My name is Evan, and I’m the world’s 1st “party coach.”

My name is Evan, and I love to party.
During 15+ years in music/nightlife I participated in over 1000 festivals/concerts, experiencing the highs and lows of the "party scene" — and while humans have a universal need to CONNECT, many of us get trapped between anxiety, fear, or booze/substances.
After a 3 day festival a friend asked: “Why can’t we do this every weekend without feeling like shit on Monday?”
Fast forward 4 years, and now I party sober & help ANYONE connect with their natural confidence, set clear intentions for their social life, and thrive without needing booze or substances (or giving them up forever).
Clients appreciate that I am a walking paradox: a sober guy who loves to party. And I also bring over 2 decades of coaching experience, along with an honors degree from the nerdiest school on the planet (known to some as “where fun comes to die”) the University of Chicago.
In addition to certifications in Hot Yoga and thousands of hours in personal & team development—workshops, retreats, and masterminds—the core of my work actually comes from 10 years in the elite college & MBA admissions field, consulting the world’s highest performing students on how to leverage their authentic confidence successfully into their dream schools.Which is quite similar to helping people develop the natural confidence to unleash their dream social life.
But the number 1 skill of any coach is LISTENING. I want to hear from you: what’s working and not working in your social life? From there, we can work towards letting go of all the battles you don’t need to fight anymore.
-
Put very simply: I help you see potential in your ability to party.
I’ll ask you tough questions and listen intently about WHY you’re anxious, why you feel (or felt) reliant on substances, and give you practical tools to experiment in your social life.
What I do NOT do is help you get or stay sober. I will NOT tell you what you need to do, or hold you accountable to what you (and adult) can do on your own.
HOWEVER: I will support your healthiest social life by NEVER shaming or judging how you’re able to show up in the world.
Skeptical (but curious)? Good.
You can read testimonials from clients in the LA Times & hear why I wish I had a “party coach” in my life 10 years ago at The National Desk.
“I knew it was gonna be really hard for me to do it, but then I heard Evan was doing this and if there’s someone who’s gonna motivate me to do this, it’s gonna be Evan. Evan has a lot of authentic wisdom. I loved being in this group.”

Ben is all about partying with purpose.
His background as an artist manager and lawyer in the electronic music scene helps him utilize the various skills, along with hundreds of concerts, shows and festivals attended, to share his social supercharging story as a coach for KNOWFUN.
His journey began in 2020 with a life altering experience in Mexico, leading to pursuing passions for music, dance, live experiences, and holistic health. As he discovered the power of experiences, Ben spent the next three years of his life transforming from a self-professed "extreme introvert" for the first three decades of his life into a social butterfly. He is known for getting feral on the dance floor, seeking out and amplifying immaculate musical experiences, and finding genuine joy in making and fostering authentic connections with people from all walks of life while embracing the beat of the music.

happy clients speak to la times:
“There are all sorts of coaches — life, spiritual, career, fitness — who promise to help in one facet of your life or another. But as a party coach, Cudworth is unique (he’s the only one that Google turns up).
“It’s been really helpful encouraging me to get over my anxiety, get over myself, get over needing substances, and just actually get out there and be social,” Demyanovich said.”

happy clients speak to LA times:
“It seemed really silly at first,” Ivey said. “I think most people’s initial reaction is to smirk and go, ‘What is that,’ but when I heard more of what it was, it sounded up my alley.”
Ivey booked Cudworth for four one-on-one sessions over a month to work on how to approach social settings that were also quasi-professional.”

join the club.
stop chasing.
enjoy being.
Many programs overpromise “transformation.”
We promise you fun & freedom to be more yourself.
Programs often flood you with boring courses you’ll never watch or complete.
Not here. You’ll listen to podcasts & tune in to scheduled ZOOM calls, while PRIORITIZING real life community.
Therapy & self development is great…
But what happens when you step into social situations?
Most self-improvement communities are pits of toxic positivity.
In this house—we say it like it is.
how it works:
find acceptance.
social life has changed & you need to adapt.
first, let go of old stories/habits.
adopt growth mindset.
learn how dopamine works in your brain & how to better regulate motivation & reward systems.
REDEFINE confidence.
flip the script on how you approach every activity.
become a CREATOR of fun instead of CONSUMING it.
REDISCOVER fun.
enjoy a more AUTHENTIC, FULFILLING, & MEMORABLE life that works for you.
