What we’re about
Working in Hollywood is unlike working anywhere else in the world, and this meetup meets frequently to help members get the skills they need. Most of our live events are free, and we have a deep library of past recorded workshops that will help you learn what you need to know on demand.
Media jobs in Hollywood usually last days, weeks, or months, not years. To thrive here in the entertainment industry, you need to be entrepreneurial, well-informed, collaborative, and financially savvy. You need to understand the economics of media and deal making.
If you are looking for lots of in-depth, practical, friendly events that dive deep into how you can engineer your success in one of the most competitive and fun industries on earth, this is the meetup for you.

About this Event
Brian Brady: Police Chief & Detective Writes Police Procedural Mysteries
oin us for a fascinating conversation with Brian Brady, author of the gripping crime novel Greed, the third book in his acclaimed police procedural series. With over 30 years of experience in law enforcement—from the urban avenues of Los Angeles and the university streets of Berkeley to the remote highways around Hopi and Navajo tribal lands—Brady brings extraordinary insight and authenticity to his fiction.
Now a highly respected security expert advising institutions and agencies responsible for protecting billions in people and property, Brady draws on a lifetime of encounters with real-life crime, complex investigations, and the inner workings of justice systems few people ever get to see.
In this engaging and revealing workshop, we’ll explore:- Which of his characters and storylines are based on real people and true events
- The personal traits that define great police officers, and great homicide detectives, across the country
- What the most dangerous criminals have in common—and why they’re so difficult to predict or stop
- How real-life interrogations differ from what you see on screen or read about in books
- What it's like to police the vast, remote territories of Native American reservations
- What “community-based” policing means in the context of a murder investigation
- What it takes to protect film studios and high-profile talent on locations worldwide (and who are the most difficult people to work with)
- Why protecting high-value art is even harder than you’d expect—and why it’s absolutely worth every penny
We'll also talk about how Brady plots, writes, edits, and publishes his work, along with the marketing he does to ensure his novels find their audience. We’ll dive into his compelling cast of characters, the dynamics of his fictional crime-solving team, and the classic police procedural novels that inspire him.
Brady recently wrapped a Barnes & Noble book tour across Northern California, and his stories—on and off the page—are as captivating as they are eye-opening.
This event is perfect for fans of crime fiction, aspiring mystery writers, screenwriters, and anyone interested in the truth behind the badge.
