Hello and welcome to the Entrepreneurs on Monocle Radio.
The show all about inspiring people, innovative companies and fresh ideas in global business.
On today's program we'll meet two founders driving cultural change through the power of music.
First, we'll head to Havana to get tips on opening a neighborhood hotel from a Grammy winning producer.
Part of the building used to have a very famous jazz club.
It's kind of a miracle that we ended up restoring a building that was known for its musical destination.
And later we'll meet the founder of a music platform tackling the challenges artists face in the streaming era.
We've seen artists.
Do you buy my album and you get a follow back on Twitter?
5 fans are going to get meet and greets on my tour.
You get early access to tour tickets.
And because the artist is in full control of their campaign, they can choose to reward fans wherever they are in the world.
This is the Entrepreneurs with me, Tom Edwards.
You're listening to the Entrepreneurs.
We're starting out today's program celebrating the release of a brand new edition of the Entrepreneurs, our yearly business special of Monaco magazine.
Among the many in inspirational stories in this year's issue is a guide on launching a neighbourhood hotel.
Monacle's Thomas Lewis traveled to Havana to meet Grammy winning music producer Andres Levine.
A 20 year resident of the Cuban capital.
Andres recently restored a grand 1930s hotel building with a rich musical pedigree in the Caiawaso district.
A neighborhood with character that is too often missed by Havana's million annual visitors.
