Hi Mister, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
The Art for Change Podcast serves as a vital platform for artists across all disciplines, providing a safe and supportive space for them to express their creative ideas and insights. Our discussions extend beyond artistry to encompass the business aspects of brand development and financial literacy, empowering our listeners with the knowledge they need to thrive. Additionally, we aim to raise awareness around pressing social issues and injustices. Our commitment to community engagement is evident through initiatives such as back-to-school activities and fundraising efforts. Looking ahead, we are excited to announce our plans to establish art scholarships to further support aspiring artists in our community.

What should our readers know about your business?
Art for Change Podcast is a dynamic live streaming platform dedicated to showcasing upcoming and aspiring artists across all artistic disciplines. We provide a unique opportunity for artists to engage in interviews that offer followers an intimate, behind-the-scenes experience with their favorite creators. Additionally, our platform serves as a space for artists to promote themselves, their brands, and showcase their artistry live.

One of the challenges we face is building our follower base and monetizing our efforts. We are actively working to overcome these obstacles through legitimacy, effective marketing, and strategic networking with other brands and affiliate partners.

Throughout this journey, we have learned invaluable lessons, transitioning from the mindset of “If you build it, they will come” to embracing the notion of “Trust the process” and allowing everything to unfold organically.
