2. 💸 Finances: Let's get a little taboo, shall we? We let you in on how we approach finances as artists who also have full-time jobs outside of their creative field — budgeting for projects, when to separate art money, what's worth spending on, money lessons learned the hard way, and more.

5. ☑️ Punch Cards: It never hurts to have a little fun and hop on a trend. Hear what the BCC hosts' punch cards look like for 2026, and why this can be a fun way to gamify and visualize progress.
