Do you have a plan for your money? Do you tell your money what to do or are your surprised at the end of the month by how it is spent? By creating a solid plan, audience members will have the steps to create a budget, get out of debt, build an emergency fund and begin to save for retirement. Participants will leave knowing that they can begin their path of financial freedom.

Please bring pencil or pen along with something to take notes.

Small Group Sessions are facilitated discussions with the goal of digging deeper into some of the information and advice shared within the panels. These sessions provide a time to break down concepts into practical action items by which an actor can individually apply to their professional pursuits. This session will last for 1.5 - 2 hours. Participants must stay for the whole time.

AGENT BIO

Ashley Landay is thrilled to be an agent in the New York office of KMR. Born in Texas and raised in Colorado she found herself pinging between the two states her whole life. After her time in undergrad at Southern Methodist University in Dallas she unexpectedly found herself back in Colorado for graduate school, studying at the National Theatre Conservatory. It was during her training in Denver that she realized her dream wasn’t to be a working actor, but to help actors find work. New York City and talent representation was where she knew she needed to be. Ashley has spent the last nine years working as a very successful agent in a well-respected New York boutique agency, Professional Artists.

She brings to KMR a fun, passionate voice and is looking forward to the new journey this office has in store.

This seminar or class is for educational purposes only and will not secure or provide opportunity for employment in the field or representation by an agent.
