Art Meets Strategy
There is a chasm between the creative mind and
the ones that hope to find the things they need.
An invention dies if it finds no mouths to feed.
So, heed the ones who navigait this space.

who teach the artists how to avoid disasters
And get the makers what they're ultimately after.
