In college, I started out studying economics. I found it incredibly boring and quickly discovered that I hated it. On a whim, I took an art class and loved it. I reinvented myself as an artist. As many of us discover, we actually have to make a living after college! So I combined my artistic goals with economic ones. In my fifties, the money I was making from ideas I had licensed started drying up, so I remade myself as a small-business entrepreneur in the music accessories industry. At the same time, I decided to become a mentor and created an educational program about licensing.
