Here’s what my clients are saying:
Dylan is the best! He helped me feel in control of my finances, something I've often struggled with as a freelancer. He's super knowledgeable, personable, and helped me feel less intimidated by saving and planning for the future.
Sarah Claspell

I first reached out to Dylan when I hid a Dyson air dryer from myself after purchasing it during a Sephora sale. I knew that my shopping habit was out of control and every day I would experience heavy emotions and deep stress around my personal finances, the debt I was accruing, and my future.
I honestly felt doomed.
As soon as I started meeting one-on-one with Dylan, I knew that there was a way out of the mess that I created. He never once judged me or the choices I had made in the past. Instead he was empathetic and practical. He helped me to understand my debt, build a budget, and gave me resources to begin to separate my own self-worth from my bank statements.
My biggest win in working with Dylan is that I no longer feel like my money is a representation of who I am as a human being. This outcome is by far worth every penny and moment that I have invested in doing this work.
Hillary Rea
Public Speaking Coach
Dylan guided me through multiple moves, launching a business, a job search, salary negotiations, debt management, and a ton more. Our work together helped me go from moving back in with my parents after getting laid off to being able to afford to live on my own for the first time. Most importantly, I learned to approach my finances with much more compassion, awareness, and resiliency.
If the thought of someone else looking at your finances makes you feel like you're going to puke, DO IT! Work with Dylan. It will feel so uncomfortable in the beginning, but you'll be met with so much compassion and understanding.
Andrea Reeves
Founder of Type C Creative
Maintaining my finances has become second nature - a normal part of my personal upkeep.
There are basic things you need in order to have a successful financial life and those basic things I absolutely did not have before working with Dylan.
I didn't have any idea of what I was spending money on, I wasn't saving, I had no emergency savings, I had no budget, I had no plans, the list goes on. I just knew when I had money in the bank and when I didn't.
I now have a grasp on my financial life. I know my budget, and I plan ahead with my calendar. I have a base now that I feel solid in. I also started saving regularly and feel much more autonomous and knowledgeable / calm about my financial situation.
I feel healthier, more in control and more autonomous. Definitely work with Dylan if you want to develop foundational tools that will continue to serve you over and over again.
Liz Fitzgerald

Dylan helped me take control of my finances. What could have been an embarrassing or vulnerable process was easy and fun.
Mark Rennie
Writer
Having a handle on personal finances feels like liberation.
I was holding on to a big pile of shame when we began working together but Dylan instantly disarmed it and helped me gently deconstruct my unhelpful and unhealthy stories about money that were embedded from childhood.
The work we did together helped me and my family drastically reduce our debt and save for a home. Beyond that, I now have a regular practice of financial planning, I’m no longer afraid to spend money and I know how to make better decisions about where my dollars go. Having a handle on personal finances feels like liberation.
Podge Thomas
Management and Leadership Coach
Dylan's financial coaching has been priceless to me. His encouragement helped me face the traditionally stressful idea of financial planning to steer me out of debt and into a new era of financial stability and savings.
Rob Michael Hugel
Actor / Editor
Dylan's program has helped me be way more mindful with my spending in a totally shameless way. He holds me accountable weekly and has made me aware of what I actually want my money to do for me. Even in my unreliable-income freelance career, I've finally been able to save for emergency funds and my future.
Amy
Actor
Hi! My name is Dylan and I understand how complicated it is to be a freelancer.
Learn how to control your money finally.
For years, I worked as a writer and performer in New York and Los Angeles. The pay was great when it came, but the inconsistency was frustrating and stressful.
However, being self-employed can totally allow you to live comfortably by building a safety net for lean times and putting the money you earn towards your most important goals.
I'd love to share my firsthand knowledge and help you develop a personalized financial roadmap that empowers you to navigate the unpredictability of self-employed life while securing a solid foundation for your future.
I have had the privilege of working with writers, actors, directors, mental health professionals, photographers, coaches, and journalists - people from different backgrounds but in similar positions:
They all want better control of their financial life.
You work hard for your money. Let's make your money work for you, so you can live the life you've always dreamed of.
