Episode 16: Crisis Needs Artists

Hello Creative Friends,   Anyone here question their purpose during times of crisis? When the world is on fire, does what we make matter? In this episode I use a handful of stories to make a case for Artists during crisis. Not only do we need them... but they are imperative to moving forward.     SUPPORT THE PODCAST We have been overwhelmed with wonderful messages from you all about the future of this relatively new baby podcast.
