On this week's episode of Eating While Broke, Coline welcomes actor, comedian, writer Slink Johnson to have an authentic convo about hustling hard when funds were tight in pursuit of an entertainment career.

Slink takes us back to humble days relying on bologna sandwiches just to eat while chasing big dreams with little money. He shares straight talk about the constant grind - from riding highs like signing a record deal to watching it disappointingly disappear...to working odd jobs and side hustles as responsibilities mounted as a new father.

Throughout the candid chat, Slink inspires with his resilience to stay true to his passion whenever he loses track. Despite setbacks that would break most, he persevered. Even now in a "financially impaired" state, he beams a positivity that connects with everyday go-getters determined to make it.

He and Coline discuss it all over Broke Bank Bologna Blasts!
