This is special episode of the Art Biz Podcast. No music. No promotions. Just me and the microphone. Last week I received an email from a listener, who wrote: I am a fan of your podcast. I think it can serve as a wonderful tool for artists to learn how to grow and get inspired. With that said, I was wondering if you are planning on making an episode pertaining to Black lives, Black artists, and using art for activism. I havent heard anything yet from you about this human rights issue. As ...
