A labor strike of any kind brings tremendous concerns about income. As the Writers Guild of  America nee WGA is in an ongoing dispute with the AMPTP, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, with SAG-AFTRA requesting a strike authorization,  Tiwana Floyd is reminded of her first experience overcoming the adverse impact of the 2007 writers' strike, 2008 SAG stalemate the great recession of 2007-2009.

She shares the non-traditional route she took towards becoming solvent and lowering her overhead becoming more frugal and resourceful and more mindful of her spending habits. While reminding her listeners that life after a strike can be challenging, but getting back on track isn't impossible.

It was difficult to adjust to the changes that were implemented but she managed to find ways to cope. The strike affected her finances, and she had to make some sacrifices to make ends meet.

When it comes to representation, actors are continually searching for the right fit. Finding an ideal partner in an agent or manager takes time. Time that many actors are not willing to endure, and thus, they sign with reps who weren't a good fit from the start.

In this episode, Tiwana shares the red flags that caused her to Respectfully Decline two separate offers from managers at the same company. 

Evidence of an ill-matching agent is never blatant, but it leaves signs.
