Arts Entrepreneurship Podcast: Making Art Work

This week on the podcast is part one of our interview with Tom Gober. He’s the owner of Gracylane, a multi-store fashion and accessories retail chain in northeast Ohio, and recently launched a jewelry brand that focuses on sterling silver rings.  Tom has an interesting story because he didn’t start out on a typical path to become an arts entrepreneur—he studied chemical engineering and worked in that industry for many years before leaving corporate America to open his first store. If you're currently working in another industry and thinking of becoming an arts entrepreneur, Tom's story might just inspire you to take the leap!
