This week, Henry Gibson share with us financial advice, tips, and tricks to maximize our financial savings. This is not a sponsored episode – Henry is a friend and actor who offered up his time to provide advice.
Henry Gibson-Garcia began his career as an actor, performing onstage in and in front of the camera for over a decade. Starting in 2019, he began using the skills he’d developed as an actor and director to provide training in Leadership, Collaboration, and Communication to medical students through Improv. Earlier this year, after years of reading and studying personal finance, he became a financial coach and investment advisor with Plan & Act, a wealth management firm seeking to provide finance advice to ordinary Americans. With a background in coaching, and with real experience of what it’s like to survive as a Creative, Henry hopes he can make a positive difference in people’s lives.
