Artisans & Trade podcast was launched in 2020 by documentary photographer Stephen Obisanya to make information accessible for emerging creatives. He strongly believes that emerging creatives are more likely to succeed and lead a fulfilled life when they are provided with essential resources early on in their creative journey. Through intimate conversations, the podcast is peering into the lives of artists, entrepreneurs, and notable figures to discuss the work they dedicate their lives to. With each featured guest, the podcast is curating a useful learning resource to help emerging creatives develop as professionals.

The Mission:
1. To introduce listeners to a variety of trades; help them discover something new.
2. To make information accessible & transparent for developing creative professionals.
3. To curate a formidable learning archive anchored by the best mentors.

“My vision for the podcast is an ever-evolving catalogue that people can always return to for new knowledge and inspiration from leading professionals and contemporaries across various industries—arts, business, culture, design, and entertainment.” — Stephen Obisanya
