    57. We're in the Money! Financial Literacy for Actors with Kyle Timson

    Savings and interest and debt, oh my! Financial literacy can be a scary topic, we know, but it's so important for actors to learn how to be in control of their money and feel more secure in such an unpredictable industry. That's why we brought our friend Kyle Timson to the podcast today to teach us all about it!

    Kyle is an actor and graduate of the University of Michigan, currently touring as the dance captain and male swing on the North American tour of Les Miserables. He's also made it his mission to improve financial literacy in the performing arts industry by providing classes and personal coaching for actors. We talked to Kyle about savings accounts, student loan debt, 401k's, and more--and if those topics send shivers down your spine, don't worry! Kyle explains them all in easy-to-understand ways that will leave you feeling inspired and empowered.

    55. Alternate Career Paths with Hannah Flam

    55. Alternate Career Paths with Hannah Flam

    If you're pursuing a performance degree, you may be wondering, "What else can I do with this degree?" It turns out, a lot more than you think! Today, we've brought to the podcast our friend Hannah Flam, a New York City-based performer and project manager. Hannah received her BFA in Musical Theatre from the University of Michigan and now works as a digital marketing project manager for the Department of Neurosurgery at Lenox Hill Hospital. When Hannah took a break from performing to recover from an injury, she discovered new ways to use her creative skills in a field she never would've expected--healthcare administration!

    We talked to Hannah about all the different ways she uses what she learned from her theatre degree, the pros and cons of having a full time job outside of performing, and how she's been able to reclaim her love of performing on her own terms after recovering from what could've been a career-ending injury. Hannah is passionate about helping others live their happiest and healthiest lives, so take a listen and get inspired!
