    GfB Episode 42 - Musician Patrick Artigues

    GfB Episode 42 - Musician Patrick Artigues Patrick Artigues joins the Good For Business podcast to share his winding journey from a sports-centered childhood in McComb, Mississippi, to becoming an indie rock artist, bartender, and former professional clown. Patrick talks about discovering music through early piano lessons, falling in love with guitar at 13, and cutting his teeth playing in church and small-town venues. Host Colin Krieger sets the stage with stories about family, work, and why so many adults ask young people what they want to be when they grow up—because they’re looking for ideas themselves. From there, Patrick walks us through his time in New York City: studying at a music and acting conservatory, working as a doorman near the Plaza Hotel, helping run the Queens World Film Festival, and surviving the chaos of COVID as it shut down the arts overnight. He shares wild and hilarious stories from his side gig at Clowns.com, driving all over the tri-state area to entertain kids in penthouses and homeless shelters alike, and the lessons he learned about people, hustle, and resilience along the way. Ultimately, the pandemic pushed him back home, through construction and HVAC work, and eventually to Starkville, where he rebuilt his life around music. Patrick also digs into the business of being an independent musician—working with producers in New York to record his EP, hiring studio players, navigating PROs and royalties, launching an LLC with his brothers, and learning why artists should stop playing for free. Colin and Patrick trade stories about the realities of touring, streaming economics, social media, AI’s role in music, and what it really takes to build a sustainable creative career from Mississippi. If you care about music, small-town creativity, and the grind behind the art, this episode is for you.

    GfB Episode 41 - Chris Jenkins of the W!

    GfB Episode 41 - Chris Jenkins of the W! Chris Jenkins has spent more than three decades as the visual heartbeat of the Mississippi University for Women, and in this episode we dive into the story behind the lens. From his Columbus roots and early retail gigs to landing a job at “The W” just months after finishing his electronics degree, Chris shares how a volunteer radio show and a tornado-damaged campus accidentally launched his career in video and photography. We talk about college radio in its glory days, hanging out with bands long before they were legends, and how documenting everything from sports to symphonies turned into a 30+ year journey serving one university community. Chris opens up about learning photography on the fly, the mentors who shaped him, and the unforgettable concerts and campus events he’s captured over the years. Chris also reflects on how technology has transformed his craft—from 3.2 megapixel cameras to modern Sony mirrorless gear—plus the realities of trying to make a living as a creative in an oversaturated market. He shares stories about his family, his grandkids, his vet-tech photographer wife, and his plans to hit 40 years at The W before retiring. If you love music, photography, or small-town stories with big heart, this one’s for you.
