This week’s interview is a super fun one! There is something in this episode for everyone. What do the Grateful Dead, high tech 1980’s, the advent of drones and psychedelic artwork have in common? Ted Bahr!

You’ll learn what it was like to be in the middle of the crazy, high tech world of magazine publishing at its explosion in the 1980’s.  Plus, Ted’s journey from a prestigious media executive with a wife, 3 kids and a big mortgage who went for broke to become an entrepreneur for the first time in his 40’s. At the height of the recession, Ted put all his chips on the table again with one of the first trade shows all about world of commercial drones.

Today, Ted is living his childhood dream with the coolest second act in the world—as a gallery owner, collector and exhibitor of rare 60’s rock vintage posters and artwork.
