Welcome to another installment of my podcast series, INSIDE 1:1 COACHING, where I’m giving you an inside look on what a private money coaching call is actually like, how money gets talked about behind closed doors, and how much can change in your finances with just 30 minutes of time.   These episodes are real 1:1 coaching calls, some with current/past clients and some are people I’ve never coached before (everyone has given permission for these calls to be shared  with you here).   1:1 coaching is for creatives, business owners, and those of you whose brains...

In this episode, I’m catching up with past client Camron Alexander, a multi-hyphenate theatre artist living here in NYC. We’re diving into his personal financial wellness journey, and what took him from starving artist to financially confident.

 

Tune in to hear:

 

✨ How getting 3 months ahead on bills supported him when he was abruptly let go from his day job

✨ How he made an extra $500 in one month

✨ How he fundraised $30k to produce and direct a play he’s passionate about

✨ The mindset shifts that were pivotal releasing money anxiety (and the one tool he keeps coming back to)

 

And so much more!!!

 

Camron Alexander (he/him) is a queer multi-hyphenate theatre maker. He is most passionate about stories muddling through the messy, grey areas of what it is to be human- classical theatre and contemporary queer new works. Training:  Alley Theatre (Houston Young Playwright Exchange), University of Houston (BFA - Acting). Producing/Adaptation/Directing:  Rec Room Arts (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hedda Gabler.)   Camron is making his NYC producing and directorial debut on Angry Fags by Topher Payne, coming to TheaterLab this August. He can’t wait to see you there! When not living his multi-hyphenate dreams, you can find him caffeinating at a cafe, picnicking in the park with friends, or slinging drinks in Hell's Kitchen. @camronrossalexander @angryf_gs
