    I 100% agree that you are inspiring others by doing this. Its OK for artists to make a ton of money. It's OK for artists to talk about finances. It's OK to live your best life and share it with others and that will attract like minded people who celebrate success, not look down on it. For everyone "success" means something different, but you're inspiring people to chase their dreams!

  • @crawfordcapturesco

    Great video my friend, and congrats on the success this year! You worked for it for sure! I appreciated in this iteration of the series that you shared some details on expenses and net vs gross-I think that’s so important for young creatives to see and understand! An updated video post-tax season might be a pretty cool follow up to this. Just an idea!

    Would love to see how you go about getting these partnerships, sponsorships and gaining new clients for portraits/commercial work -- just basically how you got to where you did. I'm sure you've been reached out to, but I'm sure you also do your fair share of outreach as well.
