Meet Our Founder

BJ Gianni founded TYF Coaching (formerly Talented Young Folks) in June 2012 as a way to bridge her passion for youth engagement, acting and finances together. She infuses each of her lessons with her experiences as a full-time professional actress, accountant, youth mentor and public school educator. Her performance resume includes countless national/regional television ads, print gigs, stageplays, hosting jobs, dance performances and Film/TV bookings. With over two decades of industry experience she now spends her time teaching industry skills to youth who desire a career in the field. Her two charismatic children have also found success in the acting industry so she has firsthand experience with parent management and all its joys (wink wink). She hopes that TYF Coaching will provide similar outcomes for every creative that crosses her path. At the very least, it is her desire to leave her mark on the industry with these staple quotes that have been the pillars of her success:

"In an industry full of busy, non-stop, hustle advice, never be afraid to step back and take a break to regroup and breathe... you're a human first and people forget that sometimes when chasing dreams."

"Be respectful of the way things have always been done, but also listen to your gut when it says it's time to be a rebel. Both ways of thinking will serve your career in different seasons."

"Dream often, dream out loud, roll your eyes at the naysayers and keep dreaming and know that it's no one's business but yours if you dream a new dream everyday. Surround yourself with people who let you dream."

- BJ Gianni, TYF Founder
