In this month’s episode of the Thriving Artist Podcast, host Daniel DiGriz and guest Arree Chung discuss what Arree learned from his first business venture, and what he improved in his second business, Storyteller Academy. “I’m an entrepreneur, I have ideas I want to make happen,” Arree says, “but as an entrepreneur, you ask your customer what their needs are, and build solutions and a business plan around that.” For those who struggle with identifying their market, or marketing effectively, this show’s a must-listen.
Educational and Programming Director Daniel DiGriz writes about the ways CHF produces return for its investors, and how the economy benefits from an “aesthetic renaissance.” “Philanthropic investors and visual artists are natural bedfellows,” he states.

Partners
The Salmagundi Club welcomes CHF’s Daniel DiGriz as a member of its New York City chapter. Daniel took an interest in the club when he interviewed Tim Newton for The Thriving Artist Podcast, and .png)
discovered his own quiet support of living and legacy artists and art collection were a “thing”. Salmagundi has served as a gathering place for artists and patrons of the arts since 1871, and the Clark Hulings Foundation is proud to partner with an organization that brings so much to the arts community.
