You’ll Never Have to “Bother People” Ever Again
The quality of your life is dictated by the quality of your relationships. It really is that simple.
I promise networking doesn’t have to suck – especially if you’re highly creative and introverted like me. In fact, introverts have distinct advantages in the networking game, they just don’t know how to leverage these advantages in the digital age. Regardless of your temperament, networking can be enjoyable, rewarding, and most importantly – algorithm-free!
In this live, 90-minute masterclass you will learn:
- Why networking is absolutely essential to your creative survival
- Where your hatred of networking actually makes you AMAZING at networking
- Who specifically to target based on your goals (and where to connect with the right people so you can stop “spraying and praying” your way to the next job)
- How to approach your ideal connections—and what to ask them—so people are excited to connect with you (and eager to help!)
- When to use the robots—and when not to—so you outreach stands out from the AI slop

Who Is This Masterclass For?
Anyone who struggles with writing outreach that feels “slimy” or “bothers people”
Everything you’ve been taught about networking and outreach is bullshit. Trust me. There is a better way, and when you know what to say, how to say it, and when, an entirely new work of relationships will open up to you!
Anyone who HATES networking but knows it’s necessary to survive in this economy
You’ll learn how to reframe your mindset so networking is no longer a “necessary evil” but instead a regular activity you are excited about because of all the new people in your life eager to help you.
Anyone navigating a career pivot who is seeking guidance, expertise, and mentorship
We’re all navigating uncharted waters here. The game has changed, and so have the rules. If you want to do more than just tread water, it’s going to take a strong support network to help you go from here to → there.
Who Is This Masterclass NOT For?
Anyone looking for quick networking “growth hacks”
If you’re looking for automations to level up your LinkedIn DM’s or 10x your daily email output, this is not the masterclass for you. Look elsewhere for cheap hacks that don’t get results.
Anyone who wants to learn how to use AI to write your outreach for you
If you want to blend in with all the other AI slop cramming up important people’s inboxes, be my guest. In this Academy, the humans write the words, and the humans do the hard work necessary to create genuine connections.
Anyone who wants to learn how to use people to get what they want
I teach a service-based, value-first approach to networking and relationship building. If you’re not willing to give first and give often with no expectation of taking in return, this is not the masterclass for you. Nor am I the teacher.

About Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Zack.
If you want to make things that matter, I want to help you.
When people ask me “What do you do?” my answer is…“It’s complicated.”
I’m a former award-winning Hollywood film & television editor, producer, and documentary director turned writer, podcaster, and career coach who helps highly ambitious (and often neurodivergent) creatives like you build a career making cool things that you absolutely love…without burning out along the way (or selling your creative soul).
Making awesome work is only half the battle; the other half is making sure the right people know you’re awesome. No matter your goals in work or life, nothing worthwhile is easy. Achieving hard things will require guidance, support, mentorship, and a little luck along the way…not to mention a little help from your friends. And me, if you’re willing to come along for the ride.
If you feel like your creative career is on life support and you’re tired of networking strategies that no longer work—or if you’re so allergic to the idea of “networking” that you’ve given up completely—I’d like to help you build genuine relationships with your fellow humans.
