164: The Stigma of Being a Professional Artist w/ Jerry Bedor

Operative Glass Blower Jerry Bedor (MyDoods, Rust Belt Glass) joins the Fat Woke Boyz to discuss his hatred of the stigma of being a professional artist.  Jerry got in the game to make money, and his moves reflect that.  The trio discuss the perils of online promotion and the beast that you need to feed in order to be seen.  They also move into conspiracies, what happens when your friends become customers and what actually constitutes stealing as opposed to being inspired by something.  Jerry also talks about his studio catching fire, his time with The Melt Mob and of course, the substance that gets you demonetized but people still try to sell it on IG.  Learn more about the glass business than you ever thought you'd know from a veteran whose wares are everywhere.Producer - Chris PaughIntro Song - Paul WolfeOutro Song - The Shortlife - "Punch Drunk"
