In this episode we have Sunny as a guest! We chat about the constant pull to monetize art. After leaving the industry and not seeking art as career, the siren call to make money from art can ruin the joy of it.

The podcast is back! Hosted by Olga Herrera. Let's chat again! There will be thoughtful and insightful conversations with guest artists, and think out-loud wonderings with Olga.

Our journey here is coming to an end. We've loved every minute we have gotten to chit-chat on this platform. We'd like to thank all of our past and future listeners for tagging along. We wish you much success and inspiration in your art journey.

Thanks for listening.
