Today we are diving into the controversial combination of Art and Business! We talk with our friend Fahad, who founded and runs his own music publishing company, about how he finds success in both his creative and business endeavors without compromising each. We also talk about Nirvana,, Beyonce, and Kendrick Lamar, the Japanese principle of ikagai, and the importance of having good taste (which we have, ofc). Check out our YouTube Channel The Art Take for our post-episode discussion of this episode. We publish art related videos on that channel and will be moving our Art Rec discussion there as well. We love talking about art with each other and our friends and guests and want to create more opportunities to hear your Art Takes so stay tuned for more announcements on that.  Links to Fahad's website and company are below with our normal contact info: Fahad Siadat, DMA, composer/performer www.fahadsiadat.com See-A-Dot Music Publishing, inc. www.seeadot.com  Post-Episode Discussion "The Myth of the Shameless Plug": https://youtu.be/DzXusxRfKiA "Conference of the birds" -written by Fahad Siadat, performed by Laude "Hymn To Aethon"- Written by Fahad Siadat, performed by C4 "Courage"- Written by Keith Penney for Karate Mountain ig: @thearttake / @peteagphoto / @chrisnicpics email: thearttake@gmail.com website: www.thearttake.podbean.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-JVjENe70UceAaUPYvj8Gw
