Entrepreneurship and Art is hosted by Carly Sheridan, George Howard, and Dan Servantes

George offers his gift of culinary wisdom around blue cheese dressing. If you’re looking for the more marketing and music-focused discussion, skip ahead to around the 38:00 minute mark, but don’t tell George. Dan, George, and Carly talk about how to involve fans in the creation process, the network effect of different platforms, and barriers to creation.
