Confessions of a Pageant King

Looking to win your next pageant interview? We hold weekly mock interview sessions on Thursday evenings at 8pm ET. Sign up at:👉 pageantmock.com--I’ve been working with a lot of clients on branding and strategy recently.These are words that are thrown around far too often in pageantry, usually by coaches who have no idea what they mean.I’m not talking about your ‘branding kit’ - fonts, hex colors, headshots etc. I’m talking about who you are, what you stand for, and how people remember you.If they remember you at all.* Nike =Just do it* Apple = Think different* FedEx = When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight* The Pageant Project (me) = The best way to succeed in pageantry is to create an amazing life outside of itA client asked me for help with content creation, but that’s rarely a problem unto itself. The bigger problem is you have no idea WHY you’re posting in the first place, plus you’re unclear as to what your brand or core message is.In this week’s video, I walk you through the 3 content creation questions you need to be able to answer.Plus, I’ll show you how to use ChatGPT to replace me (partially).Adrian.--I offer a limited number of private coaching sessions for contestants who are serious about taking home the crown.

Based in Sydney, Australia, Adrian began his journey in the pageant world as an interviewer after working as a tennis coach at an all-girls school, where he saw firsthand the challenges young women were facing around confidence and mental health. What started as a simple idea to interview inspiring women soon evolved into one of the largest interview archives in pageantry, with more than 350 interviews on The Pageant Project alone and over 500 long-form conversations across podcasts and other platforms.Today, Adrian focuses on high-performance coaching for pageant contestants, drawing on his background in sport, psychology, and interviewing to help women develop the self-awareness, communication skills, and strategic thinking needed to succeed in interview. Through The Pageant Project, he works with contestants from major systems including Miss USA, Miss America, and Miss Volunteer America, offering coaching, mock interviews, and educational content designed to elevate both performance and personal growth.

Looking to win your next pageant interview? We hold weekly mock interview sessions on Thursday evenings at 8pm ET. Sign up at:👉 pageantmock.comThis week I’m taking you back to a live webinar I did with Miss Georgia Teen USA Isabella Bloedorn.Georgia is in incredibly competitive pageant state, and Isabella managed to win her title despite it being her first-ever time entering a pageant, and she credits her interview as a huge reason.Many of you have big pageants coming up, and you might be asking yourself:“How can I stand out?”The answer is deceptively simple.Think different → Be different → Act different → Get different resultsPageant success always starts with how you think. How you plan. How you strategize.Your goal should be to outthink and outsmart your competitors at every turn. Avoid cliches at all cost. And be the one playing chess when everyone else is playing checkers.In this webinar replay, one thing will be very clear: the strategic way Isabella reverse-engineered her pageant success.Your mind may never work in quite the same way as Isabella’s does, but even a little strategic thinking goes a long way.Best,Adrian.I offer a limited number of private coaching sessions for contestants who are serious about taking home the crown.

It makes you feel disciplined. Driven. Different.It feels powerful to:* Train twice a day* Stack your calendar* Say no to everything except prep* Be exhaustedIt feels like proof that you want it more.But busy without direction is the beginning of delusion.Because effort is not the differentiator at the top level.Strategy is.Here’s the shift most competitive contestants never make.They start with themselves.* My platform* My talent* My wardrobe* My workout planThat’s backwards.Killers start with the system.They ask:* What is this pageant actually trying to produce?* Is it growing?* Is it rebranding?* Is it chasing visibility?* Is it building scholarship credibility?* What kind of titleholder makes the director’s life easier?If you haven’t reverse-engineered the system, you’re guessing.And guessing does not win major pageants.Think of an old-school Venn diagram. There are two circles:* What the pageant wants.* What you bring to the table.Your job is to expand the overlap.If the overlap is small, you have work to do.If there’s no overlap, you either chose wrong or you need to evolve.And if you’re truly competitive, evolution should excite you.But here’s another uncomfortable truth.Most of you over-invest in your strengths.* You polish the walk you’re already confident in.* You refine the talent you already enjoy.* You keep rehearsing what makes you feel capable.Meanwhile, the component that could cost you the crown stays underdeveloped.That’s not discipline. That’s ego protection.Because achiever types don’t like uncertainty.Stop training skills in isolation. Start training outcomes.Instead of asking:* How do I perfect my walk?Ask:* What wins runway in this venue?Instead of:* How do I tighten my answers?Ask:* What makes them see me as the inevitable titleholder?Instead of:* What talent should I perform?Ask:* What dominates in this room?There is a difference between looking prepared and being inevitable.That difference is strategic thinking.That’s what this week’s video is about.In it, I break down:* The real mistake hyper-competitive contestants make every year* Why “just be yourself” is weak advice if you actually want to win* How new and rebranding systems change the strategy completely* Why being busy feels productive but often isn’t* And how to think about every component through a strategic lensThis is not a tactics video.It’s a mindset and positioning video.This is you playing chess whilst everyone else is playing checkers.If you’re serious about winning, this is upstream work.Most contestants will never think this way.That’s why most contestants never win.If this made you uncomfortable, good.Now go watch the video.Then get to work.Adrian.--Looking to win your next pageant interview?

Stories. Structure. Keeping your answers tight. Sounding polished.That’s where almost everyone stops.* You improve.* You feel sharper.* You stop rambling.And then you plateau.Because there’s a third level.Interview 301: Persuasion. Influence. Reading the room.Not just answering questions, but moving people.Most pageant contestants are practicing Interview 201 skills over and over again, then wondering why they are not breaking through.If you’ve felt stuck, this might be why.In this week’s video, I explain what Interview 301 actually looks like and how to start building it.Because good answers do not win pageant interviews.Influence does.Adrian.--I offer a limited number of private coaching sessions for contestants who are serious about taking home the crown.

But judges (and humans in general) make decisions emotionally.By the time you sit down, they already have a feeling about you.* Confident or unsure* Magnetic or flat* Titleholder material or notAnd then your answers either confirm that feeling… or struggle to overcome it.Interview isn’t a memorization contest.It’s persuasion.It’s presence.* It’s how you walk in.* How you sit.* How you make eye contact.* How you make them feel.Logic matters.But emotion comes first.In this week’s video, I break down:* Why 80% of the decision happens before you even open your mouth* The soft skills most contestants never train and never know about* And how to start working on the part of interview that actually winsWatch it with one question in mind:When I walk out of the room, will the judges think of me as the best and only logical decision to be their next titleholder?That’s where interview is won.

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 eloquentlyBut 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?

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?BestAdrian.Got a question or issue that needs to be discussed about the pageant industry? Visit pageantpod.com. Questions can be submitted anonymously.
