Think Big Start Small Move Fast

We'll start with the big picture and clarify what you really want for your career and your life.

For real... If you could accomplish anything, what would you go for? From there, we'll map out a step-by-step strategy based on your unique strengths and interests to help you move quickly toward your goals. You'll leave our session feeling inspired because you'll have a working plan in place that makes sense, feels good, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. This is not a fill-in-the-blanks formula any ol' creative could try. This is pure strategy; custom-built to meet you where you're at and take you where you ultimately want to go.

Leverage Unique Expertise

As a successful working actor and life and career coach I don't subscribe to a lot of the limited thinking out there.

Instead, I'm an entrepreneur who has helped hundreds of creatives build an online reputation, increase their impact and income, grow their confidence and self-awareness, and create a lifestyle that supports their dreams today. I bring a unique perspective to the business built on years of creative success, balancing a family-life, and proven life-coaching. We'll harness my experience, insight and intuition to fast-track your progress and avoid so many of the pitfalls most creatives fall into.

Hey There! I’m Bret Shuford, the creator of Business of Broadway.

 

I know how disappointing it can be to hustle hard and feel like you are getting no where. I spent years trying everything before I booked my first Broadway show. Several Broadway shows, feature films, television, and commercials later, I’ve learned what it takes to be a versatile actor in this business.

As the Broadway Life Coach I’ve helped TONY Nominees, Series Regulars, Producers, Casting Directors, and more find fulfillment and confidence in a turbulent business.

If you're an actor who wants a successful career but you still feel like there’s something they know that you don’t, than you’ll want to sign up for this class today.

I WANT THIS FOR LIFE!

THE ENTIRE BUSINESS OF BROADWAY COURSE

 

There’s been nothing like this program, made for artists like you and me. These 5 weeks of training will give you the inside scoop on how this business of Broadway really works - all the stuff you wished they'd taught you in graduate school from someone whose been in your shoes (that's me!). ;-)

 

I had to go through a lot of trial and error before I booked my first 5 Broadway shows... 

 

If you're like I was, you're already:

  • Taking all the casting director workshops...

You’re exhausted, and not sure why it’s not producing results...

 

I get it; I know how disappointing it can be to hustle hard and feel like you are getting no where.

 

That's why I created this course, to help other actors learn from my experience and book it on Broadway.
