After the Storm: Hannah Cole on Surviving Asheville’s Floods and Supporting Creatives in Crisis

Margo is joined by friend of the pod, Asheville, NC resident, artist and tax expert Hannah Cole to bring a powerful story of survival, community, and the unwavering support for artists affected by recent devastating floods in Asheville. Together they explore the harrowing events that led to severe flooding, destroying homes, businesses, and cherished creative spaces. They also touch on the importance of financial strategies, particularly for creatives, with insights from Hannah at and how her expertise has been a beacon of hope for many small business owners navigating the treacherous waters of disaster recovery (and those outside of the flood zone).

Margo and Hannah discuss:

  • What it was like to experience Hurricane Helene first hand
  • Support efforts and challenges post hurricane
  • The loss of Hannah’s art studio in Asheville
  • Campaigns and efforts to support those in and around Western North Carolina
  • The need for increased grant funding in the River Arts District
  • Managing tax liabilities and leveraging deductions.
  • “1% for Asheville” support grants
  • Hannah’s offering, Money Boot Camp for creatives and how she makes financial education non-intimidating.
