In this episode we’re merging money and spirituality with the amazingly talented financial coach and tattoo artist, Ryan Roi.

Ryan is a native New Yorker, and he is the owner and artist at Dukkha Tattoo studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. In his 12 years as a tattoo artist, Ryan has prioritized artistic excellence and personal/spiritual growth. The name of his tattoo studio comes from the Pali word for suffering, which is the language that the Buddha spoke. Although he does not consider himself a Buddhist or follow anyone's spiritual path, Ryan is greatly influenced by Buddhism and many other spiritual philosophies.

At the start of the Covid pandemic, Ryan started a financial coaching business for artists and freelancers, and that is what he is here to tell us about today. His views on money are holistic and include the practical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of managing money. Ryan views money as a flow of energy, and he seeks to find a balance between our relationship with the material and spiritual world.
