I met Tara Gentile at Digital Commerce Summit in Denver last year, and her message around business design helped shape my (new) 10-year plan. So I'm thrilled to introduce her today as we talk about creativity and commerce.
In the introduction, I say hello from Auckland, New Zealand. I'm posting pics on
Instagram and on
The Creative Penn Facebook page if you'd like to follow along.
In publishing news,

This is great news as it will further encourage global growth of digital sales.
Today's show is sponsored by my latest ARKANE thriller, End of Days.
“When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison.” Revelation 20:7
In 2017, the thousand years are ended.
A marble tablet found in the ruins of Babylon warns of the resurrection of a banished serpent in the final days.

As the Brotherhood of the Serpent race to find the seals before a rare lunar eclipse over the heart of Jerusalem, ARKANE agents Morgan Sierra and Jake Timber battle to find them first.
