10 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. MT / Noon p.m. CT / 1 p.m. ET

Hosts: 

• SAG-AFTRA Executive Vice President Ben Whitehair
• SAG-AFTRA National Board Member Linda Powell

Special Guests:

• Actor/Producer/Activist Alysia Reiner
• Executive Life Coach Beth Handel

Invested thousands of hours and dollars into refining your craft but still waiting for the big break?

Alysia Reiner (OITNB, Better Things) has been there. The SAG Award winning actor, producer, and activist has spent years on an award-winning TV series and created films that sold to Sundance, but it wasn’t always that way, and it’s not always easy -- even (especially) now!

Join Alysia and life coach, Beth Handel, to learn how to disrupt and create in an increasingly fragmented industry, the power of manifesting in business, and how to stay happy and proud of yourself as you build your own empire.

In this interactive and radically honest event, Beth and Alysia will coach you on how to: 

• Identify self-sabotaging inner dialogue
• Bust your favorite excuses and limiting beliefs
• Create an action plan that is a match with your dream
• Articulate your inspired arts business dream
