Taking a full-scale theatre tour on the road without adequate financial planning
BWM: Your best financial tip?
MS: From my Mentor Sir Campbell Fraser: ‘Watch the cash, laddie!”
BWM: What does ‘wealth’ mean to you?
MS: I like Roger Hamilton’s definition: what you would have left if all your cash vanished – your knowledge, reputation and personal network
BWM: What is your retirement going to look like?
MS: I will never retire – will be speaking professionally or otherwise performing until I drop!
