level.
Your mentorship is built around where you are now, not your age.
Yes. In fact, this can be one of the most important parts of the mentorship.
Being technically strong isn’t always enough. At a certain level, almost everyone in the room can dance. The question becomes: Why you?
Paul can help you identify your strengths, understand how you’re perceived, develop your artistic identity, and figure out what makes you memorable without trying to manufacture something that isn’t authentically you.
The goal isn’t to make you different for the sake of being different. It’s to uncover what’s already uniquely yours and learn how to use it.
Yes. If relocating is part of your career plan, that can absolutely become part of the mentorship.
Different markets have different opportunities, expectations, communities, agencies, and realities. Paul can help you think through timing, preparation, representation, networking, training, materials, and what you should have in place before making a move.
The goal isn’t simply to tell you, “Move to Los Angeles” or “Move to Vancouver.” It’s to make sure that if you do move, there’s an actual strategy behind it.
That’s completely fine. You don’t need to be starting from zero for Paul’s mentorship to be valuable.
If you’ve spent years training, attending intensives, completing programs, or even working professionally but still feel like you’re missing direction, the problem may no longer be a lack of training.
At that point, you may need someone to look at the entire picture with you: your strengths, weaknesses, identity, materials, relationships, market, representation, and goals, and help determine what actually needs to happen next.
Sometimes the next level doesn’t require more training. It requires a better strategy.
Yes. The Blueprint Mentorship is a significant investment because of the amount of direct, personal access involved, but payment options are available. Blueprint is a fixed 10 month commitment to a total program fee, and a payment plan is a way of paying that total. It is not a cancellable month to month subscription, and it does not automatically renew. The full terms are in our Terms and Conditions, Payment, Cancellation and Refund Policy.
If you’re accepted into the program, you’ll be able to review the available payment options before making your final decision.
Please don’t put yourself or your family into financial hardship to participate. The mentorship should make sense for both your career and your circumstances.
Yes. Paul understands that young performers have school, training, competitions, family commitments, and lives outside of the entertainment industry.
The mentorship is designed to build a career strategically over 10 months, not consume your child’s life.
Paul can help families determine what deserves attention now, what can wait, and how to pursue professional goals without feeling like you have to say yes to everything.
The Blueprint is by application only.
