You’ll recognize DaJuan Johnson from hits like Narcos, Grey’s Anatomy, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and SEVEN seasons of Bosch (just to name a few!), I couldn’t think of anyone better to have a conversation all about confidence and thinking bigger!  

DaJuan is a coach who helps actors  shift their mindset to find clarity, so they can push through uncertainty and take focused action to reach their dreams.

 

In today’s episode, Dajuan and I discuss what thinking bigger actually means and the actionable ways to develop a no-fail mindset. We discuss why it is crucial to step into this bigger mindset so you can show up and do your best work as an actor (or any type of creative!). 

 

DaJuan exposes the lie of the billing hierarchy and how it prevents us from feeling like we’re not enough as artists. He breaks down the tough, internal desperation actors have that keeps us small and stops us from our full artistic capabilities.

 

At times, a creative career can feel like you’re on the outside looking in with very little validation – enter DaJuan who provides tons of reassurance while he exposes the uncomfortable truth of how your mindset gets in your way (or makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE!). 

 

Despite DaJuan’s decorated credentials, he reminds all actors that he isn’t extraordinary. At the end of the day, the only thing he has that you might not have is just more tools in his toolbox. This episode is your chance to learn, grow, and gain the mindset and confidence you need to focus on what’s in your control and let go of the things that aren’t.
