Bo’s newest book is Finish Big, a look at what happens when businesses are sold and a continuation of the ideas found in Small Giants. The two books emphasize the importance of finding a higher purpose beyond the bottom line in our business endeavors.

I brought Bo on the show to talk about how his ideas relate to creative people who are pursuing careers in film, music, and the arts.

We also discuss the PR problem that business faces and ways that creatives can help. Plus, Bo offers some suggestions to creatives who plan to approach others for funding.
