In this episode, I talk about the relationship between art and politics and why I think we need to think critically about the things we love, so that we can better understand and advocate for their value. If we can imagine a better world, we can create it.

EP 5: Art Problems: Fear, Money and Politics
Sunday Oct 30, 2022
Sunday Oct 30, 2022
Why do artists feel so much fear and self doubt around money? I sat down with artist and accountant Hannah Cole to discuss how fear of money impacts what we do and how to reframe that fear into pleasurable experiences. And no, I’m not joking—in this episode we talk about how to enjoy the act of bookkeeping! Other topics include, how a lack of tax education in this country impacts artists and what you can do to, as she says, “find more twenty dollar bills in your pocket.”
