405: The Money Mistakes Keeping Artists Broke with Amber Reusch
 Let’s talk about the topic most artists would rather avoid: MONEY.
You can be an incredible artist and still struggle financially if you don’t understand the business side of your career.
In this week’s episode of the Artist Next Level Podcast, I’m joined by Amber Reusch, CPA, entrepreneur, working artist, and founder of Dots & Digits Accounting.
We dive into some of the biggest financial mistakes Amber sees artists making today. But here's the big takeaway:
Understanding your numbers isn't about restriction. It's about freedom.
When you know what your art business actually costs, what you're earning, where your money is going, and what you need to charge, you can make better decisions—and build a career that actually supports the life you want.
🎧 Listen to the new episode of Artist Next Level and let's stop being afraid of the money side of being an artist.
Your art deserves a sustainable business behind it.
