In this episode we talk through the pros and cons of being an artist on stage, off stage, and behind the scenes. This is complete blast of an episode where we get to talk on how Danny dropped out of high school and took the "risky" route of being a creative and artist. We also get to talk through the transition of the radio and show age into the digital age where there is a big change and challenge which pushes all of us to either go in more or to sink back and drown. Podcast host of " Dont Quit Your Day Job"We will have him back on and are looking forward to see what is happening during this pandemic as well as the light we can shine during this dark time.www.dannymccrum.comwww.poiemapdx.com@Poiemapdx--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/poiemapdx/support
