231. How to build financial security as a creative entrepreneur

This week, we’re diving into a topic every self-employed creative needs to understand—but that most of us avoid: taxes. And trust me, this conversation is anything but dry.

I’m joined by Hannah Cole, tax expert, longtime working artist, founder of Sunlight Tax, and author of the brand-new book Taxes for Humans: Simplify Your Taxes and Change the World When You're Self-Employed. Hannah has helped tens of thousands of creatives build confidence around money through her clear, compassionate, jargon-free approach. She believes that financial clarity is a foundation for better, more meaningful creative work.

Whether you’re early in your business or leveling up, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered, informed, and equipped to make smarter financial decisions—so you can focus on your best creative work.

Grab Hannah’s book Taxes for Humans, and get ready to rethink what’s possible with your money and your creativity.
