In this episode, Justin Colletti tackles an unlikely topic for a channel that's all about music and audio production and business: Investing. In this episode, you'll get some evidence-based best practices for managing your surplus so that you can weather lean times in a creative field, more confidently make the leap to working for yourself full time, or even just support an expensive calling in the arts.
