HORSE BUGGIES and HOLLYWOOD

From basement shows in Amish Country to working with Emmy and Oscar winners.

This is our comically honest take on pivoting with purpose.

We’ll discuss building a career from scratch, saying “yes” before the world did, and growing a multimillion-dollar company with grit, heart, and a make-shift windshield wiper.

Perfect for anyone navigating reinvention or the messy middle of chasing something big.

FROM BARELY TO BETTER TO BOOMING

How two creatives grew a multimillion-dollar company without shortcuts or investors.

This isn’t a “how we hacked success” story—it’s how two actor-writer-producers turned limited resources into lasting growth.

No viral moments, no big breaks—just smart decisions, steady pivots, and a relentless belief in the long game.

FOR-PROFIT THINKING IN A NONPROFIT WORLD

Mission driven, business minded

We don’t run our nonprofit like it’s hanging by a thread and we don’t expect donors or foundations to keep the lights on.

We operate in the black, year after year!

In this session, we’ll unpack how treating your nonprofit like a business (because it is one!) can build sustainability, grow your impact, and give you the freedom to say “yes” to the right things and “no” to the rest.

“Our managers loved Jeff and Steve. So inspiring!”
