FRIENDS IN FILM EXPOSED: My experience with Janet Urban's "Mentorship"
So a little over a year ago I was seriously considering doing Janet Urban’s Friends In Film program. I saw a lot of content for it come up on my feed and had inquired with others you did the program and just trying to find out more info on it before I made the investment.
I guess Janet caught wind of me looking into it and directly emailed me about where my head was as far as signing up and paying the 5k. A little unexpected, but I replied that I was still considering and had (what I thought) was a simple question about the payment. It is by month or do you pay for the full year flat rate?, to which she replied:
Talk about a 180. To say this was a bizarre and unnerving response would be an understatement. I was tempted to cut bait right then and there but I wanted a chance to clarify. This is what I said.
To which she replied:
Mind you she never actually answered my question. Easy for her to say it’s not a money issue, IT'S HER PROGRAM, that I found rich.
Seriously this is who you’d be giving 5k to “mentor you”. She showed her true colors and intentions and I knew never to make the mistake of buying I her bullshit. I put this out so those you can avoid the same trap. There’s nothing worse than someone who preys on the desires and dreams of others and then turns out to be like this. It’s kind of hard to have a good mindset when the person your engaging isn’t being fully transparent.
