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.
In light of the Jacob Blake shooting, and several other atrocities since the murder of George Floyd, we’d also like to reshare the BLM resources for anyone looking to read, learn, or find places to donate.
