A comedic twist on a financial literacy seminar for artists and creatives. Two very different characters, “Boss” a 20-something artist and work out instructor, and “BJ” a 70-something accountant, come together to deliver the information artists need to know on how to stay motivated, work smarter, and achieve a better work-life balance.
Written and performed in collaboration with Bayley Brown

FUNances Manifesto AKA Boss’s Errant Thought
As long as you’re connected
To the thing that gives you passion,
That gives you purpose
You’re winning
It may not look like
You think it should look
Or how you thought it would look
When you first started
But as long as you’re still connected
Still fighting
For that thing that makes you feel more valuable than gold
You’re doing it right
You may have to pick up work and skills
in a more lucrative field,
say, Marketing,
In order to make money
But as long as you’re still fighting
You’ll have the will to fund your passion
Grant yourself the power to devote to your work
And give to others who need encouragement
Because the world needs art
The world needs people who have the ability
To manifest the inner world
And share it with others
As long as you’re connected to the thing that gives you passion,
that gives you purpose
You’re winning
