Meet Your Host, DaJuan Johnson

Founder of
Think Bigger Coaching

Look. I’m going to keep it 100 with you because there is A LOT of talk out in these internet streets about Scams! And Red Flags! 

I am a consistently working actor, certified life coach, and the Founder of Think Bigger Coaching where I Help Actors Book off Self-Tapes and get to their dreams faster by developing a Booker’s Mindset. I am also the creator of my Signature Program SELF TAPES THAT BOOK.

I love everything Mindset and Helping You Get To Your Next Level. 

What I needed most when I was coming up in this industry was community and guidance. Full Stop. I desperately wanted someone who was working to just sit with me…and help guide me. I never got that. I want to be that for YOU. 

This event. This space. These 3 days. It’s for the young me that didn’t have any of the answers and never got the help. 

I have been all over the U.S. speaking in person at events empowering actors: Atlanta, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arizona and more. It’s time to bring that same energy to Los Angeles. 

I understand the challenges you face, especially now. I’ve been through hundreds of auditions and heard my fair share of “No”s. But I’ve also learned what it takes to succeed.  This Think Bigger Actors Retreat is built on my experience to help you achieve the traction and results you deserve.

Let’s Get Back In The Room and Make Some Magic Happen!
