By Alycia Kaback | Co-Founder of VIP Ignite Live and Truth Mgmt
Every time I meet someone who dreams of acting or modeling, I hear it:
“Alycia, I’d love to do this, but I don’t want to deal with all the drama.”
And I get it. You’ve seen the reality-show chaos, the gossip, the inflated egos, the people pretending to be something they’re not.
But here’s the truth no one tells you:
The drama isn’t the industry.
It’s the immaturity inside it.
And maturity — discipline, leadership, self-awareness — will make you untouchable.
💡 1. Drama Doesn’t Come from Hollywood — It Comes from People Who Don’t Belong There
Tony Robbins says,
“The energy you bring into a space is the energy that multiplies.”
Toxic people don’t make the industry toxic. They simply amplify what’s already inside them.
The truth? The entertainment industry is filled with some of the most disciplined, respectful, and purpose-driven professionals on earth.
Directors up at 5 a.m.
Actors memorizing lines while raising kids.
Models balancing work, workouts, and auditions.
That’s not drama — that’s dedication.
When you step into this world the right way, with the right mentors, you’ll find the good far outweighs the bad.
⚙ 2. Hormozi Logic: “You Get What You Tolerate”
Alex Hormozi says,
“If you don’t like what you’re attracting, change what you’re accepting.”
In other words, if you keep finding drama, it’s because you keep walking into rooms without standards.
At VIP Ignite, we teach you to set your standards high — for how you speak, how you show up, and who you surround yourself with.
You don’t attract toxicity when you carry professionalism like armor.
You attract opportunity.
🧠 3. The Psychology of “Toxic”
When people say “the industry is toxic,” what they often mean is “I’ve seen people behave badly and get away with it.”
And yes — egos exist. So do power plays, gossip, and insecurities.
But so does every other industry on earth.
The difference?
In this one, it’s visible.
Tony Robbins says,
“Whatever you hold in your mind on a consistent basis is exactly what you will experience in your life.”
If you look for drama, you’ll find it.
If you look for growth, mentors, and excellence — that’s what you’ll attract.
✨ 4. How VIP Ignite Redefines Culture
We don’t run on chaos.
We run on character.
Our community is built on five principles:
1. Respect — for time, talent, and truth.
2. Accountability — we don’t make excuses, we make results.
3. Collaboration — we rise by lifting each other.
4. Integrity — we keep our promises.
5. Positivity — because energy is contagious.
From the first Zoom BootCamp to our in-person events, the tone is clear:
No gossip. No competition. No ego.
Just growth.
💬 5. Real Stories from People Who Refused Drama
Brandon H. came into VIP Ignite after walking away from agencies that thrived on gossip.
Now he’s walked New York Fashion Week, appeared on And Just Like That, and said:
“When I switched from chasing attention to chasing mastery, the noise disappeared.”
Erika W., now a recurring guest star on STARZ’s Raising Kanan, said:
“I thought every set was like the ones I’d seen on reality TV. Then I got on a VIP Ignite production — and realized professionalism still exists.”
Christine H., who rebuilt her life from tragedy, said:
“This community isn’t toxic. It’s transformational.”
These aren’t exceptions — they’re the culture.
🔥 6. The Tony Robbins Reframe: “Energy In = Energy Out”
Tony teaches that your state creates your story.
If you walk into a room expecting competition, you’ll see rivals.
If you walk in expecting connection, you’ll see teammates.
At VIP Ignite, we train you to control your state before you step into any room.
Because the strongest presence in the room sets the tone.
When you master your energy, no one else’s can disrupt it.
🧩 7. The Hormozi Equation for Peace
Alex Hormozi talks about removing friction points in business.
The same applies to your career.
Friction = Unclear boundaries × weak vision.
When you know who you are, what you want, and how you operate — toxicity can’t touch you.
That’s why we don’t just train talent; we develop leaders.
People who can walk into any set, any audition, any meeting, and elevate the energy.
💎 8. Truth Mgmt: Proof That Professionalism Wins
Our sister company, Truth Mgmt, manages talent who work in major campaigns, television, and film.
You don’t maintain relationships with Netflix casting directors and Apple campaign producers by tolerating drama.
You do it by being consistent, ethical, and world-class.
That’s why agencies trust our talent — because they’re trained in both skill and spirit.
⚡ 9. The Most Toxic Thing You Can Do? Stay Average.
Mediocrity is its own form of poison.
It whispers, “Don’t stand out. Don’t try too hard. Just blend in.”
That’s how drama thrives — in spaces where no one is growing.
VIP Ignite isn’t about blending in.
It’s about becoming exceptional.
And exceptional people don’t compete in drama; they compete in discipline.
🌱 10. The Environment You Deserve
Healthy environments don’t happen by accident. They’re built intentionally.
That’s why every event, BootCamp, and mastermind we run is structured for growth:
🎯 Mentorship over management — we don’t control talent; we coach them.
🤝 Community over competition — collaboration creates confidence.
🚀 Accountability over accusation — we solve problems; we don’t spread them.
When you walk into a VIP Ignite event, you’ll feel it immediately — the absence of ego and the presence of excellence.
🧠 11. How to Protect Your Peace in Any Industry
Here’s what we teach every VIP Ignite talent:
1. Keep your purpose bigger than your pride.
2. Stay mission-driven, not approval-driven.
3. Leave every room better than you found it.
4. Never trade peace for popularity.
That’s how you stay grounded in an industry that tests your roots.
Because peace isn’t found — it’s practiced.
💬 12. What Our Talent Say About the Culture
Jackson C., former NFL player turned entrepreneur, said:
“VIP Ignite felt like a locker room of leaders — not divas.”
Deneen White, our President of Talent Services, says:
“We’ve built an ecosystem where kindness and excellence coexist.”
Soraya S., one of our community members, said it best:
“I thought drama was unavoidable in entertainment. Then I joined VIP Ignite and realized — professionalism is the vibe.”
🌍 13. Reframing “Drama” as a Test
Every challenge, every personality clash, every uncomfortable moment — it’s all feedback.
Tony Robbins says,
“Life isn’t happening to you; it’s happening for you.”
So when you encounter drama, see it for what it is — a test of leadership.
Do you react? Or do you rise?
Our training helps you build emotional intelligence so high that no amount of chaos can lower it.
💡 14. From Toxic to Transformational
Let’s redefine what “the industry” means.
The real industry isn’t the gossip on social media.
It’s the thousands of disciplined professionals bringing stories, brands, and art to life.
When you choose the right mentors and community, you’ll find the healthiest environment imaginable — creative, collaborative, and deeply fulfilling.
VIP Ignite isn’t here to throw you into the noise.
We’re here to hand you the mic so you can lead it.
🧭 15. The Hormozi Truth: “Control the Game by Changing the Field”
If you want to avoid drama, don’t run from the industry.
Redefine it.
Join spaces that operate with integrity.
Work with teams that value ethics over ego.
Align with mentors who model emotional strength.
That’s how you turn fear into focus — and drama into direction.
💫 16. A Final Word from Alycia
I’ve been in this industry for over twenty years. I’ve seen the fake, the flaky, and the phenomenal.
The difference between them is simple: intent.
Drama lives where insecurity leads.
Peace lives where purpose rules.
You get to decide which world you build.
So don’t run from the industry — redefine it.
Be the example of grace, focus, and professionalism that others aspire to.
Because when your character shines brighter than the chaos,
you don’t just survive this industry —
you transform it.

It needs you.
“It’s all about people skills and networking and that is what we offer.” – Alycia Kaback
