You're not starting from scratch. You're starting from isolated. You have the skills and the passion - you just haven't built the bridge yet. There's a difference, and it changes everything about how you build your way in.


You don’t need another dream. You need a real, strategic step toward the one you’ve already got.

Join the 5-Day Escape Route Challenge from September 8th-12th and build your first bridge project—something that earns, connects, and moves you forward.

Over 650 creatives built their blueprints last time. Now, it's your turn.

We’re offering two live session times each day of the challenge to accommodate different time zones—
but you only need to attend one.

➡️ Please choose just one session time when registering.
(They’ll cover the same content—no need to attend both!)

Got something you care about so deeply, it’s basically part of your DNA? Yeah - don’t ignore that

Fourteen years ago, I realized there was a huge gap between where I wanted to be – a working actor – and where I actually was.

So I took stock and started building my bridge. Just one thing at a time. What I needed, what I was excited about. And, piece by piece, I got closer to that goal.

Flash forward to today, and I’ve worked with studios like Netflix, Hallmark, and A24.
More importantly, I built a career that supports my life and keeps my creativity at the center.

Inside the Escape Route Challenge, I’ll show you how I did it, and how other creatives (not just actors) are doing it too.

You’ll walk away with one idea you can actually run with. Something that gets your creative work into the world, with support behind it and money coming in.

You already know who you are. The question is: when will you actually start living as that person?

Maybe you're a brilliant project manager who secretly wants to be a potter. A kickass lawyer who spends every weekend woodworking. An actor who's great at their marketing job, but knows it's not their true calling.

Look, you're not confused about what you want. You're just tired of spinning your wheels on it.

The Curator Method helps you turn something you care about into something real—something that builds your skills, grows your reach, and pays you back.

Here's what actually happens:

• You make real progress on the work you actually care about
• You meet people who help you grow—and who see what you're really about
• You build something that feels like yours and earns like it, too
• You stop wondering "what if" and start knowing "what's next"
• You put what you're good at to work—in a way that actually leads somewhere

You're not afraid of risk—you just want it to count. This isn't about betting the farm. It's about using what you already have to build something that actually moves you forward.

You start where you are. You use what you love to build your bridge. And you gradually transition into the work you were meant to do – until that becomes your real life.

The 5 Days That Turn “I’d Love to Learn That” Into “I Know What to Do Next."

Apparently asking people to show up at 3 AM was… unpopular.
Fair. Lesson learned.

This time, every session runs live, twice a day. So whether you’re an early bird, a night owl, or somewhere in between—you’ve got options.

Session A: 9:00 AM CET (Europe early birds / Asia–Australia afternoon)
Session B: 9:00 PM CET (Europe night owls / morning in the Americas)

Don’t be greedy—just pick one.

You’ll leave with more than ideas.
You’ll have one real thing you’re actually ready to try—and a way to make it happen. 

You’ll Leave This Challenge With:

⚪️ A Real Starting Point
Not just “inspiration.” You’ll walk away with one specific project idea designed around your real interests, your real gaps, and your real life so that you can move toward your real goals.

⚪️ A Way to Get Paid for What You Love
You’ll see how to use what you already know and love to design something that earns income - so your creative work finally supports you, not just drains you.

⚪️ Connections That Actually Matter
You’ll start meeting people who care about what you care about – so you can build something real, not just echo into the void.

⚪️ A Repeatable Approach You Can Build On
You’ll see how one curated experience can lead to new skills, better access, and bigger opportunities - so you’re not stuck reinventing the wheel every time.

⚪️ Proof You’re Ready (Because You’ll Be Doing It)
You won’t just talk about your big idea - you’ll start it. So you walk away knowing this isn’t a dream. It’s a direction.

You’ve Already Done the Work. Now Let’s Make It Count.

How much time, energy, and training have you already poured into your creative life?
That makes it more than a passion—it’s an asset. One that’s just waiting to be used in a way that fits you.

So what’s this challenge really about?
It’s about using the Curator Method to turn all that expertise and experience into something real—something that grows your skills, earns income, and reconnects you with the work you care about most.

You don’t need to teach. You don’t need to brand yourself.
You just need a vehicle that lets your experience speak for itself—and a plan to use it.

That’s what we’ll build.

Save My Seat

Here’s Our 5-Day Journey Together:

Each day, you’ll join me live on Zoom (about 60-90 minutes) for training that’s designed to move you from stuck to building—fast.

  • You’ll get daily action worksheets to help you plan and test your first real step.
  • We’ll do interactive "hot saddle" exercises to show you how to apply what you’re learning in real time.
DAY 1: Your macro and micro gaps identified - so you'll finally know what you're actually building toward and what's really been stopping you.
DAY 2: The hidden dimensions within your interests uncovered - so you can see all the different directions your curiosity could take you.
DAY 3: Your entire first year mapped using the Virtuous Cycle - so you can plan each milestone on your way to your final destination.
DAY 4: Your Experience Blueprint completed using the 4 P's framework - so you get what you need to move one step closer to your goal.
DAY 5: Complete clarity about what YOU want from this idea and your next 90 days mapped out - so you have a concrete plan for making your thing your life.

The Deal on Showing Up (Live vs. Replays)

 

Look, we both know that a folder of unwatched videos won't change your life. Real change comes from showing up and doing the work. 
To... incentivize you, replays will be available through the weekend after the challenge, and then they're gone, gone, gone. I'm not trying to be mean; I just know how it goes. The best of intentions won't actually change your life. 
Besides, to make showing up live a total no-brainer (and fun), we'll have prize drawings every single day for LIVE attendees. But I also want to reward commitment. So, if you attend at least 4 of the 5 sessions live, you'll automatically get my go-to list of the best free tools that actually work for getting your first event off the ground.

Bonus: The Curator's Resource Guide (A Gift for Live Attendees)

Ever spend a whole weekend researching software instead of actually building your idea? Yeah, me too. So here's what I actually use:

  • Ticketing and payments - the platforms that work and look professional
  • Design tools - so you can create graphics that don't look like amateur hour
  • Project management - the exact setup I use to keep everything organized

Show up live for 4 of the 5 days, and it's yours.

From Acting Break to Building Bridges

Hey, I'm Anne. In my mid-twenties, I was a working actor with SAG health insurance—feeling like I’d made it. Then life shifted: I moved to Germany, started a family, and lost access to my creative community.

Years passed. I found work doing voiceover, commercials, and presenting—building a stable career with flexibility. But...  that wasn't my thing. I wanted to be acting.

At 47, with no current showreel or contacts and a 16-year gap, I faced the harsh truth: my old path was gone. I was rusty, out of practice, and didn’t know where to find high-level training in English.

So I stopped waiting. I started organizing workshops myself. I got the skills I needed - for free - built a community, and even made real income. Most importantly, I realized I'd found something that worked - a way forward that actually supported my creativity instead of competing with it.

That’s the mindset behind The Curator Academy Escape Route 5-Day Challenge—a proven way to turn your passion into paid experiences without pretending to be anyone but yourself.

 

This is for you if you feel like you're living a double life.

By day, you're a successful professional. You're competent, you're respected, and you're good at what you do. But when the workday is over, your real identity emerges: the potter, the writer, the actor, the coder, the strategist.

You know you're capable of more than just your 9-to-5, but the standard advice doesn't fit.

  • "Quit your job!" is reckless advice for someone with responsibilities.

  • "Fake it 'til you make it" feels inauthentic to your core.

  • "Just monetize your hobby" feels small and misses the point.

This challenge is for people who know exactly what they want but just haven't been able to connect the dots. It's about using what you already love to create a strategic bridge from where you are to where you belong.

Here's What People Say About Anne's LIVE Challenge Experience...

Jacky Rowland
"This challenge was packed with practical, implementable advice.  I already have my next steps mapped out."
Lamont James Brown
"So much great, useful information! So much so that I had to pause to let it sink in—and actually take action!The strategies I learned in just the first two sessions are already getting results. 
Elizabeth Leslie

"Thank you, Anne. I am feeling more confident that I can be on the right path to success in my career."

Judith Shoemaker
"I really liked having a little thing to do every day, and it was great that any questions that popped up were basically answered in the next session. I even saw results before the challenge was over!"
Ivona Stolzenburg
"I didn’t expect the amount of impact. Anne showed us so many details that I didn’t even know existed. She fulfilled them more than I ever thought she would."
