    A Pageant by Morons, for Morons?

    High-performance pageant coaching, shared weekly. Trusted by 350+ titleholders in Miss Universe, Miss USA, Miss America, and beyond. This isn’t theory. It’s what works. Start your journey for free: http://thepageantproject.com/subscribe - Have you ever noticed that the likelihood of a fanbase getting irrationally angry is directly proportional to how passionate they are? Whether they’re Trekkies, Swifties, or Flat Earthers, there’s no point trying to convince them they’re wrong - you are. The exact same rule applies to pageants. The industry may not be as big as it once was, but in many ways, that means the remaining people are even more passionate on average. And, make no mistake, they’re passionate about many things: * Which pageant is the best * Which pageant coach is the best * Who the favorites/hotpicks are for any given pageant * Who’s got the prettiest dress * Who spoke the most eloquently But here’s the question. Should you listen to any of it? Forget pageant fans for a second. If you take on a well-known pageant coach, and they tell you that you entered the wrong pageant, would you take their advice? What about if they told you your talent or platform was wrong, or they made you question things such as your food choices or your religious or political beliefs? Unfortunately, pageantry is FULL of characters like that. There are far too many people with opinions, and far too few with the reasoning, experience, or critical thought to back them up. All this to say - never let anyone tell you that your reasons are “wrong”, whether that’s your reasons for competing in a pageant, the career path your choose to take, or the life partner you choose to spend the rest of your life with. And never let anyone tell you you’re a moron either… but you’ll have to watch or listen to this week’s episode to get the BTS on that one! Adrian. - Looking to win your next pageant interview?

  2. The ONLY 3 reasons to compete in a pageant in 2026

    The ONLY 3 reasons to compete in a pageant in 2026

    Our next mock interview is on Thursday 29th January at 8pm EST. If you’re serious about winning your next pageant interview, visit pageantmock.com (3 spots left). Never ever enter a pageant purely to win. I get it, I’m competitive too, but let’s be real. Pageant judging can be an absolute farce, and it’s often when you least expect it. Are you honestly telling me you’re prepared to put in all the hard work, only to have it thrown away simply because a clueless judge picked the pretty girl who smiled at him? I didn’t think so. In my opinion, there are only 3 reasons you should be entering a pageant in 2026. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t want to win, or that you won’t win, it simply means that the win would be the proverbial icing on the cake. If I had only one wish for you heading into 2026, it would be that you set up the game of pageantry in such a way that you walk away as a better person at the end of it, regardless of the result, and that you viewed the whole experience as ‘worth it’. Watch this week’s video or listen to the episode and let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Do you agree with my 3 reasons? Or would you make some changes? Best Adrian.
