Social media can really bring people together!

Today I share my conversation with Welsh tenor Joshua Owen Mills, whom I met through Instagram!

He shares his experience as a freelance opera singer, and how a devastating illness taught him one thing: financial preparedness

Freelancers often do not get the benefit of insurance, or of sick leave.

What you make is what you get, and if you don't gig, you don't eat!

So what do we do when an injury or illness sidelines us?

Joshua shares some strategies to help you prepare for that inevitable rainy day.

Because here's the thing: at the end of the day, you need to be able to make objective decisions about your health.

Too many musicians put off taking care of their health because of financial pressures.

Joshua and I agree: we may not have ALL the answers

But we hope that our conversation today helps you to take steps to put your health needs first through financial preparedness!

Keep on keepin' on!
