Key Takeaways
“If you enjoy what you do everyday, you are in a lucky space so make the most out of it!”

- David says there is no reason not to think about making money with your art. Our goal should be making money by doing what we love
- David advises that you should learn about pricing, negotiation, and operations while you are learning artistic fundamentals. They go hand in hand.
