Today's REBEL is… all of us. In light of the political unrest of this week — from the Barcelona terrorist attacks to the hate rallies in the United States — Deane devotes today's episode to the discussion of whether it is wise to espouse your political beliefs with your art. What is the REBEL way when it comes to the "separation of church and state" in terms of your creative output? What's the smartest play and how might your choices, either way, impact your fan retention?Submit your artistic business questions to be potentially featured on a future REBEL CREATIVE episode by visiting http://rebelcreative.net and clicking the big "Start Recording" button on the page.
