- Time

- Where
- Online, or in the room in Abuja. 25 seats in the room.
You do not have a visibility problem.
You are good at the work. The craft is there, the hours are there, the taste is there. The people who could pay for it have never seen it, and the people who have seen it were never the buyers.
When someone lands on your page, they cannot tell what you are for. They cannot tell who you work with, what problem you remove, or what it costs to start. So they scroll, and they hire the person who made all of that plain.
That is a clarity problem, not a talent problem. Clarity is something you can build. In three hours we take your work apart and put it back together so a stranger understands it in ten seconds.
What you will leave with
A position
One sentence that says who you serve and what you remove. Written, tested, and said out loud before you leave.
A profile that converts
Your page and your feed rebuilt around one job: turning a stranger into a conversation.
A price you can defend
A number you arrived at on purpose, and the words to hold it when a client pushes back.

This masterclass

- Pricing shown on the booking page.
- How long
- One Tuesday afternoon
- What you leave with
- The three things that change what you get paid
Fees quoted are published 2026 rates from Nigerian film academies and the standard session range for experienced consultants.
The most expensive option is the free one.
You do not have to trust us for three hours
Sit through the whole session.
If you get to the end and still cannot name the thing that is costing you clients, tell us before you leave that day.
We will put you in the next masterclass, free.
And you keep the recording either way.
We are not asking you to gamble. We are asking you to show up.
The three hours
Hour 1 · Zubby
Why talented people stay invisible
The habits that keep good work quiet, and how to name what you actually do.
Hour 2 · Judah
Being found and being believed
Where buyers look, what they read first, and the proof that makes them stay.
Hour 3 · Zubby and Judah
Money and what to do on Monday
Setting a price, quoting it plainly, and the first four things you change this week.
The session closes with 30 minutes of live questions, answered on the call.
The hosts
Zubby Gabriel
Founder, MindMesh Academy
Works with creatives on positioning: saying the one true thing that makes the right client stop.
Judah
Co-Director, MindMesh Academy
Works on the part buyers actually see: the profile, the proof, and the path to a first message.
What is included
- The live three hour session on 6 October
- A 7 day replay of the full session
- The Workbook, used during the class and after it
- Priority access to the next cohort
What this is not
There is no certificate. Nothing is awarded and nothing is graded.
You will not build a portfolio here, and nobody critiques your work.
It is a room you sit in for three hours. You leave knowing what is wrong, and what to do about it.
