Although there’s tension between business and art, entrepreneurs and artists have notable similarities: They take risks, try new things, and are continually growing. On this show, we talk about the highs and lows of creating new businesses, new products, and new art. We also talk about the practices that keep us in the game, helping us focus on the real work.
