47: Side Hustles with Chip Klose

Musical theatre writer and restaurant marketer Chip Klose discusses how side hustles can provide the financial foundation for an artistic life.   He has spent the past 20 years balancing two different careers: one in hospitality and the other in the arts. He holds a BFA in Musical Theatre and is a card-carrying member of both AEA and SDC. He's been an actor, director, producer, and most recently a writer.   Throughout all of that, he's supported himself by working in restaurants. He worked his way up from host to server to captain to maitre d' to manager and finally as a restaurant consultant. He's leveraged his operational and marketing experience to help chefs and restaurant owners build more profitable businesses.   He is the host of the Restaurant Strategy Podcast, and the author of a book by the same name.   Chip Klose - Marketing Website: https://www.chipklose.com/   Chip's Podcast for Restaurant Marketers: https://www.RestaurantStrategyPodcast.com   Chip Klose Instagram @chipklosecreative: https://www.instagram.com/chipklosecreative/   Chip's Writing Website: http://www.roseberryandklose.com/   New York City Ballet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Ballet   Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Free Audiobook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gliZHyovI7c&ab_channel=ThomasBennett   The 4-Hour Workweek - Tim Ferriss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u3HZ9WduqE&ab_channel=TimFerriss   Gotham Bar and Grill - NYC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotham_Bar_and_Grill   Blue Fin - Times Square Restaurant: https://www.bluefinnyc.com/   Millennial Investing - Real Estate Episode with Mindy Jenson and Scott Trench: https://www.theinvestorspodcast.com/real-estate-101/dont-destroy-your-wealth-and-freedom/   Vanguard - Known for low cost index funds: https://retirementplans.vanguard.com/VGApp/pe/PublicHome#/   E-trade - brokerage account: https://us.etrade.com/home   Links from the Patreon Only Episode:   Justin Peck - American Choreographer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Peck   ...   Interview by Ethan Steimel   Become a patron at: www.patreon.com/artisticfinance   www.artisticfinance.com www.patreon.com/artisticfinance instagram.com/artisticfinance twitter.com/ethansteimel facebook.com/artisticfinance youtube.com/artisticfinance
