from 2021-06-01T16:30
Catherine Ricafort and Scott McCreary are artists who have seen the top of their fields. And when they did, they saw how difficult of a life it was — even for the best of the best.
So they made a change. And that change lead them to help others make similar changes.
Catherine and Scott founded Artists Who Code — a volunteer-run organization whose mission is to empower artists through tech, and advance tech through artistry.
They are a wife and husband team who first met as a-cappella competitors on NBC's The Sing-Off.
The work that they are doing is so in-line with the Meaning Movement. They're doing anything they can to help artists make the big and often overwhelming transition to tech.
It was a blast to dialogue with them. They're kind, open, and very thoughtful about all things work, art, and meaning related.
In this episode you'll learn:
- What Catherine and Scott do
