Welcome to a new series, INDUSTRY EXPERTS: How to Spend Money on your Artistic Career. The purpose of this series is to give you, actors & creatives, a panel of opinions from people who have been in the industry a while on the best ways to use your money to grow your career. As a money coach, I teach you how to save money without a consistent paycheck and create longevity in your career via financial stability, and these interviews are to bring in advice on how to spend those savings in a way that actually generates an ROI (adding in the nuance that more spending money won't automatically equal more bookings, and all the free ways you can invest in your career).
