The actress Busy Philipps is known for hit shows like NBC\u2019s \u201cFreaks and Geeks,\u201d the WB\u2019s \u201cDawson\u2019s Creek,\u201d and ABC\u2019s \u201cCougar Town.\u201d She is also a writer and a social media personality with\xa02 million\xa0followers on Instagram.

I caught up with Philipps on her media tour with brand partner HotelTonight. (Philipps and HotelTonight ran a contest\xa0to give five \u201cplanners\u201d last-minute spontaneous getaways.) And during our conversation, she mentioned yet another role. It\u2019s one that isn\u2019t as public-facing, but it is just as notable: fierce negotiator.

In our quick convo, she opens up about her financial upbringing, the financial freedoms that come with having a popular social media platform, and the time she walked away from what would become a successful TV series \u2026 with no regrets.
