Sound familiar?
“What if I freeze on stage — and everyone sees it?”
“Everyone thinks I've made it. Why do I feel like I'm falling apart?”
“One bad review, one rough night — and my head won't let it go for a week.”
“I can't talk to anyone about this. Who would even understand my life?”
If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
Who I am
I'm Ian — a certified life coach with certifications in hypnosis and NLP. I've spent 20 years in the music business: DJ and producer in Austin, including 5 years on tour with artists like Kendrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator, and Chance the Rapper. I run E Philz Music today. I know green rooms, soundchecks, and crowds from the inside — I don't just study pressure, I've lived it.
What I do
One-on-one mindset coaching built for life in public — practical tools you can use the same day.
- 3-minute pre-performance reset
- Interrupting the pressure spiral
- Handling scrutiny and criticism without it wrecking the next performance
- 24-hour bounce-back routine after a bad show or bad press
Why it works
It's not a lack of talent or work ethic. Nobody trains you for the mental side of public life — the scrutiny, the pressure, the weight of being seen. That's exactly what we train here.
The show has to go on even when your head isn't right. Pressure, scrutiny, and the mental weight of being seen don't pause for anyone — so your mindset can't be fragile.
Conditioning, not therapy — practical performance skills, trained like athletes train Tools that work under pressure — hypnosis and NLP techniques, applied to real high-stakes moments Built for public life — designed for people who perform while the world watches
No commitment · Completely private.

FAQ
Is this therapy? No. This is mindset conditioning — practical performance skills, like athletes train. It is not therapy, counseling, or medical treatment.
Will coaching dull my edge or make me less creative? No. The goal isn't to sand you down — it's to clear the parts that hijack you: the panic, the spiral, the self-attack. You stay sharp and intense; you just stop getting in your own way.
What if someone finds out I'm working with a coach? They won't hear it from me. No names ever shared. Sessions are private, and Zoom means no waiting room and no chance of being recognized walking into an office.
How is my privacy protected? Complete confidentiality. Discreet, private, no names ever shared. What happens in coaching stays in coaching.
What happens in a session? We map your pressure points and build your reset toolkit — practical tools for pre-performance resets, interrupting pressure spirals, and bouncing back after a tough show or bad press.
Do we meet in person or online? Both. In person in Austin, Texas, or over Zoom — so you can work with me from anywhere in the world.
