We turn dreamers into doers — giving creatives the game, the grind, and the guidance to build real careers in the entertainment industry and win beyond the spotlight.

The Artist Should Know (ASK) Program's Mission is to school the next wave of creatives in every lane of entertainment — from the mic to the mixing board, the set to the strategy table — blending skill, hustle, and hands-on experience so they can create, innovate, and cash in on their craft.

This program is built to dispel the myth that success in the entertainment industry is purely a matter of luck.

ASK provides a structured, hands-on, Career Technical Education (CTE) program that blends creativity with technical skills, mentoring, and real-world project experience.

As a result, participants learn the actionable steps necessary to build sustainable careers beyond a “celebrity spotlight” pursuit and are empowered to thrive in diverse entertainment roles while strengthening local communities.

ASK flips the script....

...taking raw talent and untapped hustle and turning it into skill, strategy, and real receipts.

This ain’t just talk — participants walk out with credits on the board, a game plan in hand, and the confidence to run their own lane.

For Creatives

Clarity on the industry, connections that matter, and the tools to turn passion into a paycheck.

For Schools & Orgs

A flagship program that puts you on the map for launching real careers, not just passing out diplomas or memberships.

For Communities: Pride, opportunity, and proof that success can be built right here — no big city move required.

For Investors & Sponsors

A front-row seat to measurable change, brand shine, and being the reason the next wave of legends get their start.

Bottom Line...

ASK doesn’t just teach the game — it hands you the keys, the playbook, and the connects to win.

A Solution for Arts Education

With the decline of arts programs in schools, ASK offers a comprehensive curriculum that fills the gap, providing critical training in problem-solving, communication, cognitive reasoning, and creative development.

Equipping the Next Generation: In today’s digital landscape, where social media, content creation, and branding skills are essential for success, ASK prepares participants to become effective entrepreneurs and innovators.

Local Impact, National Reach: ASK demonstrates that successful entertainment careers can be built without relocating to major hubs like Los Angeles or New York. By spotlighting local opportunities, the program also supports community engagement and economic growth.
