The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Be Better.
This week brings an improved version of an illustration, created especially to fund and support my new program All Aussie Artists. My radio show - broadcast every Tuesday night from 6pm to 8pm on Kangaroo Island’s 5KIxFM90.7 Community Radio Station - is all about giving homegrown musicians a proper spotlight, and building a playlist that...
