Sebastian Pobots Anfänge in der Musikindustrie bis hin zu Lizenzeinnahmen Sebastian Pobot begann seine Karriere als Musikproduzent und Komponist Mitte der 90er Jahre. Neben zahlreichen Auszeichnungen für seine Soundtrack-Beiträge, wie zB einer „Silbernen Palme in Cannes“ und dem „Bayerischen Filmpreis“, bekam er für seine Songwriter Tätigkeiten goldene CDs im In- & Ausland, eine Echonominierung, die „Goldene Stimmgabel“, „RSH Gold“ und weitere Auszeichnungen. Nach dieser kreativen Phase, wechselte er ins Unternehmer Lager und war dabei nicht minder kreativ. Er entdeckte das breite Feld der Copyrights und Lizenzen. Ursprünglich initiiert von einer Geschenkidee, stellte er fest, dass für einige vergriffene Hörspiel-Titel auf eBay teils horrende Summen bezahlt werden mussten. Inspiriert davon folgte eine offizielle Lizenzanfrage beim WDR für den Kulttitel aus den 70er Jahren von Henning Venske „Als die Autos rückwärts fuhren“. Nach einer langen Recherche- und Detektivarbeit, die für das Rechte-Clearing notwendig war, folgte eine überraschend erfolgreiche Veröffentlichung - erfolgreich genug, um diese Idee zu skalieren. Für seine Recherchefähigkeiten und das Gespür für die richtigen Titel wurde ihm der Deutsche Hörspielpreis „Ohrkanus“ verliehen. Es folgten Lizenzierungen und zahlreiche VÖs in Kooperation mit bekannten Brands wie „Captain Future“, „Batman“, „Sherlock Holmes“ oder „Star Trek“, und die damit notwendig gewordene Gründung seiner ersten GmbH „Highscore Music GmbH“. Lizenzeinnahmen: Übernahme um mehr Marktanteile zu besitzen Als die Firma regelmäßig Erfolge feiern konnte, kaufte Pobot das bekannte Hörspiel-Label „Maritim Verlag“, dessen Releases ihn schon als Kind begeisterten. Durch weitere Zukäufe, seine eigenen Inhalte, die Hörspiele von Maritim und klug gewählte Kooperationen, entstand der größte Hörspielkatalog. Er umfasst über 5000 Katalogtitel mit einer sechsstelligen Einzeltrack-Anzahl, die beim Streaming der entscheidende Faktor ist. Maritim war der allererste Katalog, der seine kompletten Inhalte für das damals noch sehr unbekannte Medium „Streaming“ öffnete. Anfangs belächelt von der Konkurrenz besitzt Maritim inzwischen einen kaum einholbaren Vorsprung und besetzt so nach wie vor meist einen Großteil der Startseiten mit seinen new releases! Lizenzeinnahmen machen es möglich Pobots Arbeitsweise unterscheidet sich bewusst von denen der Major-Plattenfirmen. Flache Strukturen ermöglichen eine größtmögliche Wendigkeit. Entscheidungen werden auf eigenes Risiko hin gefällt, man versteckt sich nicht hinter Gremien. Bootstrapping ist das Motto – Pobot arbeitet grundsätzlich ohne Investorengelder, um „keinen Druck zu haben und sich nicht ständig rechtfertigen zu müssen“. Im Nachhinein erwies sich als elementarer Vorteil, dass der Maritim-Verlag durch die Übernahme einen kompletten Neustart erhielt. Somit musste man, im Gegensatz zu alteingesessenen Konkurrenten, den alten „Ballast“ nicht mit sich tragen wie zB ein großes physikalisches Lager, Festanstellungen und große Büroräumlichkeiten. „Das einst so angestaubte Verlagswesen, erhielt plötzlich einen frischen Start-Up Glow Up“. Dazu gehörte auch, dass von Anfang an auf die damals neu aufgekommenen Vertriebswege Download und Stream gesetzt wurde. Ab da wurde Sebastian Pobot häufig als Berater angefragt, um dieses Prinzip auch bei anderen Labels anzuwenden und deren alteingesessene Strukturen zu digitalisieren. So lag der Entschluss nahe, eine Holding zu gründen und seine Erfahrung gegen Firmenbeteiligungen einzutauschen. Lizenzeinnahmen und Beteiligungen Die Silberscore Beteiligungsgesellschaft mit Sitz in Tirol hält inzwischen mehr als ein Dutzend Beteiligungen wie zB den Softwareentwickler „Affect“, zahlreiche Musikverlage, aber auch Content-Zulieferer wie die Hamburger Firma „All Ears GmbH“, den schwedischen Produzenten „Audio Quants AB“, das Berliner IndieLabel „Staatsakt Rec. GmbH“ und das Kölner Comedy Kultlabel „WortArt“. Beim Marketing wurde ebenfalls von Anfang an digital gedacht: Social Media statt Print, Playlisten, Startseiten und Instore Marketing statt konventioneller Werbung. Wegen dieser Faktoren vermutlich erweist sich Maritim als Fels in der Brandung. In der Rückschau wurde sichtbar, dass Maritim während der Pandemie den gleichen Effekt verbuchen konnte, wie auch Netflix oder andere Streaming-Anbieter. Auch hier führte das Unterhaltungsbedürfnis aller zwangsläufig Daheimgebliebenen zu zweistellig prozentualen Zuwächsen. Erwähnung sollte vor diesem Hintergrund auch der Youtube Kanal von Maritim finden, der derzeit fast 120.000 Follower hat. Auch hier weicht Pobot von der üblichen Kultur und Vorgehensweise großer Verlage ab, indem er Inhalte jeden Samstag Abend kostenlos zur Verfügung stellt. Während man im „Apple Store“ eher eine zahlungskräftigere Zielgruppe erreicht und über Portale wie „Spotify“ die breite Masse, so fokussiert man sich über die kostenlosen Angebote auf Youtube bewusst auch auf die Discounter-Fans.

The results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP, were released yesterday, September 1st, prompting a New York Times headline that read “The Pandemic Erased Two Decades of Progress in Math and Reading”, the 74 headline added “Two Decades of Growth WIPED OUT by Two years of Pandemic”. Peter Greene, an education policy watcher, called it NAEP Pearl Clutching Day. I myself had tweeted out “With the release of pandemic NAEP scores, we're about to have the worst cycle of education discourse imaginable”, and man did that ring true. Everyone was running to their corners to abolish teacher's unions, attack remote & hybrid learning and mask mandates - just relitigating every pandemic issue imaginable - and the results brought out the usual resident experts in everything, like Matt Yglesias, who called the scores “A Short-term L for the left that was more supportive of closure”.While everyone online is jumping to conclusions, we thought it would be important to help provide some context, to step back and take inventory of the data, claims, headlines, and provide context and forecast next steps: what, if anything, could or should we do in response to this report? So I reached out to author and educator John Warner, whose intuition I tend to trust on this kind of thing. John is the author of several books, Why They Can't Write, The Writer's Practice and Sustainable. Resilient. Free.: The Future of Public Higher Education, released in 2020. Thanks John for taking the time to talk with me today. Let's start with what the NAEP results say and what they mean, and then we'll compare that to the headlines. So what do the results say and what should we make of them? Why does the framing matter? What context is missing? How could we meaningfully report on these results? What's missing in the discourse?GUESTJohn Warner, author of Why They Can't Write, The Writer's Practice, and Sustainable. Resilient. Free: The Future of Public Higher Education.

This episode of Flashback Friday was initially published: 9/17/2012 Jason Hartman welcomes guest co-host/listener, Brandon, from Portland, Oregon, as they discuss several things. First, a discussion of some of Jason's recent book consumption, including; Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler and Free: The Future of a Radical Price by Chris Anderson. Next, Jason and Brandon analyze Peter Schiff's most recent video criticizing Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and QE3 (Quantitative Easing). Peter has some things right and others wrong. As Jason has pointed out in so many prior episodes, gold and silver are mediocre asset classes and shouldn't be considered 'investments' but somewhat defensive ways to save money, store wealth and keep pace with inflation.  An investment is an OFFENSIVE tool; gold and silver are only defensive tools. The real way to profit is to exploit the next housing bubble. Some of the questions covered in this episode are:  Abundance - Peter H. Diamandis & Steven Kotler 1. In what ways is the world getting better? It sure seems like there is a lot of negativity out there. 2. How will technology provide "top-tier" education to everyone on the planet, as Diamandis & Kotler mention in the book? Free - Chris Anderson 1. Chris Anderson mentions that some things can be too cheap to meter. What sort of goods is he referencing, and what is the cause of this innovation? 2. How will the big companies like Microsoft compete with the free model? 3. Who wins with "free" - businesses or consumers? 4. Will we ever get to the point where almost everything in our lives is free? Peter Schiff on QE3 1. Is the goal of QE3 to drive up asset prices? It seems to me that asset price increase in housing will only cause the illusion of wealth. 2. Why would QE3 work this time if it didn't work before?

How To Tell Better Podcast Stories – Episode 169   Do you want to create better podcast stories? Start with the end in mind. Then, start with the end.   Start with the end? It sounds crazy, I know. Let me explain.   Stories do great things for your podcast and business.   When you tell stories, your audience gets to know details about you and your life. That's how friendships are born. Your listeners discover you have things in common. They realize you have been through similar struggles. Maybe you're from the same area or visited a common destination.   After multiple stories, listeners begin to feel like they know you. That is when the magic happens.   Stories help you build trust. And as it is with all business, people do business with those they know, like and trust. People don't do business with companies. They do business with people. Trust is the essence of relationships and business.   CHARACTER   Stories define your character   I'm not simply talking about your integrity. By character, I mean all of the attributes that create you, as in character in a play.   The purpose of your show is to attract an audience. Whether you want to monetize that relationship, encourage a call-to-action, or simply create an following for your ideas, creating the audience is where you begin.   The stories you choose to tell reveal how open you are to others. Your openness is a sign of trust. Trust is a big piece of a relationship. Reveal things about yourself through your stories, and you'll begin to build trust with your listener.   The details you include tell your listener what you value. If the listener feels you value things they too value, you solidify the relationship. People like to hang out with similar people. If your values are opposite of your listener, you may also attract them. It is like a love/hate relationship. They may dislike it, but they continue to listen. This often happens when talking politics.   What you find entertaining will be evident by the stories you tell. Since people like other people who have similar tastes, revealing those things you find entertaining will also build the relationship.   Stories also have the power to demonstrate your vulnerability. Stories can show that you are a real person. Your listener will see you as approachable. They also may begin to see you as a friend. That is when true relationships begin to form.   Next time you watch a late night talk show, notice how the great, memorable interviews contain great stories. Interviews that focus on facts and information rarely cut through. Those guests come off more as a lecturer than as a friend. The guests that tell stories appear more personal, warm and friendly. Their stories reveal things and help you feel like you know them personally. Take note next time you watch.   Foster a relationship with your listener by revealing things about yourself through stories. Stories will define your character.   MY STORIES WERE HORRIBLE   In the past, my stories were horrible. I struggled to hold the attention of people while I was telling a story. I couldn't figure out why they would fade half way through the tale.   One day, in a coaching session with my radio coach, it hit me. The person listening had no idea where I was going.   The stories I was telling sounded like ramblings with no real purpose or destination.   My coach basically told me to open with the punchline. I thought he was crazy. If people knew the punchline, why listen to the story. That made no sense.   He explained that opening with the point of the story was similar to telling your passenger where you are going on your journey. Nobody wants to sit next to you in a car wondering where they are going to end up and when they are going to get there. They want to enjoy the journey.   I began opening my tales with the point of the story. Right up front, I revealed the whole purpose of the story. My opening began serving as a bit of a headline.   "I can't figure out why people can't signal their turn before they are actually in the turn lane."   "My dog got sick and had my up 4 times last night."   "If you want more traffic, you need to be more traffic for others first."   Opening with an intriguing introduction will also provide a framework for the story. You will know exactly where you are going and what details are necessary to get there. This helps shorten your story while including only the important parts.   In addition to the intriguing introduction, there are three other elements to great stories. After you open with the intriguing introduction, provide wonderful, vivid details while telling the story. Close with a powerful conclusion. Ask yourself, "What's next?"   THEATER OF THE MIND   Create theater of the mind by using vivid details.   The use of active language will stir the imagination of your listener and help you connect to your audience. Put the listener in the moment. Make the listener see the action you are describing.   "I'm walking in the bustling restaurant and shaking off the cold without even watching where I'm walking." That is active language. In your mind, you can see me walking in.   Sure, your restaurant may be different from my restaurant. That difference is what makes theater of the mind great. You see it the way you think it fits best for you. Your scene doesn't need to match my scene in order for the story to make sense. It is your theater.   Active language connects each listener to the story in his or her own way. It will create strong audience engagement. Active language during storytelling is a powerful tool you can use while you're building your podcast.   Create a great podcast brand. Create theater of the mind.   THE FIRST EXIT   Take the first exit.   When you are discussing a topic, take the first opportunity to get out of the bit or interview question. You will keep your audience engaged. You will maintain the momentum of the show. You will also avoid repeating yourself and becoming boring. Take the first exit.   There are clues in your show that let you know you've missed the opportunity to end the bit. When you find yourself saying things like "as I said", "like I was saying", or "as we've discussed", you have missed your exit. Those phrases are simply additional ways to say, "let me repeat this again". Once you have reached that point, you are stating your introduction point again. This should be your conclusion. Move on to the next discussion.   If you miss the exit, you begin retracing your steps. You begin offering information you've already provided. You listener then begins thinking of other things, because they have heard this part before. I got it. Let's move on.   Only you will know when you've offered enough information to make your point. Once you hit that point, keep the show moving. Get to the next topic. Keep your audience engaged. Take the first exit.   Conclude your story by simply reframing your intriguing introduction.   ASK "WHAT'S NEXT?"   Include a call to action.   If you want to make money with your podcast, you must include a call to action. It seems logical. However, many podcasters believe, "If I build it, they will come." It simply doesn't happen that way.   Odd as it may sound, your podcast probably isn't your product. Unless you are charging for your podcast, your show is only the marketing vehicle for some other product. Most podcasts are free. The show itself isn't generating revenue. You need to create another product you can sell.   In his book "Free: The Future of a Radical Price", Chris Anderson lists many ways to create revenue using the power of free. Many of these can be used to generate revenue from your podcast.   [EPISODE 167 – HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH A PODCAST THAT IS FREE]   Some think access to the audience can be sold to advertisers as if it were traditional broadcasting. Unfortunately, audiences are not typically large enough for this model. Listeners also do not expect the traditional twelve minutes of commercials within their favorite podcast hour. Advertising is a very difficult path to revenue.   To generate revenue with your podcast, you need to create something else to sell.   You could make money by making your podcast a small portion of a larger show, which is available to paid members only. The free podcast becomes marketing for the member content.   You could turn your knowledge of some "how to" subject into a book, e-book, study course or other product. Your podcast could be the "why" behind your philosophy. The show would then promote the "how" that your listener will learn when they purchase the product.   There are many other ideas described in Anderson's book. You could give away the product while charging for the service, such as consulting or coaching. Give away the content while making money referring people to retailers.   Rather than traditional advertising, you could give away the content while charging advertisers to be featured in it, similar to The Home Shopping Network. You could even take a cut of sales. You could podcast generic advice while selling specific, customized advice.   There are fifty ideas in the book. To make money with your podcast, I suggest you give the book (or at least that section) a read.   Free: The Future of a Radical Price   If you build it, they may come. However, that doesn't necessarily mean you will become instantly wealthy. You need to create something to sell. You need to tell your listener to buy. Then, you need to show them the way. If you desire to make money with your podcast, make sure your podcast includes the call to action.     Build trust with your audience by telling great stories. Start at the end. Create great theater of the mind. Use a powerful conclusion. Then, give them something to do when it is over. Implement a strong call-to-action.   Do you need help with your podcast?

How You Can Make Money With A Podcast That Is Free – Episode 167   One of the most popular and controversial questions in our industry is, “How do I make money with a podcast?”   The question is popular, because many podcasters hope to monetize their content. That desire ranges from simply covering the costs associated with producing the show to making more than an average annual salary each month.   Earning money with an online business is a desire of many budding entrepreneurs. Podcasting is a great way to begin sharing your message.   The controversy arises between those who want to make money and those who see it as a hobby where profit is unnecessary. The fans of the hobbiest approach often wonder why people think it is so important to make money with your show.   Making money isn't necessary. It also isn't evil.   Both sides of the debate can be correct. It is all about your point of view.   THE POWER OF “FREE”   Today, we are taking the monetization route.   Much of the information I want to share with you on this episode is derived from a great book called “Free: The Future of a Radical Price” by Chris Anderson.   If you would like to purchase the book, I would truly appreciate it if you would find it through this affiliate link. It is a great read.     You have worked hard to develop some great content. The show is beginning to attract an audience. How can we turn this great podcast into a business?   First, let's make one thing clear. As you develop your podcast, understand that it is difficult to have the show itself be your sole source of revenue. Sponsorships and donations can only take you so far. Your inventory and sources will be limited.   Making your podcast your lone revenue source is possible. However, it is limited to the biggest of the big podcasts. Most podcasters needs another revenue stream.   How do we create other streams of income using our podcast?   STREAMS OF INCOME   We need to be creative. Once we start creating some unique ideas, you will see many others begin to open for you.   In this episode, we are going to devise various opportunities to generate revenue using your free podcast. Each of these ideas uses a different approach. You can tailor each approach to your niche and passion.   The foundation of the book “Free: The Future of a Radical Price” centers on using a free product or service to create demand for a paid product or service. The concept is similar to the lead magnets you see quite often in online business.   You are producing a podcast that is free for your listeners. How can we use that free product to create demand for a paid product or service?   We are not going to cover all of the ideas in Anderson's book. There are 50 different business models. We will only review part of one section. You can find all of the ideas in the book using the link.     Section one is called “Free 1: Direct Cross-Subsidies - Any product that entices you to pay for something else.”   This secion will give us a few business models to discuss. These should give you a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing.   BUSINESS MODELS   1. Give away services, sell products Book example: Apple Store Genius Bar tech support Podcast example: Your podcast explains how to set up and use products and then sells those products online Podcast example: Your podcast provides content and information, sell books, CDs and DVDs about that information   2. Give away products, sell services Book example: Free gifts when you open a bank account Podcast example: Giveaway e-books, sell individual coaching Podcast example: Giveaway podcast info, sell webinars and seminars   3. Give away software, sell hardware Book example: IBM and HP Linux offerings. Podcast example: Podcast explains how to use the software and provides free downloads, sell hardware to use that software Podcast example: Podcast explains how to plant a garden/get a better shave/paint, sell the supplies   4. Free with purchase Book example: The loss leaders you see at many retails stores. Podcast example: Free podcast, bonus audio subscription with purchase Podcast example: Partial inteview in podcast, collection of interviews free with purchase of book/course   5. Buy one, get one free Book example: The supermarket specials Podcast example: Free podcast on a related subject with purchase of subscription to site Podcast example: Two tickets/courses/memberships for the price of one (it's all info)   6. Free gift inside Book example: Cereal boxes Podcast example: Podcast directs listeners to free download each episode, which puts listener on a mailing list that can be monetized over time Podcast example: Podcast listeners use code to access bonus information inside of a membership site   7. Free samples Book example: Everything from gift boxes for new mothers to supermarket samples Podcast example: Podcast is a portion of a larger recording for sale Podcast example: Giveaway a free chapter of the book with code word/url included in the podcast   8. Free trials Book example: Magazine subscriptions Podcast example: Podcast is a smaller portion of a membership or course Podcast example: Podcast highlights the “what” and directs listeners to the “how” on the website or inside of a product   Those are 8 of the ideas in this first section. You can actually get 16 ideas in the direct cross-subsidies section alone. There are 50 business models built on free in the appendix of the book. It is well worth the time.   Free 2: Three-party markets - A third party pays to participate in a market created by a free exchange between the first two parties   Free 3: Freemium - Anything that is matched with a Premium Paid Version   Free 4: Non-monetary markets – like Wikipedia and Freecycle.   Find my affiliate link to the book here:     I would love to know how you are using the power of free to drive your business.

In this episode we have a round-table discussion, with members from the NYC-based Interdependence Project, on issues surrounding 21st century dharma in the West. Both Buddhist Geeks and the Interdependence Project tend to attract younger practitioners in their 20s & 30s. So, in this dialogue, where the oldest of us is 31, we take on some interesting questions about how Dharma is changing in the West, what challenges we face in the future, the economics of dharma, and the implications of a generation who are so interconnected with technology and culture. Listen in to hear a genuine conversation between young practitioners who are trying to find their way as Buddhist practitioners in the 21st century.

3D-Festival BEYOND 2013 | Symposium Thu, October 3 − Sun, October 6, 2013 »Future of 3D«

Jason Hartman welcomes guest co-host/listener, Brandon, from Portland, Oregon as they discuss several things.  First, a discussion of some of Jason's recent book consumption including; Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler and Free: The Future of a Radical Price by Chris Anderson.Next, Jason and Brandon analyze Peter Schiff's most recent video criticizing Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and QE3 (Quantitative Easing).  Peter has some things right and others wrong.  As Jason has pointed out in so many prior episodes gold and silver are mediocre asset classes and shouldn't really be considered 'investments' but rather defensive ways to save money, a way to store wealth and keep pace with inflation.  An investment is an OFFENSIVE tool, gold and silver are only defensive tools. The real way to profit is to exploit the next housing bubble.

WIRED's head nerd Chris Anderson! He also wrote the wonderful books "The Long Tail" and "Free: The Future of a Radical Price". Mr. Anderson--as the Matrix would have to refer to him--is a super-smart, thoughtful human and I always love chatting with him. What topics can you expect from this episode? Trolls! Social politics! The economy of attention! How to write a book! And the ever-raging debate: NERDS v GEEKS. Please to enjoy.

“Give a product away, and it can go viral. Charge a single cent for it and you're in an entirely different business… ‘Free' has the power to create a consumer stampede.” – Chris Anderson, Free: The Future of a Radical Price A few weeks ago I announced that Bard Press – America's most successful publisher of non-fiction books – had decided to give away 20,000 advance-reading copies of The Full Plate Diet.  Here's how that experiment turned out: 5,279 of you requested a free book during the first 6 days. After those books began to arrive, we saw a second surge of requests that continued to build until finally, just before Ray pulled the plug on the computer, he was receiving more than 200 orders per minute. Yes, I said “per minute.” The term “going viral” refers to that moment when word-of-mouth reaches critical mass and begins to grow exponentially. New Experiment: You liked the $20 freebie. So today we're doing a $50 freebie. Keep reading. Last month, NASA learned their original copy of the moon landing video was nowhere to be found. Perhaps you heard about it. This historic footage was recovered when NASA scrounged four badly degraded, barely viewable copies from around the world, then painfully stacked, merged and recompiled them to recreate the video. At the time of this writing – 3 weeks into the project – $230,000 has been spent and only 40 percent of the work has been done. You thought magnetic tape lasted longer than that? Evidently, so did NASA. Now for the Bad News: The DVDs you and I burn have a shorter lifespan than videotape. Homemade DVDs last only 6 to 8 years. And the faster your burning speed, the shorter the life of your DVD. “Six to eight years? That can't be true. I bought a Dances With Wolves DVD back in 1996 and it still plays fine.” Mass-duplicated DVDs are made using an entirely different process known as “glass mastering” that's viable only when making a large number of copies. Oh, you bought a “gold” DVD so you think your photographs, videos, important documents and creative work are safe? UPDATE: When the information on DVDs began to disappear, we assumed the reflective backing was becoming tarnished so “gold” DVDs were introduced because gold doesn't tarnish. But these gold DVDs are degrading just as fast as the silver ones.  The tarnishing of the reflective surface was only a small problem. The big problem is the fading of the laser-sensitive ink in the sandwich layer between the clear plastic and the reflective surface. Remember when fax machines used rolls of thermal fax paper and the faxes they made would fade after a year or two? Same problem. Photographs, videos, important documents and creative work should all be carved in stone. I mean that literally, by the way, not metaphorically. A Cranberry disc is a DVD made of high-tech, man-made stone and the data carved on a Cranberry will likely last longer than the pyramids. No ink layer. No fading. Problem solved. David McInnis is a wild-eyed entrepreneur and a good friend. And he's going to give you a $50 Cranberry if you want it. http://www.cranberry.com/mmm.php (Do you want it?) I'll give you the results of today's experiment in a couple of weeks. Roy H. Williams

Chris Anderson is editor-in-chief of WIRED and is also the author of Free: The Future of a Radical Price which explores how the price for delivering content is trending towards zero. We'll talk about the repercussions that's having on the creative industry and those whose job it is to create thoughts.
