If you want to make things that matter,
I want to help you.

Making a sustainable living as a creative is hard enough, but building a life that won’t burn you out? It feels impossible. Let me help you figure out where to focus your attention next.

Making a living as a “creative”
shouldn’t be this hard.

Work is either crushing your soul or your next paycheck is a mystery. 


You know you need to network,
but you’d rather die than “put yourself out there!”

You’re spinning too many plates, wearing too many hats,
and doomscrolling rather than focusing on what actually matters.

Been there. Done that.

Hi, I’m Zack! I’m an award-winning Hollywood filmmaker turned writer, podcaster, and career coach (many of my students call me their “career therapist”), and I’m no stranger to burnout, building a professional network from zero, or balancing the demands of work & life.

If you’re struggling to figure out where to go next, I’m here to help artists, creatives, and storytellers like you navigate this next uncertain phase of work and life on YOUR terms.

How Can I Help You?

The world we were trained to be useful in no longer exists.
“Soft” skills are the new hard skills. The human touch is what will set you apart in a digital world dominated by mediocre, disposable, AI-generated slop.

I can help you better develop the human skills (you were never taught in school) so you can successfully navigate the next act of work and life on your terms.
