Celebrity and Public Figure Coaching with Kaia

Kaia gave me invaluable insider knowledge on how the industry works, as well as how to use this knowledge to put myself in a position to succeed. Her advice on pitching and developing my brand as a writer helped me with making some key decisions about my writing portfolio and how I market myself. She also helped me develop my networking skills, an area I always struggled in. Because of Kaia, I was able to grow my social media presence and make connections with people I previously would’ve been too afraid to reach out to. Finally, she gave me actionable feedback on my pilot and taught me to look at my writing from a development executive’s perspective. Kaia is truly a “renaissance teacher” in that her knowledge spans many aspects of the entertainment industry, and she’s equally passionate about all of these topics.

Kaia changed the trajectory of my career and my life as a mentor, teacher, and friend. Before EBS, taking my screenwriting to the next level and understanding the business of Hollywood was a black box. But Kaia was able to quickly assess and help me shape my brand. Since her class, I’ve been featured on The Stunt List and made the AFF 2023 finals. Most of all, I’ve met lifelong friends and built a Wolf Pack of fellow creatives. Now I’m warping closer to my ambition of staffing on STAR TREK.

Kaia is a compassionate teacher that goes above and beyond to answer her student’s questions. So, I’ve learned a lot of valuable information like pitching, networking and negotiating from the weekly live class and coaching sessions.

Kaia Alexander and EBS entered my life at a time when I knew next to nothing about the entertainment industry. Now I can confidently and competently enter into any room and sell myself, and my brand, negotiate a fair deal, and maintain great relationships. I’m more than fully equipped to take this industry by storm and it’s all thanks to Kaia. She is the Obi-Wan to my Luke Skywalker. What’s better, she’ll be here at every step I take. Entertainment Business Mastery or School are among the best courses out there. 10/10 Highly recommend!

I’ve invested a lot of time and money into growing my career and by far, the Entertainment Business School has been the most beneficial. Kaia’s course goes beyond ‘teaching’ – it’s transformative. For anyone looking to demystify this business, then this is the program for you. And for those creatives who break out in hives at the mere thought of contracts, negotiating, financing, you name it, this program is essential. It gives you the language, the tools and most importantly, the power to take control of your career.

I loved the Entertainment Business School. Kaia’s teachings are invaluable – I learned so much about the importance of branding, pitching, positioning and how to put it into action. I really appreciated how invested she was in the class- from curating an amazing group of special guests, to supporting everyone in the program with care. I am happy to have added Kaia and my classmates to my wolfpack and excited that we can all help elevate one another.

The Entertainment Business School helps make sense of a notoriously opaque industry. As an instructor, Kaia is knowledgeable, accessible and genuinely cares about helping her students succeed. She counters the scarcity mindset by empowering us with insights—both about ourselves and this wild work. Over the course of this class, you will have many opportunities to gain tools specific to where you’re at in your career, and to connect authentically with classmates (all talented creatives!) This class was full of clear and relevant information. I’m grateful for all I’ve gained here and will miss our weekly discussions.

In addition to all the essential business information she shares, Kaia drops these little wisdom nuggets. Lean into the wave to get your balance. Don’t take advice from someone who doesn’t have the results you want. Charming and honest are different lanes. There are no negative feelings, only unmet needs. Be curious before you’re furious. You don’t have a relationship with someone until you’ve laughed together. I have valued my time in Kaia’s course and recommend it without hesitation.

I learned so much during my time in EBS (deals, contracts, pitching, branding), and I cherish my friendships with my fellow #wolfpack members. I found a group of truly creative and supportive people who inspire me and encourage me to keep moving forward — something I really needed. If you are thinking of joining, I highly recommend you do so. You will learn so much about the business while networking with others in the industry and hear advice from pros working in it daily.

I looked forward to Kaia’s class each week and she delivered on every promise. A few wins: After her session on Negotiations, I negotiated and doubled (!) a commercial contract with confidence and ease. And, as a result of her Branding session, I’d updated my online presence (Website, IMDb, LinkedIn and IG), which happened to be just in time for Disney execs to review them… which didn’t hurt, as I soon became a Disney Writers Program Finalist! I‘d started the class a bit discouraged from recent industry experiences but I left the program with a renewed sense of fire (ie vigor, vision + determination). Highly recommend 🙂

EBS provides the facts, support and direction you need to help level up your career in a murky and shifting entertainment industry. These questions have plagued me for years: How the hell do I make it as a writer/director, what do I need to do, how do I get to LA, what project should I work on next, why am I not moving up, what secrets do I not know? What I’ve since learnt is that you need to know about strategy, branding, pitching, networking, how the industry works behind those closed doors, and you need to prepare for success and longevity. Kaia offers a deep dive into all of this, from her perspective as a previous Hollywood exec (and a writer), with lots of Q&A, in depth time and access to a community and network that I feel has vastly improved my trajectory. She gives you the no-BS straight facts, which is what I wanted, but also genuinely cares about you and your work. I’d suggest that everyone who needs to level up to join.
