FEATURED ENTREPRENEURS
ENTREPRENUER #1
Spencer McCreary
Founder of: Public Disco Porch
Trying to build the foundation of a band that champions the local scene for nothing but the betterment of one another. The songs sing of being a good neighbor, taking care of the land we stand on, and the water we drink. The only mission of Public Disco Porch is to redirect any light that falls onto the self, back onto the folks who are collaborating and doing the work for our hometown. We might be all we got, one another, so if music song is all I have to offer the world, how can I best utilize it as a tool.
Greatest Challenge:
Marketing everything but the self, in a self promotion fueled industry.
ENTREPRENUER #2
Mark Rhodes
