Actor Aleisha Force talks with host Ben Hauck about how being a person first and an actor second helps to organize her life and finances as an actor. In the interview, Aleisha shares how she categorizes and organizes her various "person" and "actor" expenses, as well as how she prioritizes what categories she spends her money on. She also explains how keeping her financial situation in order primes her for promoting her acting work. Aleisha gives advice on when to spend on luxury items or things that make her a more satisfied and fascinating person, which can in effect bolster interest in her as an actor. Her dramatic story of moving from Texas to New York City had serious financial implications, but her spending principles helped keep her balanced and focused while recovering in the new and more expensive professional market. But as Aleisha divulges, she's not the only advocate of being a person first and an actor second, as others in the industry mirror her sentiment.
