For those of you in the LA area, I wanted to invite you to a profound and powerful play I’m directing and performing in by Toni Press-Coffman called TOUCH. It’s an extraordinary piece, and I’m proud to be a part of it.
Visit www.digtheater.org for tickets and more details!
It runs for two nights only in Santa Monica: Friday, February 12th and Sunday, February 14th. We’re intentionally producing it across the Valentine’s weekend as a celebration of love, loss, hope and the eternal spirit. It’s also an inexpensive alternative to the overpriced fanfare ($9 beers or dinners that cost $60 a plate rather than the typical $16).
Tickets are $15 only and each performance will be followed by a gala reception. So we’re expecting the production to sell out quickly. Read the rest of this entry »

Recording at Inside Acting
Finance never did look and sound so sultry.
So a couple of months back I was interviewed by former student Trevor Algatt on his awesome LA industry podcast, Inside Acting. This bi-monthly series includes commentary, interviews, and current events across the industry spectrum. I was pegged to share my thoughts on finance. It turned out to be a very spirited discussion about the nature of our businesses: art and money, of course.
Anyway, check it out here and share the love, y’all. Enjoy!
Seasons Greetings!
Abundance is all around us, and even when we’re not aware of the bright signs of prosperity, they shine on, hoping to attract our gaze. Sadly, our attention is often misdirected. We concern ourselves with the depressed economy, or compare ourselves to those with more stuff, cash or opportunities, or we pine over dreams that have yet to come true.
This Holiday Season, we invite you to reconfigure your focus. We know that the greatest rewards in life are free: the health and love of family, friends, and fellow artists. We challenge you to adopt a spirit of gratitude. Share in the revelry that life’s simplest pleasures can offer. Laughter, community, and the bold expression of your talents are the seeds of gentle greatness, so selflessly feed on these fruits to nourish and grow strong.
After a free coaching session with Santa's elves. Bryan asked for cookies... Hats are not cookies.
There’s plenty of time to think about and talk about money. Let’s continue that conversation in 2010. Together. For now, the one opportunity for joy exists in this moment. Seize it intently, live fully and without restraint, smile broadly and dance. Celebrate all that you have with humility.
From our entire team, our best wishes for a joyous, passionate and prosperous holiday season. Thank you for choosing to be part of our community. We simply cannot wait to create 2010 with you.
With gratitude,
Miata & The Abundance Bound Creative Team
Don’t Run—Investing is not that Scary!
Another long day battling our inner creative and financial demons.
Many people want to have more money—okay, everyone does. However, most people don’t know how to go about building wealth, even if they are high income earners. Their money often just sits in their bank account, because they really don’t know what to do with it or they are too afraid to take a risk. When it comes to us, the actors and artists, we also don’t want to risk losing the scant amount of money we have earned because we need that to make ends meet while we pursue our artistic careers.
What you have to seriously ask yourself is, with the scant amount of money and what you have to do to earn it, do you really have the time and energy to pursue your artistic career?
