DuMarkus Davis: Making Quality Music Education, Sustainable Incomes Accessible
DuMarkus: I’m very glad to be here, Spiffy! Presently, if you’re a musician and attend a music school, you get one-on-one lessons with a top instructor, varying performance opportunities, and you get teaching opportunities. Despite that, 99% of music school graduates will graduate with no job prospects and will teach and/or take a part-time job to make ends meet. At Musicbuk, we are building an ecosystem of the world's greatest musicians that empowers these musicians to monetize their craft online through a teaching marketplace, streaming interface, and membership platform.

Anthony Scarpone-Lambert: A Digital, Unifying Home for Healthcare Workers
Anthony: Thanks for having me, Spiffy—hi everyone! My name is Anthony, and I'm a Registered Nurse as well as the co-founder and CEO of Lumify. While working in an emergency department during the COVID-19 pandemic, I felt frustrated by how difficult it was to access the gear and resources I needed to excel. I saw my nursing peers underutilizing resources, leading us to feeling burnt out and overwhelmed. I knew there had to be a better way! That's why I created Lumify, a digital home for healthcare workers that unifies everything we need into one web and mobile platform. With Lumify, healthcare workers can buy our gear, find continuing education, trade advice with our peers, schedule therapy, and so much more!
