Fundability Mastery in Showbiz: Unveiling Credit & Business Strategies

Presented by VIP Ignite and Truth Mgmt on The Coffee In The Greenroom Podcast

Welcome to the world of VIP Ignite, where the realms of art and business intersect in the most dynamic ways. In a recent episode of The Coffee In The Greenroom Podcast, we had the pleasure of hosting Merrill Chandler, the Founder, Director, and CEO of Get Fundable and CreditSense. As a visionary and a financial, social, and spiritual maverick, Merrill brought a fresh perspective to the table – one that’s invaluable for actors, models, musicians, and all those dreaming of making it big in the entertainment industry.

The crux of our discussion with Merrill revolved around a groundbreaking concept: transforming your artistic talent into a fundable business.

This idea goes beyond just honing your skills; it’s about strategically positioning yourself as a business entity worthy of investment. In the ever-competitive world of show business, this approach could be the game changer for many.

One of the most enlightening parts of the conversation was when Merrill talked about credit and finance in relation to artists. He delved into the intricacies of credit card insider secrets, the dangers posed by credit card imposters, and the fundability landmines that artists must avoid. This segment was not just about managing finances but understanding how the financial world views and values artists. Merrill’s insights shed light on how artists can become more appealing and ‘fundable’ to potential investors and sponsors.

We explored how artists could effectively market and produce their skill sets. It’s a fascinating transition – seeing oneself not just as a creator of art but as a business entity that manages, produces, and markets this creativity. This shift in perspective is crucial for longevity and success in the entertainment industry.

Merrill emphasized the importance of building a strong foundation, not just in terms of skill but as a business that can sustain and grow your artistic endeavors. The end game, as Merrill put it, is not just being talented but being business-savvy. Actors, musicians, and models must learn to navigate the business side of their careers, understanding the value of their brand and how to leverage it for success.

The conversation also touched on the importance of making informed decisions and understanding the financial implications of various career moves. Merrill’s advice was golden for anyone in the industry, stressing the need for artists to be as diligent with their finances as they are with their art. This includes understanding credit scores, investment opportunities, and how to present oneself as a viable business opportunity to investors.
